How else?... In God We Trust is exceedingly rational.

No, it's very fallacious logic. Reasoning from faulty premises. Basically there are lots of reasons 'else.'

The premises here are "Hillary was 'anointed' and sure to win," and "Trump could only win by divine intervention." Then the conclusion follows "Trump won so a miracle occurred."

But I of course think neither premise is demonstrated. It's actually typical of the bad logic of people not educated to think clearly. Assert premises that give the answer you want, and don't examine them critically.

It does not need logics. All it needs is a veneer, a patina.

Sanders has gone back to basics.
