They sure did. And they deserve all the union busting they got coming their way.
To think, the rust belt states rejected their Union leaders and Union roots.
Actually, Trump won the popular vote. I didn't vote for Trump. My vote was for Gary Johnson. However, I do see why Trump won this election. People are pissed and wanted change. At this point, I am going to take a wait and see attitude, and see if he does what he said he would do. For right now, Trump is my president, and I am going to give him a chance.
Ok, so when female/latino/black/transgender/gay/etc voted, they voted because there is a very real threat that their 'privilege' of being treated like straight white dudes will be taken away. Their 'privilege' to marry whomever they want. Their 'privilege' to bodily autonomy, their 'privilege' to self determination.
In many cases these people haven't had their 'privileges' for very long. I wish Trump the best, but I also hope Trump doesn't take them away.
Most places I see (CNN, Google, NYT, Fox) have HRC ahead on the popular vote
privileges per the constitution are to be applied equally to all people by the government FOR things the government does ....like services
privileges per the constitution are not supposed to applied to the people by the government on the property that government does not own /render a service.
what we have been seeing a lot of is.......... government dictation over the property of Citizens for political agendas.
I don't blame her actually.... she was the party shoe-in 8 years ago before Barack became the favorite and Hillary was passed over by all the lefty elites, this time she ran against a man who's never held a political office in his life, and lost again. Frankly, were I in her shoes I'd record a grim thin lipped conciliatory 5 minutes and retire to a never heard of island, never to be heard from again. But that's me.... I'm sure the Clintons would not have that much humility or common sense.
I am displeased with the results for sure. I just want to get it going. Many people really wanted this and I want to see what they voted for in effect. Let's get this rolling. Let's see if he makes America Great Again. Or if they were wrong. Let's just find out.

Oh I don't think that was their objective at alli
Bill is. Hillary's an Illinoisan. You must know that.

I never understood that mentality on the left. Is something doesn't work, why is the solution to double down?I think this ginormous slap in the face of the clinton machine will emblolden the crap out of the Bernie Sanders/Elizabeth Warren progressive wing of the Democratic Party. As much as it was a vote for trump or against hillary... within the dem party I think it will turn into a vote of no confidence for that yesteryear clintonian "third-way" politics. That train failed epically last night and I don't see it recovering.
The other option would be that the dem party thinks they need to move hard to the right. That would be an even worse mistake. There is already a party over there and mimicking them won't win the dems anything.
Good morning everyone... So, who won?

Classy response. I am however surprised that you were easily indoctrinated by the Hillary Clinton political machine and the media. Results matter in your world as well as the real world. Hillary's results speak for themselves but were ignored. In the end change was demanded and there was no way we would get that change thus the status quo of high debt, dependence would have continued

Hillary's move to the left was a failing strategy. How will moving to the far, far left improve any chance of taking the Presidency?

Where is Shrubnose when you want him?
And yet what about the Supreme Court? I agree that Trump likely wouldn't pursue those sorts of things, but who he nominates can result in changes without his involvement, or support. Right?
Hillary isn't really left at all.
During the primaries, polls all had Bernie (who is far further left) performing better vs Trump than Hillary.
Although I guess you can't necessarily trust polls.
I see. So you don't want blacks sitting at lunch counters with whites any more.
Just saw where 29 percent of Hispanics voted for Trump.
I wasn't "indoctrinated" I thought (and still think) Trump was a terrible alternative as I don't think he can do the job (and Hillary could)..... but there is plenty of time to discuss that; now is not that time. Enjoy your moment.
See, that is what I don't understand, how is an establishment candidate who was part of the problem going to correct what her resume says she couldn't do? The country wanted change, apparently you didn't. There is no way someone who helped create the problem even knew there was a problem thus wouldn't generate different results
