The Left has Google, and Google makes tens of billions on targeted ads. How come it didn’t work for them? Enough people weren’t buying what they had to sell.

If you drive an American made car, you were a voter most likely to have supported Donald Trump.

What does that mean? I own a Toyota, Nissan and a VW. All made in America.

If you look at election results by precinct, you’ll see that nearly all rural precincts are “red” and nearly all urban precincts are “blue”. That coloring is deep enough that any candidate is unlikely to switch the voting preference of that precinct. Those right on the edge, however, are clearly “purple” - if you identify those precincts, and pump enough quality advertising at those few voters, you can probably sway them your way. Do that to enough precincts, and you can sway most any state by shifting preferences of a small percentage of voters, just slightly more than half the already small margin between initial likely voting results statewide.

Blanket voting doesn’t work because some 95% of voters already know who they’re voting for and won’t budge. If that gap is larger than the preference gap, you can win the state.

Fenig Long ago, the workmen -- and yes, they were in all likelihood men -- removed the phony glass shards encased near the top of Madison Square Garden's Javitts Center's ceiling that were to cascade down on Hillary R. Clinton's (D) supporters when she triumphantly was to announce her breaking that invisible glass ceiling against women by winning the US presidency. But to the (still) shock and amazement and even horror of (almost) everyone, Clinton lost. And Donald Trump (R) won. (Let's get this out of the way now -- yes, yes she won a majority plurality of the popular vote but it is the Electoral College that counts.) But not everyone was shocked. Trump wasn't. OK, that's his super confident personality -- winning. And Larry Schweikart, a history professor at the University of Dayton and skilled amateur pollster and analyst along with his Renegade Deplorable Gurus, and Joel Pollak, senior editor and counsel at Breitbart News, weren't either. In their book, out this week, they explain what happened, how it happened and why it happened. Go to the link below and read how Trump won and how LS was a big part of the win. For more info buy LS's book. http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/01/how_trump_won_the_inside_story_of_a_revolution_.html

I don’t know about the American car thing - I have a Honda, but I guess that is now made in America.

Something has really shifted. Right now you have regular people who still stand by the elitists. And regular people, union people, who find their place in the GOP. It is no longer really business capitalists on the right vs. socialist and workers on the left. Indeed, so many in business, such as Silicon Valley are firmly in the progressive camp. I guess in short no longer is it really one CLASS of people against another CLASS. Ideology has now slashed its away down and through CLASS lines. Now the divide is purely ideological. So we now seem to have business interests, who would have once allied themselves with the GOP, completely behind the Democratic Parties. And we have big union leanings workers no longer finding a home there.

Is the left really still stuck on trying to figure out what they did wrong and how Trump got elected?

There must reams of theories written by the left on this subject by now. Just pick the 10 most popular theories and they have their answer; not that it matters either way.

The left is looking back while the right is looking forward. They will probably be stuck in reverse going forward as well.

Ok...My Hyundai was made in America and my Chevy Silverado was made in Mexico.
