Trump's Appeal is to Losers

According to Nate Cohn's article in the New York Times: "Trump's Strongest Supporter: A Certain Kind of Democrat" fits a familiar pattern of a map of the tendency toward racism by region, according to measures like the prevalence of Google searches for racial slurs and racist jokes, or scores on implicit association tests. But it’s not racism that is the defining characteristic of Trump's appeal, it’s losers in life.  Losers tend to shortcut analyses of circumstance with easy answers based on distrust, of which racism is a particularly virulent form. That Ted Cruz another winner in life, seeks this support is the height of hypocrisy.
