Trump's approval rating is climbing.

And even then, is the theory that Racists came out to vote against Hillary, but were fine with Obama?

The racists didn't come out to vote against Hillary. They came out to vote for the guy that was going to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.

That's kind of my point. For most that vote regularly, They're not voting for a candidate, they're voting against one. We don't like either of them so we vote for the one we hate less in order to try to keep the one we hate more from getting into office.

But that's not the case here. Vast portions of the uneducated among the GOP voters voted for Trump because they absolutely love him. Don't get me wrong, they hate Hillary and were voting for the GOP no matter who ran, but they absolutely love Trump. And all those who typically wouldn't vote at all that came out and voted for him, again did so because they love him. He's going to build a wall, he's going to bring back jobs, he's going force everyone to say merry christmas. They voted for those things, not against Hillary. And even if he does none of those things and even does the opposite on a few, they will still vote for him next time.

I think everyone seems to be assuming that he's going to be so horrible that tons of those who voted for him last time, won't vote for him next time. That's not going to happen. He's going to retain all those votes. And this time around he's going to be the incumbent with nothing to lose so you be sure he's going to step up the rhetoric. Building the wall? Nuking the middle east? Banning Muslims? Those will all seem down right sane compared to the promises he'll make next time. And the stupid and the hateful will suck it up again just like they did last time.

About the only thing that's going to keep him out of the White House for a second term is a heart attack or a bullet. If he's still breathing when the time comes, he's going to be in.
