On CNN saying that the hard hat, lunch pail crowd (basically the blue collar white male) hasnt been reached out to at this convention. Reaching out to that crowd is a losing strategy....either that crowd is voting for you or not...the people that need reaching out to are the base and the people who voted in 2012, but not in 2016

I knew he was going to do this. Notice his call for Biden to pick a black woman was only when there were misleading leaks about Whitmer .
Now that he has picked a black woman he is on some other bs .

(54,770 posts)They did have farmers and other workers on tonight that can use consideration. But if one hates people that dont look like them, dont expect a big play for them when Dems are trying to present what they are about.
Truthfully, ignorant white wingers are too stupid and/or vile to realize their lives will be better too.

(7,006 posts)We are watching MSNBC for the DNC Convention. Love Anderson Cooper and normally watch his show tonight but TURNCOAT Van Jones is a straight up NOT STARTER.
That is why MSNBC is LEADING in the Viewership Ratings for the Week, thus far.
