Sorry, Liberals. Bigotry Didn’t Elect Donald Trump. - The New York Times

'Trump won the presidency by appealing to the bigotry of his supporters. '

'Trump won because of his worst comments about women and minorities rather than despite them. '

'Clinton won re-election in 1996 despite a majority, including about a third of liberal voters, saying he was not honest. '

'Trump knows “is how to get angry white men to vote for him.”This stereotyping of Trump voters is not only illiberal, it falsely presumes Mr. '

'Trump won nearly one in four voters who wanted the next president to follow more liberal policies. '

That's a lie. Bigotry definitely helped Trump get elected: the left's bigotry towards working class Americans. Hillary's deplorables statement is the prime example of that. On the other hand, I can partially agree with the article in that the offensive things the Trump said (like the whole pussy-grabbing incident) only hurt him because it made the MSM give him tons of negative coverage.

There's an old Hollywood saying. Even bad publicity is good.
