Wrong. The water cooler conversation was mostly about a choice. Hillary and the Clinton machine represented more of the same, conservatives rejected it. We all know and knew coworkers that have vaporized... Laid off and faded away. God only knows how they fared. Lost homes, lost their marriage, cut ties with friends in unnecessary embarrassment.
This was about change. It wasn't about trump. (As my pastor said, it's all about which toilet bowl you want to lick)....Neither is a good choice, but American workers have seen the carnage of the last eight years. No recovery, or at least lack of recovery, and a disconnected White House drove last night's results along with the prospect of more Clinton machine business as usual politics
