I think there's an undercurrent of racism to Trump's support. The vids I've seen, with his supporters shouting "fucking niggers", "go home spics", and so on, tell me that even if Trump isn't intending that to be his message, that is exactly what is getting across to many of the people who support him. The "wall", the suggestion that all Muslim immigration be halted (a position he later backtracked) -- those were positions calculated to appeal to racist elements without being explicit, if you ask me.
Too clever by half, no? Now he has to answer for those words -- and has to hope they haven't alienated a majority of the voting public.
I will savor his defeat, knowing that the remaining racists in America will recognize it for what it is: their death-knell.
