      Getting out of the DC bubble actually made me *more* inclined to think of many Trump voters as motivated by racism and sexism, not less.

      I'd read the analysis about econ anxiety, then I'd talk to people and hear about imprisoning Muslims, cutting off welfare to lazy blacks.

      That said, there are millions of Trump voters who voted for reasons other than racism. Lots of decent people told me they wanted change.

      But I don't buy the "if media spent time in the heartland, they'd get it" stuff. One, media did. Two, what I learned was regularly ugly.

      Last thing: the big decisive story might not have been the racists or working class. It was the troubled-with-Trump Rs who came home to him.

      A lot of Clinton message was aimed at moderate Republican white professionals, especially women. There wasn't a mass repudiation from them.

      Comey letter brought those people back home to Trump. That was a failed strategy on Clinton's part.

          What we need is a deep think piece exploring why millions of americans knowingly, happily voted for an unstable conman.

          That is, kept them at home, i.e. they didn't vote

          I don't mean this as snark at all. I genuinely don't know and would like to. What should she have done instead?
