(667 posts)can win without the working class white vote? I think that is the essential question being asked here. Further, how does that candidate convince the white working class to vote against what is in their perceived best interest? Remember we have been down this route before and managed to create a class of Archie Bunker Raygun Democrats. How similar it all is beginning to seem. They put up a populist demagogue we counter with a self described socialist and a wholly owned crony capitalist. Then we segregate the party racial and sexual dogma and viola, you are looking at president tRump.
The winner of this election will face a country which seems to be the most divided of my lifetime. Think long and hard on how that person will deal the opposition.
