One illustration:
In Colorado, Mark Udall all but ignored white men.
He ran well behind Cory Gardner with white male voters.
Democrats liked to comfort themselves into thinking that is just a Southern white male problem.
It isn’t - not anymore. The truth of the matter is the Democratic Party is perceived to be a party uninterested in white men and could care less about them.
The Democrats can no longer win with a coalition of women and minorities. They risk becoming irrelevant.
That’s the point! Dems can not win on minorites alone, they basically have to win with a solid number of whites and high number of minorities. Well the thing is that those number of whites (middle class working family) are abandoning the dems more and more and the numbers are making it hard for Dems. Obama could get a high rate of minorities, especially blacks to vote for him and Dems on the ballot but ‘no Obama’ in mid-terms and coming 2016 presidential election means that its very unlikely that the Dems are going to get that same high amount of minorities to cover for losing white democrat voters.
2016 is ripe for an conservative to channel similarly to what Reagan was doing by going after those ‘Reagan Democrats’ middle-class families back in those days. With the bad economy and malaise going around I think a conservative could increase turnout but you can’t do that with a RINO like Christie or Jeb or some other
I really don’t understand how any straight man would vote Democrat. When I meet a man and politics come into the conversation and he mentions he votes Democrat my Gaydar immediately goes off. One guy told me one time he voted for Obama, but not the first time, but the second time. The look on my face was priceless. He started stumbling and bumbling saying “so Obama could finish doing what he started in his second term.” I said” you mean finish destroying this country”. Dumb stupid lib didn’t realize being dumb and stupid would affect how women perceive whether you’re gay or not. My conclusion, metro sexual or confused about his masculinity.
Romney won the white women vote 56% to 42%. Race and ethnicity play a greater role in how women vote than gender.
Part of it is a "Ferguson Effect". Normal, law-abiding people have had it with the pandering and the permitted destruction of a community.
That could explain some very liberal states choosing conservatives on the state level.
Exactly.
I couldn't care less whether a rich "white guy" is running for office.
If he's a liberal, I know for a fact that he has absolutely NOTHING to offer me.
In fact, I know that he'll support policies that will hurt me and my family directly.
Maybe talk like THIS has something to do with it...
MSNBC: ‘Old White People’ in the South Who Vote Republican Are ‘Going to Die Someday’
And yet, if they do the slightest thing to help white men or even dare to deviate slightly from the "All white men are racist/sexist/homophobic/feudal patriarchs!" party line, professional activists from said coalition are going to come down on them like a ton of bricks.
That's the problem with wholesale adoption of identity politics - great over the short term, but once the targeted group's well of guilt runs dry the backlash can be horrific.
They don't care much about white women, either, but white women haven't figured that out yet, at least not en masse. Some have caught on, but many can still be persuaded totheir birthright for 30 pieces of contraceptive pills per month.
It’s not only Just That- placing blame on everyone BUT themselves... after reading many other current articles- OBAMA, his staff, the libbie papers- Press, Air and internet-EVERY Dem & Lib gave their OWN “Version” of what happened.
They all came up with more excuses than Bart Simpson would have! For being caught because you were basically just WRONG!
MY Addition to the LIST of excuses “ Why Dem Failure “ that I vote as the Most Immature and Inventive as a 5 years was in OBAMA’S speech,
“...and to the two-thirds of you who didn’t vote, I hear you too...”
So according to Obama- there wasn’t really a WAVE- it was because TWO-THIRDS!!! TWO-THIRDS!!??? of Dems DID NOT VOTE!?!!
and from a Libbie pundit ,
“...Democrats liked to comfort themselves into thinking that is just a Southern white male problem...”
ANY Excuse- no matter how lame - is good enough so Obama dosen’t have to nationally, on air, admit the truth!
