“Really horrible” is the term Democratic leader applies to Trump win
The majority spoke Tuesday, but the chairwoman of Oconee Democrats calls Republican Donald Trump’s win “really horrible.” Paulette Keffas-Chassin says the county party is “completely shocked and disappointed.” Yet Keffas-Chassin concedes the majority has spoken and her party, once a dominant political machine in South Carolina, is now the minority party. On behalf of Democrats, Keffas-Chassin promises Democrats will try to reach out to Republicans where the parties share common goals. But she cautioned Democrats won’t abandon their principles, which include the most vulnerable Americans.
