Patricia M. Walker: The bully won

Remember that bully in school who was always slamming our head into our locker and then laughing about it; the one who talked back to the teacher, who made fun of the crippled kid in gym class and who was always trying to kiss the girls, whether they wanted him to or not? The one momma said never to associate with because he wasn’t nice? Well, some of us just elected him president of the United States.
