    She absolutely was. And with the pied piper strategy, she basically said who she thought the worst candidate was in the opposition’s field, then lost to him.

        Yeah, that electoral college really snuck up on her. Just popped out of the blue in 1789, giving her no time to prepare.

        EDIT: Ok., that was harsh. I should go easy on her. After all, she just lost her dear friend Henry Kissinger.
