This is why Clinton lost.





Once a thriving place, employing people and exporting steel around the world, Johnstown Pennsylvania is now running on fumes.

This mirrors so many other places.





Saying Automation and Globalisation is progress doesn't cut it for the millions whose job prospects are working in MacDonalds. Because there's one sector who have become very wealthy from this.

Saying I'm all right and these guys have only themselves to blame. Is stupid. These are our customers and the loss of jobs paying enough for people to have enough disposable income to but what we sell. Is already cutting into our wages.

Pity the rich don't like sharing. If that money was in the US, it would be taxed and lower your debt burden. So no praise to them for putting you deeper into debt.

Who has seen their wages keep pace with GDP?



Clinton stood for all this. Say what you like about Trump, but it's certain she will not change anything she helped create.



She would of made sure that plunge continued.
