Democrats Want Change

Instead they vote with their feelings and emotions. That's how Obama got elected..."the first black president, how cool is that"!?!?!?!.
Hillary ran on nothing, no message.

Then there are people without brains. The low information types. They also vote democrat.  Those who don't even know how many states there are in the U.S....or the misinformed who get their news from Bill Maher then go and try and assassinate Republicans at a baseball game.

This is the kind of inflammatory partisan attack that does nothing to further the discussion on these topics. It is in itself an argument rooted not in logic and knowledge but in emotion.

Now, to respond to your post. The majority of both parties vote based on emotion. It is not a one-side thing. For example, Trump may have had a message but it was an empty one. There was no substance to back it up. Clinton didn't have a strong message, but her campaign had white papers upon white papers outlining her policy positions.

Emotion won the day in the electoral vote because people don't care about policy positions when they cast their vote, they care about the message. Caring about the message is what makes elections about emotion rather than logic and knowledge.
