I did not predict this election correctly. Although I'm a pretty good data analyst, it is always important to remember the old saying: "garbage in garbage out."
The data I relied on, polls from hundreds of sources, were completely wrong. They failed to understand how deeply the white working class people feel left behind by an economy that has benefited those of us on the coasts.
My origin area, the so-called 'rust belt', rose up and elected Donald Trump. That that was a ridiculous decision doesn't matter any longer. He is president-elect.
I was wrong.
