Trump and the "Bubble"

This article from the LA Times ties in Charles Murray's "Coming Apart" with the election, which we have touched upon in class. It is interesting, because throughout Trump's entire campaign, experts were saying that he never had a chance. I remember talking about Trump in my AP Gov class in high school, before the primaries, and laughing at him. Yet, somehow he won the election. This article suggests that it is because of the "bubble" that Murray discusses that as a society, we did not view Trump's campaign as viable, even though it clearly was.
