Standing with some 30,000 people in front of Independence Hall in Philadelphia the night before the election
watching Hillary Clinton speak, exhausted aides were already worrying
about what would come next. They expected her to win, of course, but
they knew President Clinton was going to get thrashed in the 2018
midterms—the races were tilted in Republicans’ favor, and that’s when
they thought the backlash would really hit. Many assumed she’d be a
one-term president. They figured she’d get a primary challenge. Some of
them had already started gaming out names for who it would be.
“Last night I stood at your doorstep / Trying to figure out what went
wrong,” Bruce Springsteen sang quietly to the crowd in what he called
“a prayer for post-election.” “It’s gonna be a long walk home.”
