Clinton lost because her support among white voters was weak, not because of minority voters.
- prawn 10y agoI know it's being pedantic, but is it fairer to say that Trump's support amongst white voters was strong?
- throw_away_777 10y agoI don't really see the difference, but it should be noted that given Clinton's minority support there weren't many minorities supporting third party candidates, and there was a significant third party candidate vote this year. In the primaries Clinton actually lost the white vote to Sanders, despite winning the minority vote 3 to 1. It also isn't as if Trump is popular, he is one of the most disliked politicians ever to get elected. So I think it is more correct to say Clinton had weak support from white voters.
