In 2016, especially after President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty, Democrats may be on even thinner ice with white voters, especially white working-class males.
Though the mainstream media wants to gin up the narrative that Republicans have trouble winning minorities, the 2014 midterm elections again showed, as Politico noted, “that Democrats have their own significant demographic vulnerability: working-class white voters. Republicans won white voters without a college degree by 30 points, 64 percent to 34 percent, according to exit polls, equal to their margin in the wave election of 2010.” In addition, “support for President Barack Obama among working-class whites has dropped 8 points since 2010.”
Political analyst Charlie Cook told the outlet that “Democrats have chosen to focus on issues that the liberal base of the party really likes, but the working-class person in West Virginia or Arkansas or Louisiana or Alaska doesn’t necessarily identify with.”
“The challenge that the Democratic Party has in parts of the country appears to be even more formidable than it was two years ago,” he added.
But Obama is likely to swerve even more to the left after Democrats in red states like Mark Pryor, Kay Hagan, Mark Begich and Mary Landrieu lost their reelection bids in Arkansas, North Carolina, Arkansas, and Louisiana, respectively.
In his end-of-year press conference, Obama indicated that he was liberated because he no longer had to worry about the reelection prospects of Democrats from conservative states.

Well Jim, the only reason that Republicans might lose in 2016 would be that they don’t incessantly remind people of Obama’s evil policies, lies and failures. Do you think if they were on the attack ever day like Democrats are, Obama could ever rise to 48% popularity? Stop treating this hate-filled Communist with respect, and he’ll crash and burn. He’ll be begging for them to stop!
One quick example: Do even 5% of Americans know that Sharpton is an adviser who has visited the WH 84X? Why don’t they know it? Republicans aren’t talking about it, that’s why.
There was a court case recently decided, Chicago I think, where a bunch of UAW workers had sued their own union for selling them out.
The Dem-appointed judge ruled against them.
There’s definitely an opening in 2016 for the kind of economic populism that led to the “Reagan Democrats” of 1980 and 1984, but who have been inconsistent GOP voters ever since.
They still have the majority of white women. Don’t kid yourself.
Romney/Clinton 2016
vs.
Cruz/Bolton
If the RATS lost the unions, they’d lose 90% of their funding and every election.
Yeah but, once you go conservative-ack, you'll never go back.
“...white working-class males.”
Metrosexuals? Stay At Home Dads? Liberals With Worthless Degrees, Trying to Find Jobs? Or Unionists?
If it’s the latter, we are in FINE shape! :)
Ha. If only it were so easy.
They will never lose the SEIU which is a predator Union quite expert at exploiting the simple minded and under educated (especially minorities) who populate the low skilled service type worker positions and who are consistently incited to remain aggrieved.
Mr. Obama is doing to the country exactly what Democrats did to America’s cities when they managed to capture the Black vote, the union and the liberal elites in order to elect populist Black Mayors. Those mayors proceeded to install a thoroughly corrupt organized crime operation that ruined our urban areas. They are now trying to take that monumental achievement nationwide. Will will allow the country to go the way or Detroit, or will we not?
Add a few million border hoppers from Mexico, with newly minted Driver’s Licenses fresh in-hand.
imagine how we feel about the gop-e/rinos.
From what I read the “war on women” didn’t get them as far as they had hoped.
I expect one or two D congress critters to become R once the new session starts. That typically happens when there is a large party change.
Democrats don’t have the majority of white married women. Democrats specialize in the broken and dependent... women - blacks - illegals... criminals... Dems need dependent broken people to prop up their white liberal elites...
hmmm
With De Blasio leading the charge against NYPD....
Democrats never do well in sensitive areas of business and defense, their only success is with the insane and trash.
When the food stamp house breaks, Democrats will go Hitler, because their base will be hungry socialists demanding their bread, but they also will be the concentration camp cows lead to the kool aid slaughterhouse.
