HOUSTON: One way to view the change: Seven post-election thoughts

HOUSTON: One way to view the change: Seven post-election thoughts

By Debra Houston, contributing columnist | What did we learn from the election?

1. Trump earned the white guy vote. They didn’t organize, demonstrate, or riot, but they voted. The Midwestern guy thought in accord with the Southern one: “I’m tired of being blamed for all the ills of the world.” Unemployment is a big issue for these guys, especially after manufacturing went overseas. Trump addressed their concerns.

FOCUS: Had Clinton Won Florida and Wisconsin, she would be president-elect

BRACK: Voters on both sides lament “What to do?” in presidential race

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | If I have heard this once, I have heard it a dozen times this political year. It continues, here two months before the presidential election.

“I just don’t know what I’m going to do in the presidential election.”

TUGGLE: Looking back at presidential campaigns in the last 50 years

By Hoyt Tuggle | In modern times, political primaries seem to be a better indication of undercurrents in American political life than do general elections.
