Leaders of several progressive groups, who had been courting Clinton as a potential ally on many of their causes, have expressed anger in the aftermath of the election, arguing that the result was a repudiation of a campaign driven by the Democratic establishment.

"The Democratic establishment had their chance with this election," said Stephanie Taylor, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. "It's time for new leadership of the Democratic Party -- younger, more diverse and more ideological -- that is hungry to do things differently, like leading a movement instead of dragging people to the polls.

it still seems impossible that Trump could built a big enough group, and even come close to getting nominated or winning the election. It's hard to believe there are so many people in the country who would support a person like that. Can't wait to look more closely at the demographic analysis, and what seemed to motivate those groups.

I was wondering if the polls, or most of them, could be missing a significant segment of more silent supporters (or maybe they weren't silent)--because Trump and his candidacy seemed like such a different animal to me. My college son, who follow politics closely and goes to school in the South, told me several days ago that he believed Trump would win. Of course, I didn't believe him.

Hillary proved to be a shockingly bad candidate, in my view. Her time was 8 years ago. I voted for her, but her lack of honesty and the murkiness of the foundation and how she and Bill have seemed to operate really grew to bug me.
