    More minorites and less whites voted for Trump than for Romney in 2012

    (CNN)-Hillary Clinton just couldn't hold onto the Obama coalition. And that proved to be a large part of her undoing. African-American, Latino and younger voters failed to show up at the polls in sufficient numbers Tuesday to propel Clinton into the White House.

    Clinton conceded the race after 2 a.m. ET. Before polls closed her campaign had been confident of victory. In the end, however, she lost even some states thought to be safely in her column, like Wisconsin. She trailed in others, like Pennsylvania and Michigan.

    While she won the key demographic groups her campaign targeted, she underperformed President Obama across the board, even among women, according to exit poll data.

    A slightly larger share of black and Latino voters cast ballots for Trump than supported Mitt Romney in 2012...

    ...Some 88% of African-American voters supported Clinton, versus 8% for Donald Trump, as of very early Wednesday morning. While that's a large margin, it's not as big as Obama's victory over Mitt Romney in 2012. Obama locked up 93% of the black vote to Romney's 7%...

    ...Only 65% of Latinos backed her, while 29% cast their votes for Trump. In 2012, Obama won 71% of the Hispanic vote and Romney secured 27%...

    ...When it came to women voters, Clinton won 54% compared to Trump's 42%. Even though 70% of voters said that Trump's treatment of women bothered them, they still didn't flock to the woman who could have broken the glass ceiling. Obama won 55% of the women's vote in 2012.

    I read today that Hillary is blaming James Comey now for losing the election.

    Then I saw another interview with two commentators being interviewed and the white female liberal Democrat was blaming Donald Trump for the riots, and the black male Conservative was blaming Soros.

    In the words of Charlton Heston in "Planet of the Apes"..."It's a mad house!" lol
