Another article on #Trump voters with regrets.

It's very tempting to use these articles as excuses for gloating and blame. But the constructive way to read them is to help us understand why #Democrats failed to persuade these voters before the election. We can't afford to throw away good data.

Bracket what you've heard about how #Trump pulled in so many voters last month. It's a complex problem and many factors contributed to the outcome.

Here's one factor I hadn't heard about: Rs did a better job than Ds in targeting undecided voters. This came in two parts. They did a better job identifying undecided voters, and they did a better job finding media channels that let them target just those voters.

From @leninology: "Simple measures of economic self-interest aren’t a very good predictor of voting behaviour…And if people voted with their wallets, why would many working-class Americans back a candidate committed to cutting taxes for the rich? The political effects of economic misery are more indirect than 'It’s the economy, stupid' implies."
