Maddow: Trump Figured out a Way to Spike the White Vote by Awakening ‘Racial Anxiety’ in Whites

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 

MADDOW: "You know on the Hispanic, number two, it’s fascinating, because if Donald Trump holds he is doing better than Mitt Romney did with Latinos, still doing worse than John McCain did, the way he is making up for it is by spiking the white vote. I talked about it at the beginning of the night, Chris you said you disagreed with me. But I feel like a lot of the really ragged edge of what Donald Trump did was to change the behavior of white votes. To tap into the enthusiasm, and that would obliterate what he may get from people of color. We have Clinton under-performing Barack Obama with African-Americans, although that was expected. What we got, though, the biggest number and the biggest thing that explains how trump could maybe win the presidency with only 29% of the Latino vote is that he has spiked white vote. He figured out a way to do that. And that has always been the far right’s dream that you could figure out a way to do it without minorities, in fact on the backs of minorities by threatening minorities that make a lot of people uncomfortable but that does a waken something that is racial anxiety among whites. And that is how you win. That has been a dream on the far right. The end culture dream of white turnouts."
