The shift in their vote 2008 to 2016 played the largest role in the Rust belt outcome. Since then , Dems have doubled down on identity, anything but white wwc ok, rhetoric and policies that drove them away.

The Democrats abandoned the working class decades ago. Why? Because there’s no money to be made from the working class. All of the money is in the hands of Wall Street and Big Business. Why represent people who have no bribe money to give you?

That talk is not threatening. However, Dems called wwc "deplorables". They are not into an inclusive society, but are after, effectively, causes that harm the wwc.

The wwc told them what they think by electing our wonderful POTUS Trump.

The wwc will remain a plurality of the Rust Belt by huge margins. No Rust Belt, no DNC path to 270.

Just the facts.

Clinton repealed Glass-Steagall, which played a huge role in creating the Great Recession. Wall St wanted the repeal. Bubba was tight with Wall St, did their bidding.

Republicans wrote and voted for that repeal. Your argument just doesnt work.

Of course he did. Because that’s where the money is.

The Democrats are just Republicans who support LGBT rights. There’s no difference between the two parties on the economic issues that affect the lives of ordinary Americans.

Personally, I hope the Rust Belt gives the middle finger to the Democrats in 2020 like they did in 2016. The Democrats deserve to lose. They care more about transgender bathrooms and free healthcare for illegal immigrants that working class Americans.

Hillary Clinton specifically said racist were deplorable, unless you are defining yourself as racist, she wasnt talking about the majority of the WWC.

If you feel it was a dog whistle, explain why, that may be a conversation that needs to happen, but on its face, in context, she didnt mean people who actually act like decent human beings.

Bubba signed it, and an override majority was not available.

Sanford weill's successor was a Clinton staffer, and Sanford pushed Bubba to sign the repeal. Bubba owns that signature.

50 years ago, Dems were pro working class. Now they are anti working class.

That 9 point reduction wwc votes 2008-2016 swung the 2016 election.

Wrong. HRC called half Trumps supporters deplorables. Tried feebly apologizing only after her polls tanked.

It cost her, and I am delighted she will go to her grave never achieving her dream.
