He killed Hillary in Michigan and Wisconsin and the theory is that he would have taken Pennsylvania as well with his 80+% of the youth vote. Without those three Trump wouldn't have had the electorate votes. It's Gypsy fortune telling and all but it was a good read.
I thought Bernie, my favorite, was probably too progressive to win. I may well have been wrong about that. I thought Trump was too dishonest and superficial to win and was obviously wrong about that.
They're showing a special on MSNBC right now; 'Bernie Sanders in Trump Country'. It's a town hall hosted by Chris Hayes in West Virginia.
Lots of miners and low-income rural adults in the audience. Bernie connects very honestly and easily with them. They're in complete agreement with Bernie's stance on healthcare (free public healthcare should be a right) and concerned that Trump seems to be drifting away from his promise to provide them high-quality affordable healthcare. Obamacare has helped them a whole lot.
It's worth the watch if you have a chance to check it out, Gunnar.
