The Trump Democrat phenomenon, can Democrats win in the future without the white working class

Who said I didn't want to hear dissenting opinion? Dissent all you want, I could care less.... I know what I see plain as day.... Democrats believe white people are inherently racist, no matter what they say or do, ( privilege theory ) and that the world is worse off just by them being here...


If you are white and you don't accept that premise, and haven't dedicated your life to making up for the fact that you exist, the Dems have written you off.

Oh my gawd...


Who in their right mind would trust polls, particularly any of those that were taken during the 2016 election cycle, after they were so epically wrong? It's almost as if some people's world would fall apart if they didn't have some kind of poll to turn toward in order to make sense of the world.....


If the "polls" had any credibility at all, Hillary Clinton would be our president right now.

The 2016 election wasn't a carbon copy of any previous contest, and while Trump will most likely be running for re-election in 2020, he won't be a contender in any subsequent races. So 2024 and beyond will be an entirely new ballgame that we can only speculate about for now.

Not every Republican nominee will have Trump's success in connecting so well with white voters without college degrees, and not every Democratic nominee will prioritize private fundraisers over public rallies and call supporters of their opponent "deplorables". Maybe the next Democratic nominee will do better at stimulating turnout among younger and minority voters than Clinton did, and that could make the difference in a few states that were close. There is no one demographic that is going to single handedly determine election outcomes on their own. Just like Obama's coalition didn't work out for Clinton, Trump's coalition will not necessarily work out for the Republican who attempts to succeed him.
