Hillary couldn’t figure out a way to explain her policies. In fact, other than “more of the same”, I couldn’t figure out if she had any.
Trump promised a lot, much of which resonated with the voters.
Given the number of counties which voted twice for Obama and switched to Trump, I’m not seeing where racism had anything to do with this election, not solely because only whites were running.
