Yet the rube-ish mooks continue to deny reality
The math Trump faced was stark. In Presidential elections, the American electorate can be divided into three large categories: Hispanic and black and other non-white voters; college-educated whites; and the white working class. Polls showed that Clinton was at or above Barack Obama’s 2012 margins among the first two categories of voters, while Trump was only matching or slightly exceeding Mitt Romney’s level of support among the white working class. This was a recipe for a historic landslide against Trump. As a recent report by Ruy Teixeira, John Halpin, and Rob Griffin of the liberal Center for American Progress noted, the percentage of minority voters will likely rise by two points in 2016, college-educated whites will increase by more than a point, but the white working-class share of the electorate is projected to decline by 3.4 percentage points. Trump was banking his entire campaign on the fastest-shrinking faction of voters.
