This is not your normal election cycle and Trump is not your typical politician.....he has broken every establishment rule and all the pundits have been wrong on Trump.
You have 46% of the electorate who are majority white that stayed home in 2012, that's over 100 million votes that stayed home.......don't forget about them,, the minority over-played their hand in 2012 with the help of the media snubbing White America and that their votes are more important than others and they have something to say in 2016.
there will be a lot of surprises in 2016.
You do realize that the total share of non-Hispanic white voters has been falling unabated since 1992, I assume?
Every election for the past 24 years there have progressively been fewer of them to turn out. All of that loss is coming out on non-college, n/h whites (losing 3% of total votes cast on average every 4 year Presidential cycle).
Also, the decline in voters was in states that weren't contestable. In the states where the bulk of television ad $ were spent, I believe turnout actually increased over 2008. States I'm thinking of were Colorado, Florida, Ohio, Nevada and Virginia, which received about 75% of total television investment by both campaigns.
Not sure how anyone is snubbing white America, either.

Why should he denounce the KKK? He's not obligated to do that. Maybe he's got nothing against the KKK or David Duke. What would his denunciation do anyway and what difference does it make?
He has every right to appeal to the sympathizers of white extremist groups or to the groups themselves.
The orange doesn't fall far from the tree. Trump's dad was a protestant Klansman and arrested at a Klan rally brawling with the mainly Catholic/Irish police.
On Memorial Day 1927, brawls erupted in New York led by sympathizers of the Italian fascist movement and the Ku Klux Klan. In the fascist brawl, which took place in the Bronx, two Italian men were killed by anti-fascists. In Queens, 1,000 white-robed Klansmen marched through the Jamaica neighborhood, eventually spurring an all-out brawl in which seven men were arrested.... all of whom were represented by the same lawyers.
One of those arrested was Fred Trump of 175-24 Devonshire Rd. in Jamaica.

So you think racism is inherited? Whom is Trump supposedly racist against? My wife's father was an alcoholic yet she never touches the stuff simply for that reason. Kids can be influenced by their parents or they can learn not to be like them.
People often see what it is they want to see. Folks may not like him and that's their choice but spinning him into a racist, male chauvinist, isn't really fair. Just because Hilary is using that doesn't mean you have too. It's all just political bs. They've just dug the pit and get into the fight. Both side are just people, trying to win a race. That's all it is. No monsters I promise.
Racist is the C word. People are just letting it fly right and left. You don't have to actually be one.
