alec macgillis writing on trump voters nov. 10 at propublica.org : what they shared were three things. they lived in places that were in decline, and had been for some time. they lacked strong attachment to either party at a time when, even within a single metro area like dayton [ohio], the parties had sorted themselves into ideological, geographically disparate camps that left many voters unmoored. and they had profound contempt for a dysfunctional, hyper-prosperous washington that they saw as utterly removed from their lives.
