Pretty much every narrative the Media (and Democrats = same) made up about Trump and his supporters were blatant lies:
1) No chance Trump can win - we know what happened
2) All Trump voters are broke, toothless rednecks on meth - actually more well off on average than Hillary voters
3) There's a bromance and collusion between Trump and Putin - Hillary gave out uranium candy to Russians for money and 'reset' the Russian relationship and it's obvious there's no Trump/Putin bromance or collusion.
4) Trump is an ignorant buffoon - Actually Trump has an IQ of 164 which he used to amass a multi-Billion fortune.

Please cite your source for this.

His speech patterns and vocabulary show no such score.

Before you ask, I know a lot of high-IQ folks, and they don't talk like Trump.

Yeah, they don't talk or socialize at all. They make bombs in primitive cabins in the hills of Montana. LOL

No it's not. He previously admitted he had a relationship with Putin. Also let's not forget in defense of Putin, his comment was "you think our country is so innocent?"

I've never seen proof of Hilary doing that. It's all been hearsay but I'll leave that alone especially since what does it matter when she lost.

Their source is Trump himself. Remember he's got "the brainpower and is very blessed"

Here's some advice: Looking down your nose at your fellow Americans is not a viable political strategy. Especially since you folks don't even seem to know anything about those Americans.

Country Folk Aren
Not really surprising. Trump pulled in a lot of low-income, low-education, gullible voters who didn't know any better, but the Republican party has always been the home of the wealthy - particularly of wealthy people who stomp on the poor. So naturally that raises the average income.

Well, that certainly is the narrative provided by the recipient class.


The truth is it's hard to oppose working Americans who are only trying to get back what has been taken from them by a donor class that owns our politicians and a recipient class that votes themselves what others have earned.


Making the victims of this unholy alliance into the bad guys (bigots and racists) keeps the gravy train rolling.

What's relevant here is the MEDIAN income of a candidate's voters, not the AVERAGE income. The average income of a candidate's voters is heavily skewed depending on which candidate the top 1/5/10 percent voted for.

Also,

"Have ran"

Seriously?

And it's 7 points (51-44 =7) not 6, so your math skills are as bad as your grammar.

In the words of your hero.

The reality is she under-performed there. Under performers lose elections. Probably needed a plus 20 margin there. Her white women edge was just half her white men loss.

I am delighted she under performed.

Election Night analysis HRC vs BO, was excellent btw. Even in non urban areas where BO did not hold a demographic edge, she under performed him.

Actually, I don't know any hermits.

Because hermits don't hang out with people, including me.

And Trump speaking reminds me of the books I learned to read from.

"Oh look Jane. See Spot run. Run, Spot, run."
