Fox Business Network's Melissa Francis calls herself a "news anchor." That means she's supposed to keep her opinions to herself and not be an open advocate for presidential candidates. But Francis didn't even bother to hide her glee at Donald Trump's electoral victory last night.
Here are some of her tweets:
Who's feeling deplorable?

Are we about to get sick of winning?

The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.

Responding to a report that Silicon Valley is very nervous about a Trump win, she suggested California should be broken up:
Maybe California needs to be broken up? Too big to fail? #Caleexit https://t.co/qR9HIZIL9q

Let's not forget that this same "news anchor" said not long ago, "I would gnaw off my right hand and have a stump" before I would vote for Hillary.
