That demographic gave Hillary over 2 million more votes than Trump and marked the sixth time out of seven elections that the Dems won the popular vote. Unless we reduce legal immigration substantially and soon, the Dems will be the permanent majority party within a decade.
Trump got 8% of the black vote compared to Romney's 6%. Hillary received 89% of the black vote compared to Obama's 93%. Blacks made up 12% of the electorate in 2016 compared to 13% in 2012.
Trump got 57% of the white vote compared to Romney's 59%. Whites made up 72% of the electorate in 2012 and 71% in 2016. Hillary got 37% of the white vote compared to Obama's 39%.
No.. California gave Hillary those votes. That state — by itself — handed her a 4.2 million popular vote advantage. That’s wayyyyyy out of proportion with the rest of the country. So long as we have the electoral college — and we will for the foreseeable future — we’ll be fine. The example of California is one shining example of a justification for the EC.
