What's dangerous for liberal elitists such as Mr. Masciotra is they fail to realize that a very large segment of American voters empathize, not sympathize, with Trump backers.

Alanna Hardy, a black student who lives in a on campus blacks-only on-campus dorm called the dorm an "oasis" where she could recover from the pain of having to be near whites and Asians while walking to class.
