It's the racism, stupid!

That's why Donald Trump is President. Well, racism and misogyny mixed with (white) American middle-class "populism."

Sums it up. And hopefully we are awake now. We need to focus on midterms and increasing voter turnout.

So I think that misogyny would be me first choice. Plus the interference by the Russians and Comey should be in the mix, and the unexplained dislike that so many democrats harbor against Hillary. Racism definitely could be part of it, but I am not sure what racist voters where trying to achieve in voting for trump. Possible because he is a racist and they felt he was one of them.
