As a Republican who voted for Hillary, I never believed that Trump would win. But I should have known better after watching Trump basically wreck the GOP all the while driving out voters in ways never before seen.

Steve Schmidt was spot on last night: the old left-right politics in this country are dead & gone. The axis is no along economic & class lines. I do not believe we can work toward the common good unless & until conservatives in this country are able to encounter & engage with minorities, or the left (including "social justice" Catholics") can encounter & engage with whites economically left behind. And dismissing them as moral retrogrades isn't sufficient.
