As if Nutmeggers were not able to forgive crooked mayors and governors, the equivalent of a major Connecticut city population voted for tRump. (5th District strongest)

Their demographics are no different than others, as one nutmegger noted the signs passing the local gun store and the music store where folks were loading up their new drum kit. Thank jeebus there is an ordinance that forbids these signs one day after election day. Perhaps more troubling are the 25,000 who voted for thrusTED.

But trying to convince GOP voters that public policy is really more important than celebrity apprenticeship will require more work and GOTV to offset. That as many voted for Trump as for Clinton does signal a closer general election at least in Connecticut.

Bernie Sanders last night:

That is why this campaign is going to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia with as many delegates as possible to fight for a progressive party platform that calls for

• a $ 15 an hour minimum wage,
• an end to our disastrous trade policies,
• a Medicare-for-all health care system,
• breaking up Wall Street financial institutions,
• ending fracking in our country,
• making public colleges and universities tuition free and
• passing a carbon tax so we can effectively address the planetary crisis of climate change.
