|  This forum provides an occasion to assess the surprising outcome of the 2016 elections, particularly the triumph of Donald Trump.  To what degree is the election outcome attributable to an anxious and enraged white working class that has come to feel by turns neglected, misunderstood and insulted by mainstream and progressive organizations and pundits?  Is a progressive politics built on the Obama coalition  ̶  dependent as it is on demographic changes presumed to be advantageous, rather than on birthing a multi-racial working-class movement   ̶  either strategically  or politically defensible? What explains 29 percent Latino for Trump?  Has the AFL-CIO become a political non-entity?  A group of prominent journalists will discuss what the primaries and the general election tell us about the current political landscape, especially with regard to racial, gender and class voting patterns.
