I’m not sure the whole “deplorable” thing played a very big part in this campaign.

Clinton lost because she lost WI and PA.

She got less voters in WI than Obama did. Post election analysis will tell us why, but it appears to have been not enough younger people turning out.

In PA the loss is more difficult to explain. Clinton will end up with about what Obama did in 2012. However, Drumpfskind is doing much better than Romney.

The question is why? Did Romney’s Mormonism hurt him in traditionally Protestant PA? Or was it the Rust Belt of western PA that bought the spiel about MAGA and industry coming back to the area?

Those two states are what did Hillary in. She would have won with them.

Meanwhile, in FL, it appears as if enough Cuban voters stayed with the Republican party. This is telling. But Drumpf did well in other parts of the state. Perhaps all the old people in Florida just were not ready for a women leader?

Anyway, there will be much to digest. But for now, I do not think that calling out the bigots as such was that big a deal.
