Blue Dog Democrats are basically Republicans from what I've seen.

He defeated 16 professional politicians. Now it's Hillary's turn.
That doctor was a professional politician?

You got me on Carson. I forget about that particular candidacy. This even though Chuck Todd and NBC had practically called him the GOP nominee in one of their attempts to discredit Trump.

Well no matter. It doesn't change what I said.

Blue dog Dems were redistricted and otherwise run out of the Democrat party by early 2000s.

Blue Collar Democrats Turn Against Hillary Clinton Over Radical Islam, Loss of US Manufacturing Base - Breitbart This is an excellent article about Democrats that have had their eyes opened by the facts.

Maybe she should have talked about a viable way to bring jobs rather than promise aid packages for those that she would put out of work, like the coal industry, to honor her promises based on contributions to her "foundation". (Arab nations)

Clinton and Obama should co-author an autobiography, "The Screwing of the American People".
There aren't any blue dogs left. They are either gone or became Republicans.

Blue collar voters are not blue dogs. You've mixed your definitions up. How the blue collar voters will go is yet to be determined, but Brietbart is blind to anything that disagrees with them, in belief or in fact.

Trusting an Brietbart opinion is true is like believing in the tooth fairy.

Hillary lost what was left of her Blue Collar support when she clearly stated that she wants to close down the coal industry in the USA and put 10s of 1000s out of work. That will cost her the industrial Midwest/rust belt. Of course her support for the outsourcing of jobs has cost her dearly here too.

Nah. Clinton didn't put coal miners out of work. The mine owners did, and the nail was driven into coal's coffin when the largest of them went bankrupt due to their own failings.

Not to worry, though. Sooner or later, coal technology will overcome it's filth, and when that happens, coal will rise again. We have so much of it that coal will always be the cheapest fuel source, and when it is cleaned up and-or gassified in a practical method, it will return to being the cheapest and most plentiful energy source in the United States.

But by then, human miners will be very hard to find. Mining coal has always been lethal work, and robotics will take over the job.
