Tribalism Trumps Sisterhood

The Guardian (U.K.) reports a majority of white women voted for Trump. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link.

White women without a college degree supported Trump over Hillary Clinton by nearly a two to one margin. White women with a college degree were more evenly divided, with 45% supporting Trump, compared with 51% supporting Clinton.

Women of color, in contrast, voted overwhelmingly for Clinton: 94% of black women supported her, and 68% of Latino women. While exit polling data has flaws, the early responses underline a stark racial divide among American women: the majority of white women embraced Trump and his platform, while women of color rejected him.

While white women had the strongest support for Trump, 26% of Latino female voters also supported him.

Republicans know the Latino vote is much less monolithic (i.e., more winnable) than the African-American vote. This reflects Latinos' easier path to full acceptance in mainstream American society.
