You are oversimplifing this. These people are pissed off at Washington and Wall Street and they believe Hillary would be more of Obamas business as usual. And guess what? The emails proved them right. http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/oct/8/hillary-clinton-says-she-has-both-public-and-priva/ http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/oct/8/hillary-clinton... The DNC is full of incompetent hacks whom were arrogant enough to have allowed this to happen. She dismissed half the country as deplorable, visited Virginia and told the miners there she's shutting the coal plants down. Wore 15 thousand dollar pantsuits to events on poverty. Its not surprising that she lost its surprising that she got as many votes as she did.

And guess what. Trump is doing exactly the same: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/donald-trump-transition-gop-insiders-lobbyists-231224 http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/donald-trump-transitio... You didn't think the US Government could be run entirely by outsiders did you ?

  I never said I did. She ran a tone deaf campaign and it was made clear she was in the pocket of wall street. Trump at least tried to look like an outsider. That's why he won, like it or not.

  It was at one point. While a little troll-y still a fun thing to consider.

> These people are pissed off at Washington and Wall Street and they believe Hillary would be more of Obamas business as usual. I really question this. It keeps getting said, but looking at the numbers from Wisconsin/Michigan/PA trump did get mroe votes, but really Hillary had a massive drop. He had 1300 more votes in Wisconsin than Romney, Hillary had 250k less than Obama. So is it really angry white americans who trump stole in droves from the democrats... or a democratic candidate who couldn't get people to show up. The rest of those red states are pretty much just the states that always vote red + florida (and florida does what florida does).

  >but really Hillary had a massive drop Obama campaigned on change, people voted for him because they believed him. Many of them were white. Now, when those same people refuse to vote or vote for Trump. They are nothing but racists. The media and democratic party narrative doesn't hold water.
