In one word.... ARROGANCE.

During the last 8 years the democrats have been busy redefining America, first with Obamacare which the majority of the American people clearly let it be known that they did not want. They then declared war on our energy sectors, redefined marriage, redefined for us who could use which public restrooms and showers even in our public schools. President Obama pushed the boundaries of the executive branch as he rewrote law, granted sweeping legal status to the undocumented and opened our borders to 100's of thousands of so called refugees from Central and South America and the Middle East, while telling us who we are as a people, such arrogance, telling us how we think even though the American public at large overwhelmingly expressed great reservation at much of what the president had taken upon himself to do alone without congressional buy in. Just how many times did we hear the president tell us that this is not who we are as the American people as if he alone could speak for us and our values. Then we had the Obama Justice Department which has gone after police departments all over the country in an attempt to put them under federal control, they chose to define hate crimes so as to mean that only white perpetrators would be prosecuted... The Obama justice department was blind to government corruption, blind to the weaponization of the IRS, blind to the transgressions of the executive, while it focused on the political advisories of the Democrat party...... Finally we had the courts and the spoken hope of the democrats for activism which would only further the weakening of our country's constitution......

Democrats had decided that they had finally become unstoppable and that they would remold America to their liking, well, that long forgotten silent majority finally rose up and demanded that their voices be heard.

Their arrogance during the last 8 years is a pittance compared to what they are displaying in losing. Their conduct as the losing party in an election is amateurish, childish at best. "How dare we deny them what they considered to be theirs for the asking. Their campaign was deplorable and now their conduct is unacceptable. If the democrats insist on being such bad losers the nation very possibly could show them the exit. Their intent for the nation is crippling and decisive and is leading to the demise of the USA. Seems the Bollyhood contingency promised once again to leave if Killary wasn't appointed president. Go ahead, get out! Nobody is going to miss them or their selfishness. Streisand and Goldburg both promised to leave when Bush won and they are such liars they reneged on their promise. Go on, get out you worthless bastards! America does not need nor want such arrogance.

I completely disagree with your interpretation. People saw it wrong. I do believe that a lot of the ppl who voted have NO idea how government works. They didn't/don't know that the House controls the pursestrings of the gov't. They blamed the office of the presidency when it should have been the House.

We're now stuck with a totally inept man who has the discipline of a child, but the ppl have spoken. I can only wish that he will surround himself with intelligent ppl but looking at his aids, that seems to be a dream. He has reached out to Pelosi and Shuman which is to be commended. I am not militant like some of my Democratic friends are and hope riots stop, however, it is their right. I will hold his feet to the fire tho, Trump's displayed very poor judgement in most of his decisions. I would hope Trump will think twice before appointing Rudy, Newt, Flynn or Carson because they have displayed the same poor judgement.

However much OP wants his thesis to be true, the sharp pencil analysts have been coming up with some fairly complicated answers. One seems to have been lower turnout of former Obama voters. There seems also to have been lessened turnout in other categories that in the past went Democratic. Likewise, there were upticks in other Republican leaning categories. It is going to be many weeks, if not months, before the stats story becomes understood. There is one factoid that is true: if the third party voters had voted Democratic, Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin would have gone to Clinton and put her Electoral College number over 270.
