To use my favorite British expression, the left has been "gobsmacked". They are unhinged and unmoored by the realization that a majority of Americans have just rejected their most deeply held notions of how things should be.
Compounding that terrible realization is the fact that the rejection of their candidate and their ideas came even though they had amassed the most comprehensive and well funded attack machine any President's ever faced.
They've simply come unglued as many old hardline Eastern European communists did in 1989 when they were shown the door by their own populations.
