The correct answer is D) received more white votes than the Democratic Party.
In almost every presidential election since 1968, the Republican Party has received more white votes than the Democratic Party.
This can be understood as a continuing preference on the part of White Anglo Saxon people, who have conservative or traditional ideas and see the Republican party ad the one that supports their point of view; both, political and personal.
The Republican Party is formed by conservative people that show traits of nationalism. These conservative people support family values, extreme patriotism, conservative schools, the protection of US products. They are against the government expenditure in assistance programs, and the reduction of taxes to increase the production in private corporations. They do not favor immigration.
