Verily tingling with anticipation.

In related news, Cornell Belcher details how race and racism still had a part to play in the 2016 election:

A question a lot of people ask around the question of the role race and racism played in Trumpâ(TM)s election is, âoeHow can you say Americans are concerned with race when they elected Obama?â I know the long answer is in the data presented in your book, but whatâ(TM)s the simple response to that?

They didnâ(TM)t. Thatâ(TM)s the thing here. The majority of whites did not elect Obama, and thatâ(TM)s the wolf at the door. The vast majority of whites did not support President Obama and President Obama won back-to-back majorities, and that caused the realization of their power waning. Mitt Romney ran up a higher score among white voters than Ronald Reagan, when Reagan had a landslide in 1984.

Conservatives may want to take note of this, however:
 

In battleground states, particularly more diverse states, the percentage of white people voting Democrat decreases significantly as that population gets more diverse. So diversity is having an opposite impact that is harmful to Democrats.

On investigating whether Obama was legally entitled to be prez, on the one hand it's Hillary's famous "what difference does it make at this point" (only in this case it applies, since he's almost done). On the other hand, it's not really political now, because it doesn't stop his agenda.

On "diversity"* correlating with Whites voting Dem less, why do you suppose that is?

*Like simply differing colors of skin or sex organs makes for very different people. Like your "diversity" in your news staffs and academi
