Krugman guesses that Trump’s primary appeal is to Tea Party racists. Well duh.

Yeah, but more to the point is his analysis of who the Tea Party are - they’re NOT white working class people who are economically disadvantaged. They’re the Fox News audience - middle and upper middle class white folks, more educated than the average, more affluent than average, and more racist than average. They’ve had their share of the pie and want to make sure it doesn’t get divided any differently, particularly not so much of it going to Those People.
