Hillary Clinton has to apologise to Indian Express columnist economist Surjit Bhalla for betraying his staunch faith in her winnability. (His column is titled, ‘No proof required’). He has written 4 columns since August predicting first a landslide, then a double digit win, and then an easy win and finally, on November 8, a win. He added in his last column that the future of Western civilisation depended on the outcome of this election.
