Oliver Brooks, Former Hillary Clinton Campaign Fellow in Wyoming

So, how are you feeling?Frankly, I was disgusted with this country after the election. I feel like I did my small part in Wyoming, and next month Im going to Taiwan, where a lot of diplomatic tension is happening, but Im not going there because of that; Im just going to study Chinese. I grew up in Beijing and Shanghai and think I might want to work in Asia someday.

How did you end up in Wyoming?My dads family is from Laramie, and we have a ranch there, though he and my mom live in Europe now. I was one of two operatives in the state, and since it hasnt gone to the Democrats since Lyndon B. Johnson, we didnt waste our time there but tried to rally people in Wyoming to help the campaign in Colorado.

How was your Election Night?I had a feeling things werent going to go well just because of the Trump voters Id spoken to: people who seemed reasonable insofar as their lives were rather ordinary but believed there was a government conspiracy to poison us or that Hillary Clinton was a murderer. They kept saying how out of touch she was with the daily realities of their lives. And its true, Trump had those huge rallies, and even in my own experience, listening to conference calls where all the state leaders would get together, she never got on the phone to tell us what to do. It was very impersonal and very strange.
