I didn't even hear you grind the gears putting the bus in reverse to run over another excuse.

Hillary Clinton won the working class vote.

She lost the privileged white suburbanite vote.

Hopefully, that vote finally made it plain enough for even the most die hard middle of the roader to see: (1) that those people fled to the suburbs to get away from blacks, from Spanish speaking immigrants, from gay people, from working people, from Muslims, and from "uppity" professional women (a/k/a OUR BASE); and, (2) that all of our party's focus on issues white suburbanites care about, i.e., the DJIA/their 401K, being tough on crime, being tough on terrorism, low interest rates, etc. won't bring them back.
