Edward L. Keene: Those who protest Trump victory throwing a tantrum

Just acting like spoiled brats who didn’t get their own way! The generation of a trophy-for-everything, of not keeping score and no loser is protesting the election. No, they aren’t protesting, they are throwing a tantrum because they can’t accept not getting what they wanted. A protest is to encourage change, not to change the rules of a legal process that has been going on for over 200 years and is over for this election. Nobody in Cleveland protested the outcome of the World Series.

Edward L. Keene, Waterford
