“When was the last time we won?”Back at sea level, what joy it was to behold this: so much winning! And here there is more good news, a broader kind of winning — for common sense, for the basic goodness and decency of the majority of people in this conflicted and troubled democracy of ours. The winning is not necessarily for Hillary Clinton, though she is of course the beneficiary. Remember Joe Biden’s line at the Democratic convention: “We own the finish line.” Trump once said that a time would come when there would be so much winning that people would get bored with it. The winning is happening; lightness is prevailing.
