I'm a bit surprised to see the percentages of white women and black men in favor of President Trump v/s the 2012 election results. Surely, it was the 2/3 white male vote that propelled him into office, but I thought that these numbers were noteworthy. According to this article: LINK

Men - Trump 53% to 41% (v/s 45% Pres. Obama in '12)
Women - Hillary 54% to 42% (v/s 44% Romney in '12)

White women - Trump 53% - 43% (College-educated was Clinton 51% - 41%)
White men - Trump 63% - 31% (Obama 35% in '12)

Clinton received 88% of the Black vote (93% Obama in '12), and here's the breakdown:

Black Women - 93% - 4% (this was the only significant vote to relatively stay the same from 2012)
Black Men - 80% - 13% (don't have the 2012 %, but I know this percentage was much higher in '12)

Latinos - Clinton 65% - 29% (71% - 27% for Obama)

It would be judgmental to exclusively say that the people (including women) didn't vote for Clinton because she's a woman, but with these percentages, you can't rule it out. So, was America just not ready for a female Commander-in-Chief?

Regardless, America has spoken. Donald Trump has been elected. May God be with him and us through this change, and let's hope and pray for the best in
and outside our country.

They needed black people to turn out like they did for Obama. They didn't.

They needed women to turn out for the woman candidate. And they didn't.

Its pretty insane how much people just despise Hilary Clinton. In hindsight, she might be the most universally loathed presidential nominee in modernity. Not even her own party likes her. Not even her own gender likes her.

No. Donald's message was addressed to the forgotten people of the Rust Belt, i.e., trade and jobs.

Hillary ignored them at her peril.

That had nothing to do with. Her lack of integrity relative to national security was definitely an issue.
