It seems quite strange to me that it was non-white voters who saved America
from electing John McCain in 2008 - while he seemed like he would make a good
President, who would look after America's national security from terrorism
well, when the stock market crashed, he displayed a profound disconnect with
the economic concerns of the average working American.

And it looks like, once again in 2016, they will be the reason why Hillary
Clinton will win, not Donald Trump.

No. There are not enough African Americans and Hispanics combined to
elect a president. The only distinct group in America that can elect a
president is women. Part of the reason that regressive white males are
angry is that they know they are irrelevant. As time goes on they
become less and less relevant, more and more angry, and, in a feedback
loop, less and less relevant. They don't know that there is a lower
limit and they have already reached it--utter irrelevance, at least in
the presidential election. The election of a half-African man* with an
Islamic name just seven years after 9/11, and his re-election four
years later, only underscores the futility of being an angry old white
guy.

*Quoting others as to race, because I do not recognize racial
divisions, only species. Except in dogs, where I recognize different
breeds within the a single species.

Trump has added a man to his ticket who has a broad anti-human-rights
agenda. It is women and African Americans and Hispanics who will defeat
Trump. I will do my part for justice by voting for Mrs. Clinton as
well, though my vote matters less. The old "what if everyone felt their
vote didn't matter" doesn't apply because everyone doesn't think that
and in Realpolitik Trump has no chance of winning my state, Maryland.
And, as I said, I will vote, as a matter of principal and because there
is more than the presidency at stake in this election.
