2016 Postmortem

(CNN)There's one terrifying issue on the ballot next week that should have your attention: the treatment of women in a world where Donald Trump is in charge.
Strong words, but it's time we stop pretending they're not true. Right now, our country is getting a world-class lesson in male entitlement and sexism from a candidate, his mostly male political operatives and a cadre of supporters apparently enraged over the ascendancy of a woman.
Whether it's the "hubris" of Megyn Kelly, of Fox, who dares challenge Trump on camera, or the fact of his opponent, Hillary Clinton, continuing to dominate him in the polls, Trump can't stand it.
Consider: By his own account, he always wins. Right now, he's at risk of losing, and losing to a woman. In Trump's world that doesn't happen.

Absolutely! In many ways, I think it is worse than with the rich.
