What was the animating hatred behind Trump's first win, Tony?

It was a backlash against America's first black president... that won him enough independent bigots and electrified his base enough for him to win... against a white woman.

How will that coalition of bigots react to the prospect of a black woman president?

One with far less charisma than Obama...

Maybe I am wrong, God I hope so... but one lesson of the past 8 years I have learned is it doesn't pay to underestimate the stupid, even self destructive, bigotry of my fellow citizens...

If I am wrong, you may make fun of mercilessly if she wins... I will be laughing alongside you...
