Think about this:
What if someone came to Hillary just before the election and said “It’s been decided. It will be Trump”. Cancel the fireworks, don’t come near the celebration. Just commence to drinking.
All this anti-Trump backlash sure did spin up awfully quickly. Money for buses already allocated.
I can see a thought process behind the idea. At the same time it would be difficult for me to accept that the powers that be on the Left would agree to hand off to a man that is about to set them back 30 years.
After all their hard work over the last 30 years, they are about to watch Trump reset to Reagan’s day, and perhaps even farther back.
As for the after election protesting and buses, this may have been a contingency plan worked out weeks before. The people were already on board for pre-election protesting.
Flip a few signs and back out on the streets with them.
