A lot of them seem to be very uncomfortable with a woman or a black talking to them about equality.

Looking at the election returns here in CA, where Clinton is up to 6.9 million, I wonder if she will reach Obama’s 2012 numbers, which were about 900k more. There are still 3 million unprocessed votes, split roughly between mailed ballots and provisional ballots. She very well may surpass Obama’s 2012 numbers, but not his 2008 numbers.

It’s hard to tell why Clinton did relatively poorly back in the Obama states of WI, MI, and PA, the loss of which secured Trump’s win.

I propose that most voters are not that self-aware of why they choose what they do.

The outrage machine certainly hurt, but the outrage machine raged against Obama and he still carried those states.
