Democrats point to a thousand reasons that Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election. Here is another.
In political circles, it’s common knowledge that in four key states President Trump unexpectedly carried counties that Democratic presidential campaign strategists had failed to recognize as crucial terrain — sparsely populated areas of Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
In “What I Got Wrong About the Election,” for example, published right after Clinton lost, David Plouffe, who had managed the Obama campaign in 2008, wrote that
Trump’s margins in rural and exurban counties were off the charts. For example, in Madison County, an exurban area outside Columbus, Ohio, Mr. Romney’s margin over Mr. Obama was 20.4 percentage points; Mr. Trump’s margin over Mrs. Clinton was 39.8.
Plouffe added that this “happened in thousands of counties throughout the country, and it added up quickly.”

When will the corrupt media understand Hillary is nothing more than a citizen. She is history.
Both parties had been nominating candidates advocating amnesty for illegal aliens for 30 years.
The citizens wanted it stopped.
Trump said he would.
He won on that.
He won the primary and the general the day he came down that escalator and sided with Americans and the rule of law.
Everyone else was siding with illegal aliens and their employers.
I realize that you did not edit this video. However, it is the epitome of a video which has be truncated far too short. People who prepare these snippets inevitably cut off the action far too soon. Videos like this need to run slightly longer in order to let the gravity of the situation sink in.
The only reason I can think that this would be the norm is to limit the size of the video file. But it really damages the effect.

I want to see that “diversity index” charted along with crime rates.
Most of the free conversion/hosting sites only give you ten seconds max.
Hillary helped by not courting her base.
Thank you Michigan!!
Because if she wasn't married to Bubba, we'd all be going....Hillary who?
More than a few people here in Pennsylvania thought voting for Trump was like giving the finger to Romney and the GOPe. But I repeat myself.
I made it about two thirds through the article and my barf index pegged. It’s not that Democrats have thrown open the door to third world tribalists that caused the problem. It’s the white civilized people not liking it that caused the problem. Barf. Just barf.
Here’s the money quote, complete with two, count them, two exclamation points.
“And now all these immigrants come and are changing the society!!”
Damned right they’re changing it. From good and working to broken and not working. They imported a bunch of refugees from the middle east and the city gave them $16000 each. Suddenly Costco was flooded with Arabs who are rude and use their cart to muscle ahead of you in line. I wondered what the local poor blacks thought about the city giving people who are rich enough to come here and buy cars $16000. I haven’t noticed any political blowback and there hasn’t been a Republican elected in this county since after the Civil War.
Works for me.
I can't think of a single thing Hillary Clinton did that bettered the lives of American citizens. She was low energy, and whenever she pulled strings it resulted in disaster and American lives lost. No good accomplishments, no great legacy, nada.
1. I still remember when at the VERY BEGINNING of Trump’s primary campaign he came out and unequivocally denounced unrestricted illegal immigration, and the collective media blew its collective top and unequivocally screamed that his campaign was now deader than a door nail. How’d that work out for you???
2. Note to leftist ememedia: under no circumstance cease enabling the loser known as Hillary Clinton from sucking all of the oxygen from the leftist/Democrat universe.
Probably gun-toting, Bible thumping, taxpaying Russki immigrants.
Professional Democrat operatives were faced with admitting that Trump was telling the truth. They were far more unprepared for that, than for what they saw as small stuff happening in the unimportant hick towns.
Why does she have her hands behind her back like she's in handcuffs???
