There was tremendous animus to President [Barack] Obama. Many of people said he was un-American, not a Christian and worse.

The Republican Party, right now, is a conservative populist party.

White voters were 72 percent of the electorate in 2012, and their share of the population has shrunk a couple points since then. [Donald] Trump has had trouble winning certain segments of the white vote, such as suburban women and college-educated voters.

Republican candidates have won whites with college degrees in every presidential election since polling began.
