So why did one lose and the other win? Why did the voters vote for someone they felt was lesser qualified with economy even when economy was the top priority?

Got sweet surprise and interruption from sleep. Electric power is back after 51 hours and looking forward to a new dawn tomorrow.

Crossed 48 hrs and counting to get the electric power back. Grateful to have hot and cold running water and cooking gas. Goldilocks temps 40s and 50s not too cold to live without heating and not too warm to have the refrigerator food spoil immediately. No major damages but so many others in NJ and NYC not so fortunate.
