Has it been discussed already, but why did Hillary did so poorly among the Natives? Even in 2008, the Native counties were mostly won by Obama. Do the Natives, kind of like the Mormons, not think that women should hold positions of authority?
While the vast majority of native americans are socially liberal your going to have a lot of socially conservative 'hardhats' aka: social conservative but economically left-leaning.
Plus Native americans are a group that mostly scales in lower incomes because many live on reservations where there is lack of job opportunity. A lot of them supported Bernie Sanders and a portion of them either refused to vote for Hillary or stayed home.
I kinda realized it during the election campaign but i was in denial at the time but what happened is that there is a huge populace in which Hillary was unpopular and its usually those on lower incomes who feel either Hillary wasnt going to do much to change their life or that she's corrupt and so there was no point in voting for her in the first place. And working class people's opinion on her was a lot into those either two camps which explains a big reason for three things that happened. Minorities who stayed home, minorities who switched to voting for trump, WWC that voted for Obama either in 2008 or 2012 swinging heavily to Trump.
Had Bernie Sanders been the nominee then given his progressive economic platform they would had turned out the way they did for Obama. Especially without the negativity that was placed on Hillary.
