if you think the number of white nationalists could pull any vote you're most likely fooled often.

Thats very true.

And Hillary was too arrogant to consider what voters actually want.
They showed her what they didn't want.

I think Hilary should have learned telling people what they want to hear is politics 101 but I gather she went for a new tactic. There's always next time.

correct I suppose, like Trump and the GOP, I guess Dems should make the new MO to assume all blue collar workers are gullible simpletons easily distracted by lies and wedge issues....got it!!

Because, with NAFTA, Bill Clinton sold the Democratic Party to Wall Street.
You can't side with both capital and labor at the same time.

good thing Trump got rid of it then, right?

She failed at show and tell.

She didn't show well

She couldn't tell the truth and didn't even consider it as an option.

The Republican Party has traditionally represented Capital. There should be no surprise there. The OP's question is why did the Democrats lose the biggest part of their constituency?

yes- your Daddy really told the truth...like repeal and replace on Day 1...like getting rid of NAFTA, like labeling China a currency manipulator, like defeating ISIS in 30 days, like walking away from his businesses, like no new foreign deals, like his big tax cut for the middle class, like no cuts to Medicaid, like his wall that mexico will pay for......
