Hollo, maybe I can be of some small assistance here. I don't think it would be overstating things by claiming that most of the crowd at a Trump rally will be Caucasian. That being the case I don't think the fact that Minnesota is still a largely white state (83, not 94%) is what prompted Trump to make the statement he did. He's not exactly a deep thinker. I don't know what's in the man's heart and he certainly doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt in a lot of ways, but I don't think it's crazy to think that Trump's statement had nothing to do with Minnesota being largely white and of those whites, largely of Scandinavian origin.
