Well duh!
Populism was always going to be the answer, same way minimal government psuedo-intellectualism was the inevitable result no matter who won 1976.
-He won the college-educated by a lot.
And Trump won the wealthy and lost the poor, is he no longer a man of the people?
According to exit polls, Trump won the $250k+ vote by 1%. Romney won it by 10% in 2012.
Also, exit polls are junk. They tend to be very inaccurate. Most national polls had Hillary ahead with the $250k+ group by a pretty solid margin.
The wealthiest communities in America (Greenwich, CT, Darien, CT, Atherton, CA, etc.) all OVERWHELMINGLY voted for Hillary (despite the fact that they voted for Romney in 2012).
To say that Trump won the wealthy is pretty false.
"The exit polls don't indicate what I want them to, so I am going to choose to ignore them."
That's pretty much what you just said, buddy. Also, winning wealthy counties (read: counties where the median income - which is a trash statistic, if not adjusted for cost of living and purchasing power) does NOT mean that you won the wealthiest voters in those counties. There are still FAR more non-rich people in rich counties than there are rich people, you know. If we controlled for cost of living and looked at ACTUAL affluence (ya know, how affluently you can afford to live, how much stuff you can buy, spending cash, etc.), Trump likely won this group by even more.
