#32This event and Brexit are proof that you cannot shame people into voting how you want. Calling them bigots over and over just galvanizes them if anything.

#34Been living in the Bay Area for 17 years. Nothing will change.
Nothing in the Bay Area perhaps. That's not the same as the country or the world.

#35Democrats need a new strategy for middle America. Pretending the coasts and middle America are the same or can be made the same is a failure.

#36So as a European ... Clinton didn't spend enough time in the Upper Midwest expecting to carry those states, but Trump had an actual message for them (NAFTA, etc.) while Hillary didn't, and they don't care that he is racist and sexist, they want their jobs back, so the election was called by a 40+ white demo in an economically depressed region just like old Middle England called Brexit. About right?
he is not racist nor sexist
stop being unbrainwashed.

Yes.
You cannot ignore entire demographics - working class, uneducated etc - and not expect consequences. The Westminster bubble acted as if only London and the SE existed. Clinton and to be fair, most of the political establishment, have been in favour of free trade and NAFTA and ignored the consequences.

#39Every pollster/pundit quit your job now. Edit: I know, not EVERY one of them.
Where are the Nate Silver fans right now?
Honestly, I'm still a fan. He, unlike most other models, gave Trump a healthy shot and cautioned repeatedly that a large polling miss was possible this year. That's pretty much what happened.

#40Ah well, and his party has house and Senate too. I've been looking through his policies and I'm amazed at how he won. I'm gonna be angry about this for an hour before I give find something else to do.
> his party
