When people have been saying for a year that Hillary wins with white educated people, there is nothing "narrow" about a 4 point margin in Trump's favor. This was a total rejection of the class warfare game that the dems have been playing.

Pennsylvania is the only state that looks like it had possible flipped voters.
Which is funny, because not a single Democratic congressmen voted for NAFTA In that state.

No, the gap was 14 points in 2012 when Barack Obama won the election, so yes, you can call 4 points narrow.
Personally, the nonwhite vote does not matter to me. It's overflowing with illegitimacy. It counts, obviously, but I think we need to examine it, examine their presence, who brought them here and why they are so adamant about bringing more of them here, and go from there.
So 37% of the country and growing does not matter to you and you question their legitimacy because you think that someone brought them here for a nefarious purpose?
That is out of the context of THIS election. Hillary was supposed to win with the "smart" white people.
She didn't.
Hardly, it was literally the very last election. The Republican candidate lost a significant portion of college educated to another Republican candidate by a significant amount.

As of right now Donald Trump has 1,409,000 votes in Wisconsin, that is 2,000 more than Mitt Romney. Its more logical to believe that in that state, Democrats were staying home than switching to Republicans.

I believe that a lot of Hillary's minority turnout problems is because of Obama pushing so hard on gay marriage and transgendered bathrooms. A majority of non Whites still oppose gay marriage. There's more support for gay marriage among young White Republicans than Black or Hispanic Democrats.

Hillary never led with college educated men. Her margin was based on college educated white women and college educated minorities.
