That being said, I think CNN by far had the best coverage of the elections last night... While many of the reporters and anchors looked like they just had their favorite dog kidnapped, they did the best job of digging into the breakdowns of why each state fell the way it did. FOX spent too much time on talking heads, and not enough on the breakdowns. I mostly watched MSNBC because it was entertaining to see Rachael Maddow wither and groan whenever a projection was made for Trump. I thought she was going to completely lose it when Florida went to him. Then, she started blaming it all on racism. To his credit, Chris Matthews thoughtfully realized what was happening and why. I watched none of it, but what was Matthews take? He realized that Trump had tuned in on what Nixon called the "silent majority" and the forgotten "Reagan Democrats". These are the voters who people like Harry doesn't know exist because they live in "fly-over" states or in areas that are remote from the larger, usually liberal cities. |

- show quoted text - I voted for Gary, absentee voter, as you knew California would go Hillary. And we replaced Sen. Boxer with another dud. Our former AG, who would only defend a state case if it met her personal feelings. Otherwise, toss in the towel. ....... You mean Barb got evicted ? |

I grew up in a small town and can relate to a lot of that even after escaping many years ago. |
