Most poor White people Vote republican no matter what State they are in especially in the South
That makes no sense given Democrats support expanding welfare and entitlements and raising taxes on the rich. Democrats are going hard for the poor vote, GOP is going for the middle class vote with lower taxes, welfare and entitlement reform policies.
The Democrats say GOP is 'the party of the rich' and self describe the Democratic party as the party for the poor.
In the south, the poor areas vote bigly for the Democratic party.
Trump won a majority of college educated white voters.
Trump won white voters by a margin almost identical to that of Mitt Romney which is not surprising. Whats different is Trump’s margin among whites without a college degree is the largest among any candidate in exit polls since 1980. Two-thirds (67%) of non-college whites backed Trump
Many of those voters were blue collar Democrats that had voted for Obama 4 years prior, so you are making my point for me. I agree Trump has more appeal with blue collar white people than typical of a GOP pol, but he also won a majority of the white educated vote, yet you are trying to associate lack of education and poverty with the average Trump supporter.
The reality is Democrats would not compete in national elections without dominating among poor voters. They win nearly 100 percent in the populated poor inner cities.
The reason Democrats love immigration so much is many of the immigrants are poor and likely Democratic voters.

Based purely on self-interest. Lower wage earners should vote for the party that would help them the most economically like the Democrats. Poor whites continue to vote against there own best interest So why does the poor white/lower middle-class population continue to favor the Republicans despite the fact that the economic promises of the party have been shown to be bogus? Partly it is a cultural phenomenon. The Republican platform is against abortion and gay marriage and for gun rights, important issues for Poor/lower-middle-class whites more so important than the Obamacare That they didn't know they had.

They populated poor inner cities are majority black. The rural poor whites Vote Republican

I don't think it is true most white poor people are Republican voters. I think that you assume people in in rural areas must be poor. Also in the south, many black poor people live in rural areas and Hillary dominated many rural counties in the south.
It is interesting how liberals like you seem to focus on white poverty. You view poverty in terms of skin color.
I said they are not the party of poor white America that goes to republican party
It doesn't make any sense that white poor people would favor the GOP over the party that wants to expand welfare, entitlements, etc. Poor white people don't care about tax cuts because they aren't paying income tax.
What is interesting is you like to make GOP out as poor white people voters as though that is a bad thing.

You seem to have an obsession with skin color, and you seem to think black poverty doesn't matter.
Race, Skin color, and nationality matter no matter what you're dealing with Its always mattered in this country this country was built on Identity politics So yes America has an obsession with skin color. Your assumptions are wrong if you think I don't think black poverty matters. I was merely responded to posters who keep saying Democrats are keeping poor blacks as slaves.
