A few weeks after I read it my sister started quoting similar facts that she had read in a different article from a different source. We both found it interesting and are surprised we still hear about the generalizations of the voters from both parties. Perhaps, the people that they really are describing are his hard core base and not the "normal" conservatives.

What is false is the frame that it was economically based. That somehow people voted for 45 based on their economic well-being. The simple fact is it was cultural 99.9%.

No, seriously, where are the so-called normal conservatives? Like in pre-war Germany, where are the conservatives of principle who will step forward and denounce what the GOP has become?

to "regular" people wanting to "roll a hand grenade in the halls of DC" for a reason to not vote for HRC or any "mainstream" GOP. What I do not get is how they believed the bluster and Bullshit from a guy who most would like to beat up on a playground for starters, has a track record of Fraud, lawbreakng, distrust, preying on people and contractors, not paying his bills and bragging, while living way above his means.
Now he has shown he doesnt care about his promises, doesn't care about draining the swamp of the real monsters in DC and has backfilled the swamp with capitalist cronies and morons and his ass kissing of the Russians that handed him the election.

Will these Rust belt people finally see through it in 18 / 20? we can only hope

and that corruption is money-centered. As the Romans said, follow the money to understand motivation.

And many people claimed to be motivated to vote against Clinton because of money issues, but to vote for Trump as some sort of protest against Washington corruption is insane.
