Trump has managed to lose these self-absorbed assholes in the first 150 days. Finally there's his base of bigot, xenophobic, nativist, nationalistic poor disenfranchised white people (who have had all the advantages in this country since the founding)...the remaining 35% of the country are, of course, sticking with him. Despicables forever.
That's 98%. In thinking about it further...the missing percent or so in there are miffed milennials, (and other massively self-absorbed types with personalities that put them on the other side of the same coin with Donald) mostly infected with Bernie-itis, who decided to spend election day in some fucking Starbucks somewhere sucking down their Triple, Venti, Half Sweet, Non-Fat, Caramel Macchiato's...and who are the most despicable of all. And an extra-special happy independence day too all of you.

Uh, wow. Pretty cynical analysis, but pretty typical of how Dems are way off in their analysis of the Nov election.
Start with the highlighted part above: depending on what poll you look at, Trump sucked in about 10% of the Dem vote. Mostly Dems who were not satisfied with the overall economy, and yes, this number is disproportionately white and male. But,
Dems forgot about this segment of the vote a long time ago, and it has come back to haunt them. If the Dems had even tried a little to appeal to this group rather than consistently alienate them, Hillary would likely be in the White House now.
