Race and xenophobia is a factor, but that wouldn't have been enough by itself. People were fed up with establishment Democrats.

Can that be true? Obama has positive favourables and Republicans control the House and Senate

I don't think most voters know who controls Congress. And Hillary's favorables are bad. Sure, Trump's are similar, but one of them had to win.

There was some element of racism, but that's not why he won.

Sure, an F you to the establishment, i.e. the first black president.

Yes, and you forgot to mention the first black president's name was Clinton.

Haha, but seriously is the argument that FL, PA, OH, WI, IA, and probably MI voted twice for a black but now won't vote for a certain ticket with two whites because of racism?

If you really want to blame NAFTA for the woes in these communities, NAFTA was a Republican project, not a Democratic one. Bill Clinton just happened to be there when it came time to sign on the dotted line.

Well, that one takes the cake. A Democratic House, Democratic Senate, and Democratic President passed NAFTA, but it's Republican? LOL!!!!!! Own that sh**t, 3rd way.
