3. media missed that part of the republican attack on immigrants - to sell voter ID laws

the whole immigration issue was a mess because while establishment republicans want the cheap labor, rove started using rw radio to howl about dems helping 'illegal immigrants' vote - since 2000 - probably to help the base excuse the florida theft. they just kept going with it and ramping it up (into millions, like in the last election cycle) and if dems had been monitoring radio it would have been obvious. trump used it like that and dems missed the whole connection, still miss the main story and don't even poll for the biggest correlation - trump's base are fucking dittoheads more than anything else
