Because the left is 99 percent idiotic on the economy while the right is only 98 percent idiotic about the economy.

LOL...Why would losing to Obama put "white folks" on edge? They're the ones that picked him twice over a white guy by pretty large margins.

Might shock you but a whole bunch of white people don't vote race or gender.

There are chunks of party loyalists out there.

Now if you have any more racist thoughts to share with us, please don't.

LMAO... white folks believe a whole lot of things. Most believed that war in Vietnam and Iraq made good sense. They believed that prohibition would curb drinking, and that the Drug War would reduce the amount of drugs on the streets and cut down on usage.

Frankly, I'm not all that impressed with the record of what they think.
Believing isn't the problem. The use of force "to get things done" is the problem.

I don't think anyone should put all their eggs in the "Trump approval rating" basket.

He may not even be around for 2020 or decide not to run, get beat in primaries etc.

Democrats need to be wary about their message because if the bulk of your message is Trump sucks (not that I disagree), then tactically you're setting yourself up for the real possibility that he'll never face another presidential election and if so...that cache is gone.

By the same token, Republicans could easily face back-lash if they've not produced for blue collar workers.

Loose the country? lol If you mean the whites that are in the 1 percent then I agree. But your all encompassing bigoted statement is just that.

But your whole focus was on Whites, not everyone.

Is the South Bronx (or NY) or South Central (which is in Cali) in play? Those folks are (already) a component of the existing Democratic coalition (in two Democratic states) which is doomed to fail unless something weird happens....or the Dems change their strategy (which they haven't yet.)

That girl in the Obamaphone utoob (along with the cops fry like bacon comments & the antifa nutjobs attacking property and people)....did as much as to move independents to the Repubs.....as the debt doubling to 20 Trillion the past 8 years.....or Hillary's pants suits and bug eyes did.

Nailed it. Discuss economics with an average group of people and most start blinking rapidly &/or check out their i phones or the hot waitresses serving across the way.

Whenever I see (or participate) in an economic thread, there are usually a couple of posters (providing good or interesting opinions), lasts a page and a half.....& then crickets.

Whereas, start a "p*ssy hat march" thread or "tranny in the army" thread..... or "Trump dated a burmese midget lady boi who speaks Russian" thread....and it'll be 87 pages long.
