You won't hear much about it in the mainstream media, which wants you to believe in the "whitelash," but the real story is the Demexit. Obama received 69.5 million votes in 2008 and 65.9 million in 2012. Hillary will probably end up with only 60 million. The voter exit from the Democratic Party is plain and clear. We can debate the reason for the exit, but we can't debate the fact of the exit. Where have these millions of Democrat-voting people gone? I don't think they turned Republican, because the red vote has been remarkably consistent the last three elections. In 2008, McCain got 59.9 million, in 2012 Romney got 60.9 million, and Trump will probably end up with about 60 million. The numbers are very clear. There was no more of a "whitelash" than in prior elections where an actual black man was voted president twice! Of course, there are vocal racists on the right. But I don't think the anti-black voices have much influence. What has had a real influence is the anti-Establishment voices, and those forces have decimated the will of many people who previously supported the Democratic Establishment. Trump, not being an established politician, was able to retain the anti-Establishment votes on the Right, whereas Clinton lost them on the Left.
