Clinton suffered her biggest losses in the places where Obama was strongest among white voters. It's not a simple racism story
I'm not saying it's irrelevant, but this election was decided by people who voted for Obama in 2012, and should figure into the analysis

@Nate_Cohn this only works if the candidate they chose wasn't openly racist. He was, so they are part of the problem. -
@DebraJenson@Nate_Cohn all Republicans since Lincoln have been openly racist. -
@spencerthayer@DebraJenson I hope there's still time for you to drop the lame "Trump is a racist!" narrative. -
@Brooklinenativ2@spencerthayer nope. That narrative stays as long as he speaks and acts as a racist -
@DebraJenson@Brooklinenativ2@spencerthayer Failure to explore alternatives will blind you. -
@markus_2oo@DebraJenson@Brooklinenativ2 he is a racist. Period. -
@cbcollins26@spencerthayer@markus_2oo@Brooklinenativ2 other than his history of racism in biz and the countless racist things he's said? - 5 more replies

@Nate_Cohn How much of it is people voted for him because they thought she was going to win anyways. Just so they could.https://twitter.com/malexjohnson/status/796242753541677056 …

@Nate_Cohn NO. IT WASN'T. IT WAS DECIDED BY VOTERS LIKE ME. 1ST TIME INDEPENDENT VOTERS WHO'D HAD ENOUGH & WERE MOTIVATED TO CREATE CHANGE -
@Nate_Cohn@lukeakehurst 40 year of Neo-liberalism; a complicit media and a DNC not fit for purpose has given the US a Trump Presidency. -
@Nate_Cohn it is definitely not 100% racism. It is not 100% anything -
@Nate_Cohn OK, fine, but the end result is that the U.S. has elected a racist. End game's the same. -
@Nate_Cohn did they switch or stay home? I barely know any Trump supporters, let alone Obama supporters who voted for Trump
