3.? Were you surprised by the apparent outcome of the presidential election?- remembering that the actual election doesn't occur?until the electoral college votes?

Darrell answered.

Not really. I felt?it could go either way, but I was little surprised by size of the gap favoring the Republicans.

?

Just about all the wide gap shows, I'm guessing, is that people who live in and are dependent on the close control of the governments of large cities are not yet as numerous as the rest of us.? Have a look at your local maps showing where the red and blue votes came from.? Ohio, my state, has no mega cities, but its four largish cities are all blue and all the rest of the state is red.? It's dramatic.? It's the same with the contiguous forty states: ?blue in the tightly packed coastal regions and red everywhere else.

People who live in tightly-packed agglomerations are, I think, much more prone to groupthink than the rest of us.? Just to survive, city people need in a thousand ways to all behave in exactly the same way, and behaving leads directly to thinking.? Cities breed mono-minds.? Mono-minds vote for the machine.
