50. The takeaway should be that we'll need to fight hard to the end

Stop buying this "Hillary has it in the bag"nonsense. It's crap. Unless we keep our foot on the throttle and keep Trump on defense, we can still lose this.

Blue collar whites are angry and terrified. It's not just kind or trade deals, but a nation they feel that they built, and where they no longer feel valued or respected. Ohio is close enough to West Virginia to relate to coal miners recoiling at the push for clean energy, and has felt perhaps more than their fair share of the meth and heroin crisis, and see the simplistic motion of closed borders with Mexico solving that.

It's easier for them to accept that the election is rigged than to accept that every person of color and a majority of those with college educations will vote for a woman whom they despise.

We have to continue to sell the notion that a vote for Hillary is a vote for a human decency Trump lacks, and to make the case that the white working class can be a very productive part of a changing America. We need to convey that change is here and Trump's promises of American renewal are hollow.
