The South in primary season.

[Samof94]

Southern Republican whites are not dramatically different than Midwestern Republican whites or even many Northeastern Republican whites. Trump did better in NH than in SC and better in MA than in FL in 2016. He did about as well in AR and in VT on the same day.

NH and SC both voted for McCain in 2008.

That is false :




Also Trump lost under 30 whites in Kentucky while he won 60% of them in Georgia so that is not true at all

So that isnt a true statement

I don't totally agree with RI's description, but this is a stunningly misdirected response. He's talking about white Republicans - specifically, those engaged enough to be voting in primaries. He's not talking about every white voter.

Mississippi whites are overwhelmingly GOP.

Mississippi is definitely the most racially polarized state in the union. Funnily enough that might actually make it D in the future as the state edges nearer to being plurality or even majority black
