CNN’s King: America Is ‘a Lot More Conservative’ Than Dems Think

Friday on CNN’s “Inside Politics,” while discussing President-elect Donald Trump’s victory, host John King said the results are a “tough” lesson that “America is a center-right country. It is a lot more conservative, especially the heartland, than Democrats think.”

King said, “Every election teaches us lessons reminding us of truths we perhaps overlooked or simply ignored ignored.”

He added, “This map to me is most important lesson of all and it’s a tough one for Democrats. Just take a minute and take a look. This is the presidential election county by county. If you look at all the little lines, more than 4,000 counties in the United States. See all that red? America is a center-right country. It is a lot more conservative, especially the heartland, than democrats think.”
