Perspective: They’re wonky, nerdy, goofy and trite. The D.C. watch party is a uniquely insightful American tradition.

There was a man in a camo hat, a wonk with a badge around his neck, two women with “Abort Mike Pence” shirts, plenty of others filled the room after the cameras left. I had a delicious, though impotent Virgin Bloody Mary — trust me, it was painful to leave that Tito’s shot at the bar — and decided to leave.
