So WAS this a repudiation of "politics as usual"?

Democrats need to realize at this point that the GOP played the politics in this election masterfully. Democrats need to shut their mouths at this point, observe and analyze, and re-assess pretty much everything (especially how their message is being delivered and received). 

I think this is the biggest issue. I know I often point to the hate displayed by the accepting in this forum.

I think the biggest mistake Hillary made in the election was where she called half of Trump supporters a basket of deployables ( a sentiment echoed here). That very moment she kissed goodbye any undecided Conservative.

If you want to be accepting of others, be accepting of others.
