I agree with the overall thrust of this analysis, however it does not spell out even more the main point - that so many of the media, the pundits, and the pollsters live in a self-referential, insulated, extreme left, "politically-correct" ghetto. And that they have nothing but withering contempt for what Trump graciously called the "forgotten people" or in Hillary's more élitist colorful language, "the basket of deplorables".  They have been living for far too long in a multi-racial, multicultural and multi-faith bubble to even know where the "pulse" of White America is, let alone feel it. They have been too agog at the looming possibility that White Americans, especially White Evangelical Protestant America would be reduced to a powerless minority in their own country to even care about their fate. With the election of Trump, White America struck back. They took back America back, and will never again let go. They will see to it that that loss never happens again. Think Pence.
