Few questions in American political debate recur with the regularity of this one: Can Democrats win the white working class?
As soon as it’s time to start contemplating the next election, commentators begin to ask this question, demanding of Democrats that they explain why this time will be different and they’ll be able to win over those white voters. I’m going to argue that Democrats don’t have to win the white working class, so they shouldn’t worry themselves too much about it.
But first, here’s the latest example of the genre, in today’s Wall Street Journal, which gets a little more specific, asking whether Hillary Clinton can appeal to white voters, even in rural areas:
Mrs. Clinton’s allies are confident she can attract white voters who have turned away from her party, particularly women. Democratic pollster Geoff Garin, who worked on her 2008 campaign, said she “demonstrated a significant ability to not only win votes from working-class white women but to connect with them on a personal level.”
After a rocky start in that campaign, Mrs. Clinton cast herself as a scrappy underdog and union ally while topping Mr. Obama in more than 20 states in Democratic primaries in places such as Pennsylvania and Ohio that have many white, working-class voters.
Recent Wall Street Journal/NBC News polling shows that Mrs. Clinton’s appeal among those voters has withered....

Write off working class whites, write off the south, write off conservatives, write off the middle class, write off taxpayers........
The D’s have shafted and written off working Americans - including Leo the millions who can’t find jobs anymore. The D’s have changed their coalition to rely more on the groups they’re so busy increasing in numbers — welfare recipients and foreigners. They’ve apparently counted the votes in the key swing states and arrived at this strategy.
At this point, what difference does it make? Fauxcahontis is the nominee anyway
It’s a workable strategy if they can figure out how to hold elections and not bother to count the actual votes. And I think maybe they have figured that out.
Whistling past the graveyard.
I think that’s why Warren will take her down.
And by Nov 2016, the journ-0-lists will have Warren solidly viewed as a Native American grandma fighting for the middle class vs. Wall $treet and the Big Banks. Who also will offer all the millenials Groupons for student loan debt writeoff.
Or which “sexist” remark by the GOP nominee will be played over and over and over and over again on the TV networks. That goes for any male vs. Hillary Clinton or Dizzy Miss Lizzie.
Handouts are the only things that the ‘Rats can offer. We’re $18T and counting in debt due to these liars. If the doormat wins, the US is done.
This gal wants $100 Trillion in slave reparations in addition to everything we’ve already spent:

Want to know something scary? She may be the next president if you don’t forward this to everyone that you know.
All you have to do is take every urban precinct of every swing state and have 100% of them “turn out” - that’s how Obama won 2012.
The only taxpayers they can get are some LGBT and abortion activists, or those so wealthy it doesn’t matter (or they get out of paying taxes because they’re special). How long are average Americans going to put up with this?
I cannot for the life of me understand any logic in that. In our law, children cannot be held responsible for their parent’s debt and likewise an adult child.
It appears the only reason that America needs whitey anymore is so they’ll have somebody to pay for BIG government for the freeloaders.
I hope the stupid dems nominate her.
What happened in 2008 most assuredly will not happy in 2015-16. BECAUSE she has aged since then. Few but the most Hitlery-happy feminists will find her convincing with her wrinkles, dyed hair, botox and pulled up facial muscles. Other reasons too, but age is the most obvious.
Bookmarked this incredible info on Hilda!
The white working class was abandoned by the Dems a LONG time ago.
Hillary won’t last. She’s too old and in poor health and far too prone to foot in mouth disease. She also can’t motivate the Dem base.
I’m expecting another black to pop up. Zero Round 2. Corey Booker. Now that blacks have gone through Obama, they aren’t going to the back of the Democrat bus.
