How does the Democratic Party win back the votes of poor white males? [View all]

If the GOP has a source of strength for resources, it is the two percent. Those votes actual votes, however, come from an educated minority. In other words, those votes know who and what they are voting for.

That said, if it has a source of strength for voters, it is poor white males. They are voting against their interests for a party that does not serve them. How does does the democratic party get this group, along with other groups that are voting against their interests, and finally kill the GOP for good?
