    "Income inequality" is not anywhere near the root of Trump voters' discontent. That's the Bernie Bros' deal.

    It is still too early to get a clear idea on what could have been done differently. And hell,
    nobody knows anything so how can we even begin to address the problem?

    The U.S. government will be the first business Trump has ever run that doesn't regularly stiff its contractors and/or declare bankruptcy.

    You've apparently never done business with the U.S. government.

    Oh god I just remembered he wants to default on the debt.

    Well, I guess given that he is going to abdicate the world leader status that makes countries want to prop us up, I guess it makes a twisted sense.

    Thanks. I agree with your post except for one minor thing. And maybe even there we are ageeeing. That party establishment you are talking about didn't make her that standard bearer for any ideological reason or for love of her. That establishment is inherently corrupt and she has spent her life trying to benefit herself by any corrupt means possible. She and her husband have brought along a circle of people for the ride who also benefitted from the game they set up. So in that regard, it isn't that they didn't hear people. It's that they didn't give a shit. They thought they could buy their way in over and over again, regardless of the actual vote. But people had enough of it.

    If there is one good thing about the debacle that was this election, it is that hundreds of millions of dollars funneled to her thinking she'd pay it back after she got elected. That includes some very disparate constituencies--all that have perpetuated a very corrupt game. For once they didn't get to buy power at the unfair expense of everyone else. The flip side of that comeuppance is that a bullshit artist clown incomprehensibly got elected president.

    So, assuming she didn't have a concession speech ready last night, it would have been absolutely fascinating to be able to watch what was going on in the room with HRC and her inner circle, as the impossible was unfolding, and seeing the reactions, emotion and commentary.
