Oh JohnnyJohnnyJohnny,
Maybe the “white” voters chose/choose NOT to vote for a candidate leaning far-left.
Maybe they feel the same about Hillary’s socialist leanings and just pick her over him for some other reason.
And, how about all those “open” states (in which Republicans could vote in Democratic primaries…and vice versa) with people just trying to “mix it up” (some applied Operation Chaos).
Please John.
Maybe the world DOESN’T revolve around you/your profound-yearning retorts.
Please give it a rest.

But this is the point.
There was “some other reason” they voted for Hillary.
The question is “What reason?”
The author says that it is racism to some degree and gives the best evidence he can.
It’s one thing to label the South reflexively (which is unfair), but some people seem willfully blind here. Everywhere in the country has its own unique problems–some to more degrees than others. And in the absence of evidence otherwise, he really made a stronger case.
You just have to deal with it.

Stick to the article. It is not about “Operation Chaos”, which if you listen to Rush Limbaugh, was not operative in every state.

“Please, John” is not good evidence I am afraid.
