It's more that she won states with significant racial minority populations, mainly because the party establishment's ties of patronage and influence to leaders of minority communities.

It is hardly surprising at all really.  Close to 90% of Blacks in particular (Latinos are a tad more fickle) vote consistently for the Democrat.  Part of that is inertia, which is a crucial element in voting patterns.  That said, polls are indicating that Trump has doubled the number of votes for him by Blacks and Latinos in the primary in comparison to other GOP candidates in this election and previous elections.

I would say that Daddy as at least some appeal to the Naturally Conservative minded both in the GOP and outside that party.  As I am.  Being both in FL and a Registered Democrat I had only Clinton or Sanders as an option.  Given the choice between Trump or Sanders, Sanders wins for me.  However, in the General Election the choice is going to be Clinton or Trump and Daddy clearly wins there.

As I said I would vote for a potted plant if it ran against Hillary.  I don't like her, as I've said before it is visceral, though I do have a rational basis for not liking her (mainly she's part of the problem).  And my not liking her stretches back to when she was First Lady.
