African-American voters are not nearly as enthusiastic about [Hillary] Clinton as they were about [Barack] Obama.

There's disgust with what people called a broken political system, and they're really angry at elites, whether it's the Republican establishment or particularly the media who they feel look down on them, tell them they're bigots.

Republicans like Trent Lott, saying [Donald] Trump would be more flexible [then Ted Cruz].

As one person said to me , Republicans know [Donald] Trump is a stain on their party.

In 2012, Hispanics were 10 percent of the electorate, underperforming their share of the voting-age population. Mitt Romney got 21 percent of their vote, and [Donald] Trump has been polling much lower than that.

The [Hillary] Clinton campaign's recent travel schedule shows how seriously it takes this problem. She and her surrogates have held rallies in cities like Philadelphia, Detroit and Cleveland, trying to boost turnout among African-Americans.

The enthusiasm for [Donald] Trump had gone up. The net result was it made people more supportive of him.
