The article begins with a list of what might have contributed to the Clinton loss. Duh? Maybe I missed something but my question is why Trump didn't lose.  So many of the values I hold, some of which I struggled for, have been trampled by this result. WHY DID A MISOGYNISTIC, SEXUAL PREDATOR, ROBBER BARON, RACIST,  IGNORAMUS, NARCISSISTIC EGOMANIAC get more votes (in some areas) than a pedantic, good-living, dedicated public servant with all the warts of an unfaithful husband and a sense that women know what is best for them- as reasonably questionable/negotiateble as that may be.
Rust belt, economical evolutional change, adaptation to environmental change be damned.
