An hour and half west of Las Vegas, I visited the town of Pahrump in rural and conservative Nye County. Many of the Trump supporters I talked to were of the opinion that Congress would stop him from fulfilling his campaign promises if he won.

There was a feeling that nothing comes for free and many wondered how the government would make up for the lost tax revenue on their tips.
I would go door-to-door with canvassers, and ask how people were feeling about the election. Before they would answer, I would observe eye rolls, shaking heads, sighs and some other non- verbal ways for them to express how tired they are.
