for mishandling classified documents as a "hiccup" in an otherwise fine career.

The double standard is stunning. It is even more stunning that the pundits and press avert their eyes and pretend not to notice.

that he could have won "more convincingly"?

That's an odd choice of words. What makes him think that Americans need to be convinced that he actually won?

And of course it casts shade on Hillary and Democrats.

Use that multi-million dollar paycheck to buy a clue, darlin'. That rancid stench you smell is coming from your own mouth.

“We stand behind our election results, which accurately reflect the will of the American people."

Ivanka is Jewish, as are her husband and children. I'm having a hard time understanding the willingness of the Trump family to tacitly accept support from the neo-Nazi wing of the alt right.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong woman stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the woman who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends herself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if she fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that her place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
