On election night, when it still looked like Hillary was going to win, commentators said she must
reach out to Republicans in her victory speech.
The next morning, as they blathered on and on - as if they were experts who had not been proven completely incapable of predicting anything the night before - they all agreed that the first thing Hillary must do in her concession speech was reach out to Republican voters.
Of course, not one of them even suggested that Trump reach out to anyone, either when it looked like he was losing or when he had won.
This is one of the several reasons I call bullshit on the "we must reach out to Trump voters" crap.
