Democrats Write Off the White Working Class, Figuring They Couldn't Possibly Do Worse With Them Than They Did in 2016.
They're Wrong.

An editor for the Cook Politico Report tweeted this morning that the Democrats are whistling past the graveyard when they run against the white working class.


Here's why the "let's win without working-class whites" mentality doesn't hold water for Dems. That demog comprises 45% of all eligible U.S. voters, but:

61% in Wisconsin
61% in New Hampshire
56% in Michigan
56% in Minnesota
56% in Pennsylvania
47% in North Carolina

Good luck.


Dems' backslide w/ these voters is the main reason IA (66%) and OH (60%) have already exited stage right off the EC battleground, and why a Dem nominee who performs even worse w/ them could risk losses in ME (66%), NH (61%) or MN (56%).

Dems' path to beating Trump absolutely depends on retaining the gains they made in diverse, college-educated burbs - the kinds we saw in 2018 & #NC09.

But even a slight drop among white non-college voters could negate all of it, given the demog's size & geographic distribution.


Much of the analysis I'm seeing on this site assumes there's no more room for Dems to fall w/ white non-college voters, who are simply a "lost cause."

In fact, Dems have an awful lot more room to fall w/ them, and that's especially true in many of the most critical EC states.

Moreover, the notion that voting behavior is polarized to the point that there aren't any swing/persuadable voters left isn't based in reality.

Not only did we see above-average swings from '12 to '16, Dems wouldn't have gone +40 in '18 without converting lots of '16 R voters.

The bottom line: Dems don't need to win a higher % of the WWC than in '16 b/c 1) it's declining as a % of voters and 2) Dems have made robust gains among college whites.

But Dems *can't* afford to backslide much further & hope to win MI/PA/WI etc. And avoiding that isn't simple.

The Democrats think they can make up for losses in the White Working Class with gains in the White #WokeAF Class.

But real-life isn't Twitter. I keep trying to tell these lunatics that, but they don't believe me.

Last month Politico had a similar story about a demographic with some overlap with the white working class-- the rural vote, which Hillary Clinton lost 2-1 in 2016, and which the Democrats just might lose worse in 2020.

"Right now, no one is building those bridges," Mellman continued. But "if you can move rural voters, even a few points, it becomes possible to win in states you can’t otherwise win."

...

Jeff Link, an Iowa-based consultant who is advising Focus on Rural America, the progressive group that paid for the plane circling the Iowa State Fair, said that if candidates are "talking about who is using what bathroom, we’re not going to get there with rural voters..."

Last week, polling showed that the Democrats had completely lost their 2018 advantage in favorability:

115 That the Dems can even be a national party, or that the current GOP can be like it is and be a major party, unfortunately tells us the bottom line. The electorate - for whatever combo of reasons - simply cannot self-govern, cannot enforce their will on the system on many issues.


The '18 mid-term results by themselves revealed a combo of delusion, ignorance, idiocy, and laziness that is breath-taking.


That's why even tho Trump's re-election seems very likely, one cannot assume anything. This is a country fully capable of voting for hysterical nutcase racist buffoons like the current Dems, despite the best economy in memory and the Dems being wildly, aggressively wrong on almost all major issues for a majority [sometimes a hefty one] of the electorate.

I was told the GOP needed to focus on currying favor with illegal aliens that can't legally vote.

This was essentially gospel for the last 30 years.

Never mind increasing the white vote by like 3% was basically the equivalent of capturing a majority of Hispanics that were always going to be lifelong Democrats anyway.

I think we needed to go through the "let 'em all in" madness for it to sink in that the Dems actually intended to replace the WWC with other people. Sometimes people just have to be hit between the eyes with a 2x4.

2.) They are not awash in billionaire cash sufficient to support organic groceries, fair-trade coffee shops, art districts, wine & painting stores, and chemsex clubs on every corner.

Rural areas are not equipped to serve either of the Left's parasitic classes.

Joe Biden is literally the last man of his demographic and generation. His entire career has been a call back to dems of the old days (Mayor Daley I of Chicago, FDR, etc).

As long as they can keep his dessicated corporeal body moving from point A to point B, the dems have to keep him around. He's this year's Hillary Clinton, older and just as ill.

Look at the rest of their field. Everyone else in the democrat primary field hates the WWC. Everyone else is all in on the New Electorate, and the Old Electorate can go take a long walk on a short pier.

