MAUREEN CALLAHAN skewers sore-loser Kamala after Trump's victory

Donald Trump's blowout win has been a replay of 2016 — down to an underwhelming female candidate, nonetheless heavily favored by the mainstream media, who couldn't even show her face to concede on Election Night.

Doesn't that say it all?

Kamala Harris thought she had what it took to be President of the United States, yet lacks the integrity, humility and strength of character to admit defeat.

Indeed, just as Hillary Clinton did during her epic loss, an emissary was sent out to tell all those faithful fans gathered at Kamala HQ to pack it up and go home.

Their dear leader would not be joining, now or ever.

Yet we were told that this was the candidate of class. This was the candidate of character.

She didn't even have the grit or grace to admit defeat in a timely manner. Guess who the Dems are blaming for that?

Women. White women, specifically.

Here was Joy Reid on MSNBC last night, self-soothing the only way she knows: 'We have to be blunt about why black voters came through for Harris [but] white women voters did not… This will be the second opportunity that white women in this country have to change the way they interact with the patriarchy.'

Sunny Hostin, in funereal black on The View, pointed out that 'white women' broke for Trump before clarifying: 'Uneducated white women.'

The New York Times, having spent what little capital remained trashing Trump as Hitler, called the result a 'stunning return to power after a dark and defiant campaign.'

Funny — I doubt his supporters found it anything but optimistic, forward-looking and sane.

Over at the NYT podcast 'The Daily' on Wednesday morning, the prime talking point of the resistance emerged: How to deal with the first American president to be a convicted felon and twice impeached?

Jon Stewart over at Comedy Central's The Daily Show: 'I promise you, this is not the end… we have to continue to fight and continue to work day in and day out to create a better society for our children, for this world, for this country, that we know is possible. It's possible.'

Truly, the mainstream media has learned nothing. Again, just as with Hillary — and Joe Biden — they ignored or discredited stories harmful to their candidate, disparaged Trump and his supporters at every turn ('garbage', per Joe), cried sexism and, now, racism, then watched in disbelief as this very same electorate gave them the middle finger.

Make no mistake: This thumping victory was as much a repudiation of Joe Biden as Kamala Harris.

It was a cri de coeur for a return to normalcy, law and order, a secure border, an economy that works for the middle class and strong foreign policy.

It's also a rejection of race-baiting, wokeism, trans madness and the kind of DEI orthodoxy that brought us Kamala Harris herself — a candidate so lazy, unoriginal and patronizing that she thought she'd win the female vote on one issue alone: abortion.

How wrong she was. How very, very wrong.

Voters in Florida ratified the controversial six-week abortion ban. That so-called 'hidden Kamala voter' — you know, the kind of strong, independent woman who lies to her husband about not voting for Trump — failed to emerge, because she doesn't exist.

If anything, Trump had as many, if not more, hidden voters than in 2016.

He won the night early and has won the popular vote, a congruence that leaves no doubt what the American people think, feel and want.

And it's nothing that the left has to offer.
