David, 31, New Jersey: ‘I regret not voting, I never thought Donald Trump would win’
I would have voted for Hillary Clinton, but I didn’t. I thought she would win the White House.
I feel heartbroken for those disenfranchised Americans who voted for Trump, not because of his divisive rhetoric, but in spite of it. Hillary is a genius diplomat, but she proved, once again, to be an ineffectual communicator. She could not reach those desperate to put food back on their table. I used to drive past the front-lawn Trump signs in my town and dismiss the homeowner as a lunatic, but my own liberal elitism has blown up in my face. They are not lunatics, they are people with a different experience to me, and that has swayed how they vote.
I hope we will begin to understand how Trump voters’ experiences, not their ignorance, led them to this position. But I am scared to death for our environment, for those among us who are in need of care and, most of all, for those who cast their vote for Trump. They thought he was their last chance for prosperity. For these middle-Americans, the past was greater than the present. They remember a time when they, and their entire extended family, had decent-paying jobs. When every storefront in their now-deserted town had a thriving local business.
There was a stark disparity of views in this election, and why was the result so unexpected? Because when the liberal establishment of this country drove by front-lawn Trump signs, they had the same response as I did....

Wut?
How in the blue heck are they "disenfranchised" when they voted?
Or is this some new definition of "disenfranchised", the way they have redefined "racist" to mean "honky"?
“. I don’t even think he is a good business person and he’s definitely not smart. “
I stopped reading at that comment.
Typical sore loser stuff.

“Hillary is a genius diplomat,...”
This is from a satire site, right?
There you go again: speaking the truth.
Don’t worry there were millions of illegals that voted for you.
I never thought Donald Trump would win.
Thank you for not thinking you did a good deed for the country.
Trum voters are a part of the damn environment, idiot. I doubt they endorse ACTUALLY damaging it.
Sucks to be you.
Welcome to reality.
“genius diplomat, but she proved, once again, to be an ineffectual communicator”
You can’t be both of those things at the same time. It is impossible.
David, 31, New Jersey, who wears his underwear backwards for easier access to Muslim jihadis, declares his Cuckness for all the world to see.
“This fella needs to get checked for a brain tumor. “
I think it’s a chick dude.
Destroying stability and order in the Middle East and permitting ever increasing aggression from Russia and China and shoveling diplomatic dirt onto the only long term stable government in the area took genius??? Was that an outcome that was so difficult that it took someone with a 160 IQ to accomplish it? It seems the definitions in use are spurious.
The Grauniad is just a rag, trying to explain to its left-wing readership why Hillary didn’t get the victory that she was scheduled to get.
LOL
Hillary is a genius diplomat, but she proved, once again, to be an ineffectual communicator.
If she was an ineffectual communicator how could she
have been a diplomat?
Does NOT compute!!!
