To the editor: Bitter-grapes partisans ought to transfer previous the “slim victory, no mandate” argument repeated by a letter author not too long ago. (“Trump’s slim victory margin doesn’t entitle him to any Cabinet members he wants,” letters, Dec. 8)
With some exceptions, most presidential elections over the previous couple of a long time have been very shut.
Mandate or not, nobody is silly sufficient to imagine there is not going to be sweeping adjustments in governance with the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, whose administration might be fortified with majorities within the Home and the Senate.
Let’s cease appearing like some silver-medal sprinter in a 100-meter sprint getting snotty with the gold medalist as a result of “solely” a tenth of a second separates them. Give the person his day.
