What they can see is that these voters were hiding in ordinary sight — disregarded by both parties, the media, and the politics experts all at once, ready to unite in to the motion that spawned the best upset in recent electoral background. Deeply rooted in the tradition of the Midwestern swing areas, Zito and Brad Todd reframe the debate from the ‘Trump voter’ to answer fully the question: What next?
