are a smaller percentage of the electorate than in 2012, maybe by 1 or 2 points less. Just like the angry white men without college degrees are a smaller percentage than in 2008 and 2012. Plus, if Trump even sticks around for a while, he's going to piss even more people off, and the 70% of Hispanics and 75% of Asians that went for Obama may go even higher. (I'm hoping for Castro from TX as a potential VP candidate as well...)
