I often say "Never underestimate the stupidity of the average American." But I sure did not think that this would happen. I knew it'd be close, but it looks like the white, backwater, racist, homophobic, idiotic rednecks really came out in force this time.
I think that's distilling it a little too far. Of course there was an element of that, but I think what typed there election was the anti-Washington vote. Anything but the old guard. Trump was not supported by the Republican old guard, but that made him more attractive to those Republicans dissatisfied with their party.
