Yes, I have heard this expressed. First time here, however. Inherent racism. I wonder just how much of a role this played? I saw the returns at my local rural precinct as the machine read out the totals, and was shocked. The margin was YUGE. I had seen few signs in yards and along the highways. I have had a lot of people tell me, if Bernie had been on the ticket, they would have voted for him. There is a visceral hatred for Hillary. Well, it is what it is. We now have to contend for the next 4 years with the Cowardly Lying Orange Cokehead Caligula. Can I call it that?
