#3 She lost because she is an awful person with nothing to offer.

This is the politically correct way to express my beliefs. I would have used a few well placed 4 letter words...

#5 Z-man: Kelly Ayotte is staggering around Manchester New Hampshire with her panties on her head, asking people if they know where she lives. She went all in on rejecting Trump and now she is out of a job. The politicians that listened to their party leaders and distanced themselves from Trump were all punished at the polls.

Ayotte won more votes than Trump, as did most GOP members of Congress. Fort Bend, TX, flipped from GOP in 2012 to Democrat in 2016. Trump won in 2016 with the right message for the Rust Belt states. Uncle Sam as a super-sized Switzerland via perhaps the abrogation of existing defense treaties and an end to new free trade pacts. Equally, Hillary lost the Rust Belt states despite trying to appeal to the black vote by showing up with the parents of dead thugs and backing BLM. She showed, mainly, that only Obama has the charisma / pigmentation to get an out-sized black voter turnout.

#6 The bankruptcy of Peabody Energy, the biggest coal company in the US, may have been the last straw for some coal states. Trump won by over 40 points in WV, a state Carter won in 1980, and Reagan won by a few points in 84. Romney had a 27 point margin. There's also the emergence of white identity politics in certain regions in response to the perceived rise of the same among other ethnic/racial groups, fanned on by Democratic strategists looking to lock up vote blocs in opposition to the GOP. The Democratic party is identified as the black (or at least anti-white) party in much of the South, which is why they tend to be GOP-dominated in spite of some of the largest (in % terms) black minorities in the nation. Trump's Rust Belt victories might simply be the beginnings of a similar movement towards white bloc voting for the GOP in that region. If that occurs, the Democrats might be in trouble. And that's not even counting the odds of potential contagion in the direction of lily-white New England and the rest of the mid-Atlantic states.

#9 You're dead on ZF the rise of the Super-Minority.

A GOP candidate who promises to dismantle racial quotas might finally get the 70% of the white vote needed for routine electoral vote landslides.

#10 A GOP candidate who promises to dismantle racial quotas might finally get the 70% of the white vote needed for routine electoral vote landslides.

Congress would have to end funding for, and to repeal the totality of civil rights laws in this country. That is the sinew of the power of the left in 2016.
