2/ Although Trump does have a history of racism. The fact is his rhetoric brought these racist hate groups out of the woodwork for the first time in decades, and they enthusiastically endorsed him. Now why would that be?

Furthermore, Steve Bannon, CEO of the Trump campaign and rumored to be Trump's pick for Chief of Staff, is a white supremacist and guru of the alt right, a white supremacist/anti-Semitic movement. So no, there was no confusion on that point that caused Hillary's loss. That's absurd.

We will have to disagree about the word "coalition." It is certainly legitimate to describe the alliances of convenience that develop to win elections.
