This article from medium.Com breaks it down in a very simple way why Trump won and it is the DNC's fault. I'm on my phone so it is hard to copy and paste, but it goes to say hilary was a cook, the media lied, they had a chance to win with Bernie, and they blew it. It isn't long. Give it a read and share if you agree.

FOX had a breakdown of demographic voting last night on one of their shows. According to the person doing the piece, she said Trump received 20% of the Bernie vote which helped Trump. I'd think that would depend on where those actual Bernie votes were cast. Would be interesting to know if some of those votes flipped the blue states to red.

I personally know a few Bernie supporters who voted for Trump. I also know a few Democrats who voted for Gary Johnson because they just couldn't vote for Clinton.

I know at least two women who now acknowledge that they voted for Trump, and admit that "grab them by the pussy" was the sort of thing they'd heard their brothers or male friends say.

Exactly. These people that are pissed off are directing their anger at the wrong people. They need to be mad at their own party.

They have completely forsaken their biggest voting bloc: white, straight, middle class voters. They have gone all in on single issue or minority voting blocs, while expecting the white blue collar dems to come to them unsolicited. Their messaging to whites was incredibly lazy: russians, tax returns, and sexism have nothing to do with issues people reaaly care about. They forced thier flawed csndidate down everyone's throat, expecting the electorate to swallow. They ignored the groundswell that was Bernie Sanders, and they were fooled by their own astroturfing.

They live in a bubble. The polls all show them winning, the media swoons for them, and the SJWS are willing to sucker punch an old lady to advance thier agenda. They are never criticized from within, and republican criticism is dismissed as unhinged racism. They've created a artificial reality to fool voters, and as a consequence, they have fooled themselves.

Yep. The simplest explanation I know to describe the difference between a Dem and a Rep - a Dem votes for causes, a Rep votes for country. The Dems ran out of causes this election. Notice how eerily quiet the "causes" angle of this election was. Practically nil.

It's like being on DU 24 hours a day. They surround themselves with lackeys. They use their power to seed the media, federal agencies, and judicial benches with lackeys. They have thousand of lackeys on their staffs that all trickle down to press rooms or lobbying firms. It's so inbred, it takes my breath away. DC voted 93% for Hillary! Less than 12k voters for Trump in our nation's capital.
