67% of low-income Americans "worry a great deal" about where their next meal will come from and keeping a roof over their heads. Yet many of these people voted for Trump, because....he's always taken great interest in helping poor people. NOT.

My guess is they realized the same old, same old was not getting it done.....so they took a leap of faith. Also, fly-over state folks were tired of being made fun of or forgotten. Combine that with an opposing candidate like Hillary and even someone like Trump can win.
Solution? Start voting for candidates who do NOT have a D or R next to their name.
