Wow! Terrific number for Trump, if black vote is down.

How?

Whites with = -13 from 2012
Whites without = +10

And the white vote, is apparently down.

Well, the election is over. I'm shocked and surprised by the result but this is it. Congratulations to all the Trump supporters who worked hard for this and never lost faith. Although i dislike deeply many things that Trump said and made during this campaign, i hope and pray that he will serve the people of the United States proudly as all his predecessors.

For Hillary Clinton, she made history and she and her supporters should be proud. Although she lost, this will not be the last time a women will seek the White House.

The people of America has spoken clearly and now it's time to move on.