Dems win two suburban Congressional seats.

They lost two outstate MN Congressional districts to the Republicans.

Including the formerly reliable union heavy Northern Minnesota Eighth District.

Trump lost MN by only 30,000 votes. We haven't gone Republican in a Presidential Vote since? Not even Reagan versus favorite son Minnesota Walter Mondale.

I have great hopes for 2020.

Posted by: Cat Ass Trophy at September 16, 2019 03:21 PM (dNzKv)

The Dems are doing everything they can to retain their insane, small but very vocal base and their absolute nutjob , but major donors.

They have gotten NOTHING done on their agenda in the entire year of the new congress, and they have failed to impeach or jail Donald Trump with the Mueller report. Some of their players, such as McCabe are possibly going to be indicted. They failed to eliminate Brett Kavanaugh as a SC justice. they are losing advantage on many of the nation's courts that they used to ram their agenda through via Trump and McConnell's Senate confirmations, they have less and less chance of taking the Senate and their newbies in the House have done nothing but horrible optics for them since arriving.

This was a coordinated, IMO , attempt via these authors, the NYT, and the DNC , to try to fan up more stupid accusations against a sitting SC justice to reduce the bench of nominees Trump has to offer. It's more of the same. When you have Congressional committees being run by a fat, penguin from Batman character who keeps declaring that Donald Trump is guilty of corruption when a $35 million dollar investigation proved he isn't and a field of batshit insane parrots all mouthing the same thing about Kavanaugh, you don't have a political party. You have a Antifa like subversive group of politicians who aren't strong enough to belt someone with a bike chain, but have the same intelligence and personal character to support it.

Posted by: zombie at September 16, 2019 03:24 PM (Q3dyo)

Greg Abbott still got 60% of the vote in 2018 - and he got close to 50% of the Hispanic vote. Watch John Cornyn in 2020 - he's going to get 60% of the vote as well, even though conservatives don't like him all that much. Why? Because he's likable, and Cruz isn't. Sad to say, that's going to be worth a 10 - 15 point swing in any election.

Their is a great wedge issue that conservatives can use with Hispanics - the LGBT/100 genders issue, and the idiotic pronoun bullshit. They don't go for any of that. Also, hispanics aren't wild about Slave Reparations and Gun Control, either. All useful web issues to focus elections on.

one other thing - Texas Hispanics aren't like California hispanics at all. The Castro brothers try to be, but they are jokes that couldn't win a state wide election to pick up dead armadillos off the road.

For crying out loud, they don't actually even stop spending to within the on-paper budget constraints during shutdowns... they just furlough some people and arbitrarily pause the debt counter.

Every single policy they have is based on you giving up something to the government, for more of their control over your life.

Give up your right to free speech, your income, control over your healthcare, your sovereignty and finally, your guns so you can't fight back.

That doesn't appeal to a person of any color who values freedom.

Illegal crime waves, including murder, including specifically perps who've been sheltered by "sanctuary" jurisdictions - absolute non-issue. Isn't even discussed. Idiotic unconstitutional persecution of gun owners, AKA "gun control", expensive pointless "environmental" crap, on and on - not a trace of pushback or political backlash in any large state, representing a good % of the national population.


In freaking *AZ*, the governor was pushing college tuition discounts for illegals. A "GOP" governor. After the voters had pushed through a referendum item barring such outrages [I think by 7O%+]. AZ.

Hindsight yes, but it's something I noticed in the present (200 and then tested going backwards, then forwards (2012 and 2016). And for 2020, the Democrats don't have a single contender that beats Trump on that score. In fact, it's not even close.

308 I was on the "Warren will be the nominee" train until today. After thinking about the prospect of any Democratic nominee facing a 45+ state blowout by Trump in 2020, I can foresee a situation where the Dem bigwigs put Biden out there as cannon fodder in 2020. If Warren loses next year, she's done for 2024. Same for any of these other candidates - I don't see the 2024 Dem candidate as anyone who didn't declare this time around. If you're them, you save your powder for a Republican open field in 2024, not be the person who couldn't even beat OrangeManBad this year.

Most of Texas and almost all of the plains up past where Canada is now were once a great shallow sea, where the mosasaurs frolicked and the hadrosaurs played.

No ice anywhere on the planet, 9 degrees warmer than today, and it's estimated that there were TWICE as many living things on the Earth then than there are today. It's almost like the warmer things get, the more Life likes it.
