The Hate and Fear candidate

It seems The Donald's strategy for this election (assuming the delegates at the convention don't stage a coup) is to woo the white vote at all costs and dismiss the rest of the electorate.  This certainly would have worked anytime in the 20th century, but even with Hillary's baggage, it seems doomed in 2016.  The latest gem from the Trump campaign had the candidate making up a call for a moment of silence for the Dallas cop killer.  Not even his campaign manager could come up with a shred of evidence that anyone said that.  For the 30% of white America willing to go down that road, Trump is their savior.  He is the man willing to call out the supposed privileges enjoyed by blacks, Hispanics, Asians women and virtually anyone who isn't a middle age or elderly white male.  As I have said all along, there aren't enough cranky old white men and women to elect a national candidate in the 21st century in the US.  All Trump's rhetoric and tactics will accomplish is to divide the country irretrievably into us and them.  For his constituency, the us is a dwindling number which will continue its resentful journey to irrelevance.  For progressive white voters and the majority of people of color it will be the dawn of a new era.  In the meantime, the next several months will be an excruciating hate fest.  Buckle up.
