I’m asking for an explanation because maybe I’m just not seeing it but according to the Times graph the group that Clinton got hammered worst by were Whites without a college degree.

The appropriate comparisons are distribution of Trump voters’ incomes to Romney voters incomes and Clinton voters’ incomes to Obama voters’ incomes. How well did each do with people at different economic levels vs. expected?

The writers live in a NYC bubble. They don’t know shit that went on in the swing states of NC. People who live in the rural counties of NC overwhelmingly voted for trump and they are overwhelmingly poorer than the affluent suburban and urban whites. Here in Greensboro I knew Hillary would win guilford county but leave…

Do we have income separated out by race? I wonder how much of the white lower income Donald won (I’m sure we can all agree he won a majority). I bet Hillary only won the lower income brackets because so many minorities fall in those, as Jez pointed out.

It’s because, rich or poor, lots of people just don’t like the Clintons, especially Hillary. This isn’t some kind of new development and it’s exactly why I didn’t vote for her in the primaries. Nominating someone who is already unpopular was a really bad choice.

Their exit polling doesn’t go state by state for the Times. It is at a national level. Also nobody smart is saying all his supporters are poor, just that the states he flipped were flipped by poorer working class whites. Since they graph you chose is from the primaries, it isn’t really relevant.

There is only one person to blame to Donald Trump’s victory and that is Hillary Clinton.

“There will be years of recriminations in our future. Many Democrats will, as is their habit, conclude that the fault lies with the left wing of the party — that progressive party activists did not sufficiently support the candidate or that leftward attacks weakened Clinton. But that notion hides a simple fact: In an…

Well, since Pareene lives in New York (which Clinton won), it wouldn’t have mattered whether he did or didn’t vote yesterday thanks to the indefensible electoral college system. This was his whole point about why he was undecided about whether to vote.

Are you familiar with the concept of conscientious objection?

Bernie Sanders has been polling in recent months as literally the most popular politician in the United States. Clinton diehards are going to blame people who would have voted for him, but voted for Stein, Johnson, or Trump. Imagine how many votes that must be, particularly in the midwest, that would have gone to…

Non-voters have just as much right to respond to the results.

I learned that you are clearly a misogynistic misogynist if you think anything other than misogyny caused this misogynistic mess. Don’t criticize Hillary’s perfect campaign, misogynist! Misogyny.

This is, by far, a better morning after take than the ones over on The Slot that, so far, are only blaming Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, and their voters.

Hope everyone is ready for 4 years of this mind-numbing Clintonian fatuousness.

You can tell she works at Fox because of those edges. The ancestors won’t let them settle and lay down, since she sold out.

To be fair, the pap smear requirement for renewing birth control is paternalistic garbage with no basis in science.

I disagree. Birth control is available over the counter in a lot of countries and is very safe on the whole, and there are a lot of people for whom the requirement to see a doctor is a substantial burden.

The point is that you don’t need an iPhone.

I just printed 5 copies of this comment, put them in a metal waste basket, set it on fire, dumped the ashes on my desk and snorted them.
