Mr. Trump did not win because he courted the racist homophobic vote, he did not win because of the media. He won because in one major area he ran as a Democrat. He ran on a protectionist trade policy that traditional blue collar democrats found attractive. He won Pennsylvania not because the center of the state went red - they always have and always will. He won because Erie County went red and Scranton (Biden's hometown) barely stayed blue. These are democratic strongholds. Like Ronald Reagan - Donald Trump was successful in communicating ideas to regular blue collar men and women. His performance overall in the "rust belt" proves that.
If democrats want to learn anything from this election they will seriously look at how they have suddenly become the party of Wall Street and big business and how they allowed a real estate tycoon and big businessman to win over so many traditional democrats.
