Trump is president; Who is to blame?

[Neo-Scholastic]

In my opinion Hillary was held to an almost insurmountable set of standards by friend and foe.  

I seriously doubt the Republican party would have nominated someone under FBI investigation. In the past, it seems that when suspected of scandal or financial improprieties Republicans tend to purge whereas Democrats tend to defend. FWIW

There is also the case of Romney. Compared to most politicians, he was a boy scout. I agree with Victor Hanson who wrote today...

by November 2012 when he lost, he [Romney] had been reduced to a bullying hazer in his teen-age years, a vulture capitalist, a heartless plutocrat who was rude to his garbage man, tortured dogs, had an elevator in his house, and provided horses and stables to his aristocratic wife. All were either lies or exaggerations or irrelevant and all insidiously cemented the picture of the gentlemanly Romney as a preppie, out-of-touch, old white-guy snob, and gratuitously cruel to the less fortunate.

By comparison, Clinton got off easy and was treated with kid-gloves.
