We are bidding farewell to a moment that represented the entirety of the U.S. population in a way the coming era never can. Why so dark? The results of the past election provides evidence that this was not the case. The Obama administration perhaps represented the views of the "Enlightened Urban Population" and the Liberal Arts Educated media that serve as their voice. But the polls have proven that the American Population as a whole was not represented as the majority by their government. Bernie Sanders won the popular vote for the Democratic Primaries, but was not anointed by the Great and Powerful Obama and the Democratic Party Brain Trust and did not get the nomination. The pollsters did not see the Trump win, but only because they didn't bother to venture beyond the great city limits that provided the answers to the polls that they were seeking. This fact was brought to light by a few brave pollsters themselves. The Counties mood was reflected by the elections outcome.
