His daughter does seem to have some influence on him, and she is Jewish. So......

Well you have to separate voter’s perception of things and the actual things. All it tells me is that Clinton was bad at getting her message across.

Lots of people are suffering. You can appeal to everyone at the same time. Its not mutually exclusive to talk about issues that face minorities and issues that face the white working class. Obama did this for two election and was able to win.

I keep repeating this to no avail. But will try again.

Before the election, there were these anti-war people who were vociferously arguing that they couldn’t vote for a war-monger like Clinton, and that it would be a morally compromised thing to do.

Some people chanting that doesn’t mean everybody does.

I am sure he didn’t expect it to be controversial.

Yea I am not arguing that Trump is any good on anything, or that he is in any way likely to fix the problems or that he even cares about them. But, the voters’ perception of Clinton wasn’t good. Again, I voted for her in the primaries, but its quiet clear in hindsight that she was a bad choice.

During the campaign, the issue of TPP came up. Clinton said that she was opposed to it, even though she had previously supported it. Now, I pretty much thought she was lying, and I say this as somebody who is supportive of free trade and voted for Clinton in the primaries and the general.

Its tweeter. It’s 146 characters. Assuming all the context for the what he is saying is just impossible from one tweet

No.

Talking to the white working class doesn’t mean you endorse racism. Bernie Sanders is not a closet racist.

Individuals are smart. But the people are stupid.

If somebody doesn’t vote for Hilary because of their dislike, or even hatred for her, then it doesn’t really make them a racist. Are you going to claim that the non-voters are racist as well because they chose not to vote. They are 42% of the eligible voters. It really cheapens the meaning of the word racism when it…

This is the type of divisiveness and poison that has infected our political discourse and make someone like Trump more possible. Each side goes to its own echo chamber and disavows the others for their political beliefs and refuses to listen to anyone who doesn’t agree with them. It leads to the fractious politics…

There is a reason why we should check Executive Power. When Obama is in office and Congress blocks him at every turn, it might seem like a good idea. But, then you might get someone like Trump and then what are going to do about, now that you have increased the power of the Executive branch and removed the checks and…

Not doubt all the racists and sexists voted for Trump. But if you are kind of missing the point.

See this is what is so difficult about the type of politics and the type of thinking that dominates a certain very vocal section of the illiberal left.

are you talking about Jezebel or other news media outlets? I am genuinely confused.

All the votes haven’t been counted yet. There are still a few million votes left to be counted. When they are the turnout figures are going to be pretty much the same as the 2012 elections.
