David Brewster: The Coming Partisan Breakup

Valuable survey of electoral blocs in this election by Michael Barone. A sample of the close-grained look: “Certain demographic groups resisted Trump’s appeal: Mormons, Dutch-Americans in northwest and central Iowa and western Michigan, German- and Scandinavian-Americans in Wisconsin and the Upper Midwest states. Other ethnic groups tilted toward Trump. A majority of Italian-Americans live within a hundred miles of New York City, and in that arc Trump won more than 50 percent of the votes, including 81 percent in heavily Italian-American Staten Island.”

Will voter discontent shatter the partisan deadlock in U.S. politics this November?
