It's the day after the election.

I find it telling that Stevens has chosen to rail against the current Republican president. A republican who has no interest in employing Stevens. This has to be difficult for a fella who has had little trouble getting work from all the previous republican contenders. I am absolutely no fan of Trump, but Stevens is the same operative he has always been. His rhetoric is always about what's best for Stuart Stevens. Never doubt that.
