I just can ' t trust a guy named Fedora . <| sep |> And if you look at the exit polls , the working class didn ' t abandon the Democratic Party either . Those with under $ 30 k income voted for Clinton by 62 % in Michigan , 52 % in Wisconsin , and 56 % in Pennsylvania . Nationally , those earning 50 k or less voted for Clinton by 5341 %. In fact , Hillary Clinton actually proposed a ton of policies aimed at helping working class Americans , both in the Rust Belt and elsewhere . It is the media that doesn ' t care for economic policy or any kind of policy , really , and virtually never covered her policy speeches . They practically only talks about EMAILS ! and ignores her when she isn ' t slamming Trump . So it ' s pretty rich for them to turn around and complain about lack of attention to the economy .
