Looks good, thank you for the recommendation
One of the things I saw her alluding to in her interview is that a lot of those people are gravitating to Trump in sort of protest against losing the old school democrats. There’s really no representation now for socially conservative fiscally “liberal” anymore. Not that Trump seems to be either but I think the Trump mythology is.

I think fundamentally what your seeing is what happens when people feel like they have no representation.
