"Elizabeth Warren says Obama doesn't understand 'lived experience of most Americans.'"

126. There's a lot about the data being conveniently ignored:

"likeability" is nonsensical. The fact that a man ten times worse than any democrat is in the white house proves the point that "likeability" is a fickle qualifier. This is someone who did not release his tax returns and dragged political discourse to gutter levels.

He is in the white house. He was REWARDED for his behavior. He is also a man who beat out the supposedly top talent of the republican party, including John Kasich.

Yes, what motivates instincts for segments of the population matter. I referred to myself as an example, but I am not alone. Working class people of color saw through Trump's BS . Obviously none of this negates that it was fatally wrong of the Clinton campaign to rely on the meme that the Obama coalition ( which began to get shakey in 2012) was strong.

So yeah there's a lot of data being conveniently ignored - like the fear of diversity, and other ISM factors that Trump had his finger on.
