County level results Report: Clinton Won Richest Counties – 64 Percent of US GDP Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election, but won the balloting in regions that generate nearly two-thirds of the American economy, a new analysis shows. According to the Brookings Institution analysis, the less-than-500 counties Clinton won nationwide combined to generate 64percent of America's economic activity in 2015, the Washington Post reported. The more-than-2,600 counties President-elect Donald Trump won combined to generate 36 percent of the country'seconomic activity last year. With the exceptions of the Phoenix, Ariz., and Fort Worth, Texas, areas, and a large part of Long Island, N.Y., Clinton won every large-sized economic county in the country, the researchers found. "This appears to be unprecedented, in the era of modern economic statistics, for a losing presidential candidate," the Post reported. The last candidate to win the popular vote but lose the electoral college, Democrat Al Gore in 2000, won counties that generated about 54 percent of the country's gross domestic product, the Brookings researcherscalculated. The Brookings analysis found counties with higher GDP per capita were more likely to vote for Clinton over Trump, as were counties with higher population density
Most Americans aren't part of it.Most Americans voted against him and most Americans disapprove of him.
So the rich support the Democrats - yeah we know. That's why hard-working, average income citizens don't support Democrats.

And the Rich own what percentage of GDP in this country? Please look it up? Your article is asserting that Clinton won counties representing 64% of the GDP. Nearly all the wealth is held by the top 1% (as noted by Democrats many times). And yes... the Middle Class grows the economy while the Rich in many ways are a stagnant drain on the economy. This is why such a broad-section of the hard-working middle class in our country do not support Democrats... .and the wealthy in small enclaves at the coasts support the Democrats -- nothing more than crony capitalism.
