Thank you for your thoughtful response.

> The people most in need of good policy, at the price of an acceptable nonchalance regarding a president's mere presentability - minorities - made their voices heard by voting for Trump. Every single minority demographic voted in higher numbers for Trump this election over last. The only demographic to vote for him less? White men. And that made the difference.

Can you share your source for this? (this is not a challenge, I'm genuinely interested in digging deeper into the data myself)
