Obama’s plan to bring Section 8 to their neighborhood not proving to be very popular, eh?
All walks of life can identify with him.
Guess not a lot of Fairfield listens to El Rushbo or the Glenn Beck Insanity Hour.
It's embarrassing to admit that you're going to vote for him, but you just don't admit it.
>>>> .... think that he tapped into economic anxieties that even the well-to-do share.
BINGO! Well-to-do today doesn’t mean a thing if Obama/Hillary is allowed to continue to wreck the country.
In this election, two top priorities amongst voters mind -

Even the economically successful see that there are things wrong with the country.
Maybe now that they have made it, they want to keep it.
It would seem that trump’s wide base would matter at least as much - Oregon becomes his tonight.....and Washington follows next Tuesday
A bastion of conservatism among socialists.
Americans, whether they understand the source of their problems or not, do not like globalism.
Fairfield CT just lost a MAJOR employer as General Electric moved their American headquarters to Boston.
People in CT are pissed and have come to realize that these high taxes are killing them.
A major surprise in this election, Trump wins both PA and CT.

She got a higher percentage of the vote in Greenwich, Darien, and New Canaan than in Bridgeport or New Haven (of course they were voting against a declared socialist, but still ...)
Certainly, the whole country won't go the way of Connecticut in November, but once you get over some people's surprise that Trump has any voters at all in upscale suburbs, there may be less to this story than meets the eye.
If you have to tell us, it doesn't
