When Sopel was interviewing old Floridians in retirement communities, he recounted how he constantly came across very embarrassed Republicans who were utterly dismayed by the coarsening of discourse and polarization of debate.
Obviously we don't know how those people voted, and you'll never know how many held their noses.
But that is the challenge with a two horse race, you get put on one side or the other.
I'd also be interested to see some numbers behind the Latino vote. I've seen some stats clearly showing the importance of the black vote, but I thought the Latino vote was much more divided. Now we're out the other side, it's worth pointing out that for all the Dreamers PR rhetoric from Obama he had a pretty ruthless deportation policy.
Correlation is not causation.
Lots of Kati's family are Republican voters and voted for Trump this time, and 4 years ago. They don't like the man nor do they agree with everything he says but they are pro-life single issue voters and that is the way of it. I thin they see his racism as being an ugly stain to have to bear to get what they want.
