    Great piece. Black voters in Milwaukee declined to support Hillary out of rational self-interest -- *not* apathy http://nyti.ms/2feAFhh

        Note: the head of the Milwaukee Election Commission says "Voter ID" laws did not account for the swing to Trump, so quit promoting that myth

        The data showed all along that black voters were substantially unenthused about HRC relative to Obama, but these people were ignored.

        Instead the media fixated obsessively on the exotic "Trump voter" as if they just discovered a new alien life form.

        Because a relatively small percentage of voters pay attention to primary campaigns.

        I agree it's a good piece but "rational self interest" is stretching to describe the reasons they give.

        more like consequence of 8 years of Obama's failure to tackle inequality. Neolibs failed, and people are rebelling.

        isn't it amazing what you can learn when you actually go and ask people what they think instead of assuming you know?

        It's not "rational self-interest." It's justified apathy & anger. A lot of them don't understand the problem. Elect Oprah Winfrey?!
