I imagine the only way we can generate stats on voting by any grouping is by exit polling or looking at concentrations of those groupings. I have no way of identifying "false" stats because I have no direct data. But I believe it is reasonable to believe that a lot of blacks and latinos voted for Trump, more than was for Romney or McCain. My hunch would be 10-15%, and 25-30%, respectively, for those groups, because I sense from my own contacts those rates in those groups. But my "sense" is anecdotal in character and reflects my own little slice of life. Articulate black conservatives like David(?) Webb who has a late night gig on XM125, and Dr. Ben Carson actually warm the cockles of my heart.
I spend some time in the truck stops because I drive a lot and find those places friendly and safe places to take a break. Truckers watching the TV in the lounge come in all kinds, but they are all concerned with the prospect of immigrants taking their rigs for less pay.
Trump makes sense to them because he promises to stabilize their status quo.
I've heard Bannon's successor Alex Marlow several times but I've never listened to Bannon on air before he went over to join Trump. The "news" they serve is definitely contrarian to the mainstream, and provocative to "The Way Things Are". They claim to have affiliates on the ground gathering news in many places, like real news organizations and journalists used to do business, and lots of times their facts prove out pretty good.
I confess to God practically every day the fool that I am, and I could flesh out the notion that I'm a nitwit with thousands of anecdotes. Takes one to know one, I guess. I'm old enough to be somewhat comfortable with all that, and I remember being a young Turk of a kind who believed I knew everything everyone should know, and was willing to tell them so. But that gig has definitely lost it's charm. Maybe I've had a relapse here on JazzFanz, but I think my comments are more intended to warn the uninitiated of the path they seem to be starting out on.
