You’re excluding the obvious fact, a fact that non-racist Republicans don’t like, that when racists vote, they’re going to vote Republican 99% of the time. The Republican Party has had a covert appeal to racists for at least 25 years now, if not since 1964. I don’t buy that all these racists that wouldn’t have voted otherwise came out of the woodwork to support Trump.

Obviously, another reason Hillary lost was because more electoral votes went to Donald Trump. Another reason she lost is because Bernie Sanders ran against her in the primary. The main reason she lost is because she ran a terrible campaign and was an unlikeable candidate. The blame is on her. If you trip on your shoe laces because you forgot to tie them and happen to fall in a puddle of water, I see little reason to constantly remind everyone that the reason you’re wet is in part because you didn’t tie your laces and fell, and also because there was a puddle in front of you and there was nothing to grab on to and no one caught you before you fell etc. etc… Bad analogy, but it’s all I’ve got.
