I see the coastal US voted for the more socialistic Democratic side, the South and Mississippi River heartland voted for the Repubs. While I think racism has a bit to do with the voting pattern, I also suspect that the Dems offered nothing to the middle class non university pop)>
Racism is a wild card, and it really is not dealt fairly......
I think you see that had a effect this time under the umbrella of PC push back.
How many Blacks, voted for Obama, because he was Black?
Is that racism?
I think when you try and mince out, every reason as to why a vote was cast, you can arrive at your intended results.....
How everyone got the electorate wrong is the big question.
Trump was reported at only the slimmest of possibilities to attaining the victory in that count.
Some talking heads gave him the popular, because the deplorable just plain out number the rest, yet, they didn't really show up in HUGE numbers across the nation....
Again, I think it was a Clinton failure, they saw Bernie as the real obstacle and focused on him more than Trump.
Like me, I thought, and to some effect still, have a hard time taking this clown as serious.....
We'll see.
But Bernie exposed her to how far right Clinton is, personally.....
The "private" person, not public....
And when the shenanigans of Wasserwoman made Wikileaks, she had to spin more, the very liability of perception that has saddled her and kept her from ever getting high trust numbers.
Think about it....
The press, academia, BIG money from around the world, the most ever, the Clinton machine, and the fear that machine seems to exert over anything that might think about voicing an opposition to it......
LOST.......... to a clown, WTF.......????
That is the BIGGEST story of 2016.....
This is like winning the first 3 games of the world series, and losing the next 4......
TIMES 10 MILLION.......
The Bern votes that didn't return to their "obligation", and the few minority votes that heard Trump say, "what do you got to lose?" tho small in number, made a huge difference in the outcome..... I believe.
