people are suffering every day. they wanted something different. i think in terms of the bernie or bust notion, some folks meant that. they actually meant that. i want to throw one other thing out here. let me play for you a comment by a reporter for reports on rural america for progressive farmer. he had a provocative response on what happened post election. listen to this one piece of analysis, david. every time you heard about these polls, you heard that educated white voters were going for clinton white people without college degrees or had no college supported trump. i think they took some of these things that were said over and over throughout the last four or five months of the campaign, also very personally themselves, that rural america is not uneducated, even though maybe there are fewer people with college degrees than there might be in the metropolitan areas. that stung me.
what is happening to america? take our country back. it leaves me wondering where i ve been living and with whom i m living. this is not my america. what he stands for is not the america i know and love. it seems like we re destined to be split screen america. how does he try to put this back together? we still are america though. we re still a country that is a country of social mobility. we re still a country of immigrants. we re still a country with common ancestors. reviving the civics of america and the idea that we re going to be united at least not right now but some common future and talking in that hopeful way that martin luther king did, abraham lincoln did senator turner and i agree on nothing, but i admire her greatly. we are browns fans and we know how to pray and lose, and i
