I agree with this comment almost entirely.  Yet it still does not explain why 8% of the black vote went to the unspeakable Trump. My guess is that like most voters who voted for "improbable things" and against their most probable candidate, Trump held out the promise of more interest and cap gains on $avings and equitie$. The same may apply to the approximately 40% of women who voted for the bizarre orange man, despite his gross and verifiable sexist comments. Money Trumped everything in some voting booths. Just breaking the vote down into colour and sex does not go nearly far enough. Break it down into money.
