Quantifiable

To quote David Adler, “To talk about the issues without using numbers is to not quantify, and really amounts to babble no better than gossip.”

What about using the wrong numbers? Do the wrong numbers quantify? Hillary Clinton did not win California by 2.9 million votes. I don’t recall anyone, not even the DNC, acknowledging this number. She won the whole country by 2.9 million votes. That number is quantifiable. But let’s go on.

Please show me the quantifiable in the rest of his letter. “The DNC makes a false distinction, which actually has a difference, vis-a-vis, electoral vs popular, and so used faulty logic.” Trump won the electoral vote. The DNC has never disputed that. He is slated to become president shortly. Hillary won the popular vote. That’s been proven. She will not take office. The DNC has acknowledged this, too.

Yes, aspersions are being cast at Trump, just as aspersions have been cast at Presidents-Elects for as long as I can remember; and that’s a long time since I’m a senior citizen. Let’s talk a bit about taking “responsibility.” Have you seen Trump’s tweets? Hillary has been open and dignified about her loss. She gave a moving speech conceding the election. The only thing trump can manage is nasty tweets about everything and everyone.

Yes, we are worried. We now have a person who is “unhinged” with his finger days away from nuclear weapons. If you are not afraid, you are a fool.

Adler’s use of “Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest” to refer to John Podesa is not quantifiable, which is what he was complaining about in the first place.
