“Hillary has won white Democrats in all primary elections but two. She won the white Democrat vote in Wisconsin. Therefore, white Democrats hav remained faithful [to Clinton]. When you say that she lost “every demographic category, including whites with only high-school diplomas and whites earning less than $50,000 a year”–you may not realize that she lost those groups not by white Democrats, but by white independents and Republicans, who comprised over 35% of the voters.
