Crooked Hillary!

Another thing that's been bothering me -

Why did the blue-collar working class think Trump, a billionaire real-estate mogul, spoke for them? How on earth would he have even a remote chance of understanding their struggles?
I could understand if both candidates didn't resonate with them. But to be so dead-set on thinking Trump understands them better? There's zero logic there.

Middle class is hurting hard, they wanted someone to take over that was outside of government, believed in State level power, and Hillary was the poster child of the opposite 'wants'. You want another reason, go look at the current media claiming the reason Trump won was because 50m+ people are racist/sexist/bigotted. Here's a really good video ont he whole thing in my opinion;

edit:

Also for clarity, I voted for Hillary because frankly when it came down to it she was more pro science than him, I believe true progression is based on science, not on belief systems. I stood firm on that.
