2016: Last stand of the angry, old, white American voter?

Late July, and mid-summer is in full swing here in California.  It is hot and dry in the American West.  Except where it is hot and muggy.  It's not supposed to be muggy out here; that belongs in the Midwest, and the East, and the South.  Well, it's hot and muggy in those places, too.  And out here, even with the exceptional drought, and water usage restrictions, and a developing El Nino weather pattern that is bringing the unusually high humidity to us -- this is still California, the semi-mythical land that attracts the multitudes.

Including a multitude of 2016 presidential election aspirants.  One multitude in particular:  the Republican hopefuls.
