I struggle to think of a single way in which any NYT writer will be meaningfully impacted by a Trump presidency besides the mountains of cash they’ll get for their lazy uninspired orangeman puttering puppet thinkpieces
I think Trump's second win broke Bouie's brain. For years Bouie had soothed his soul with his take that Trump - in my words - got lucky. Bouie would never deign himself to use such a pedestrian phrase as "get lucky". But in effect that was his go-to take year after year. Trump won due to the Electoral College and if only a few dozen thousand votes in certain swing states went to Hillary - she would have won and he would have lost. Plus Bouie could sprinkle in some Trump bugbears libs love. Russia! James Comey! Etc!
Bouie and other lib NYT columnists will surely move to right during Trump's presidency. I'll be interested to see how fast and how far.
