The reason why the Clintons were so loved by Dems was because they drove the Republicans crazy because no matter what the scandal was they could never make anything stick, that's the slick in Slick Willy. They welcomed scandal so they could put on display their ability to weasel out of it, with the help of a lapdog media. This bitch is on tape laughing about a client she got off, a child rapist, who raped a 12 year old girl so violently she couldn't have kids, ever. If that didn't sway every voter nothing will, it did get her 2 million more votes in CA. so if you're a child rapist go to CA. you'll probably get a sympathetic jury. The demographics he pissed off were the ones he wasn't going to get anyway - illegals, homos, unions, welfare slugs, the Congressional Black Caucus, The Congressional Hispanic Caucus etc. etc. What he did do was excite a forgotten, silent majority who have been vilified, pickpocketed, environmentally regulated out of a job, beaten down and told that because of their mere existence they are responsible for all the ills of society - the white Christian middle class. The reason he resonated was because someone FINALLY had the balls to tell these misfits we've had enough that's it. Get out of our country, our pockets, our children's bathrooms, keep your hands off my gun, my job and my gas guzzling car. Trump was filling stadiums from the start and never stopped, Hillary couldn't fill the back of a gym. Politics is a sport, campaigning is a contact sport the one who hits the hardest wins. if you want everyone to like you start a pet rescue but don't go into politics or become Jeb Bush - 120 million dollars and he's changing his father's diaper.
I don't disagree, but my thoughts are this: In every election, the right will vote for the right, the left will vote for the wrong and nothing will change that. The two are actually pretty equal in size, leaving the "undecided voters" as the swing vote, and in my opinion, they are the ones who are really in control of the election, since the right and wrong pretty much cancel each other out.This election was unique as a large portion of the wrong, went even further wrong and supported a socialist. With Bernie's loss, many of those Dems could not vote for the Hilderbeast. Combine this with Demoncrats who saw Hilderbeast for the lying, corrupt, treasonist thief that she really was. They didn't want to vote for her, but didn't want Trump either. Also, there was a large swath of Republicans who didn't want Trump. I think both of these fringes were much larger than typical. I think the Wikileaks revelations effected the fringes on both sides, steering the election to Trump. Just my thoughts.
