So mainstream white Americans are so sick of Washington or "government" or Hillary Clinton and the "scandals" associated with her years in politics that they have to get a racist, hate mongering, genital grabbing 1%er to save them from the horrors of nationalized healthcare and the educated non-whites and  "elites" they so rabidly hate. 
It is what an 81-year-old  Black lady from Eugene said to me it was--jealousy. Whether it's the frothing at the mouth white American underclass or the now precarious white middle class--they're most disturbed at seeing educated non-whites do well for themselves. They'd rather give power to those who share their skin-color but are their actual enemies than side with those whose skin color and cultural references are different from their own. Mr. Hale is partially correct. Broad coalitions of diverse, educated people are weaker than single-minded racialists who are jealous of their prerogatives and who coalesce around hatred. Hatred is for simpletons.
