Economics is only one part of the equation. And let's remember that many of those who are supposedly upset about economics had a median income of $70K per annum and voted in a man who has way more money than Secretary Clinton, a man who is a money grubbing grifter and doesn't give a damn about their situations. In some ways, this turned out to be a self-absorbed grievance election as much as anything else.
And just to say...those who think the propaganda against Clinton was her fault and didn't matter, I point you to the DC pizza parlor that was shot up by a man who believed she was running a sex ring out of there. Lies matter whether told by a Con or another Dem, they are always a factor.
