Obama utterly wrote it off in 2012.
Seemed to work out pretty well for him.

White working class voters are nothing but racist crackers in need of a beat down by the black bosses.

And this class is tired of being called racist/sexist/homophobe/headchopperphobe/ and having all its money confiscated and sent to lazy racist slobs.

A typical article dealing largely with economic issues. As a great historian stated "those who think only in economic terms are forever victims of those who don't." Spengler

Poverty and increasing economic loss flow from the fact that the stupid white American is hellbent on turning over political and social control to blacks and aliens. They are now in the process of consolidating their position-which will take a few years to complete. Both blacks and Hispanics resent our one time success and once dominant role.(I would go so far as to state they hate us not merely resent us.)(By the way all one has to do is listen to their leaders and the one who pops up now and then and observe the attacks on us.))

I guess the only way the White American will learn is through being driven to poverty, lack of education, achieving insults, the assault with intent to kill whites,the rape of white women-preferably in front of husbands and fathers. None of this is "nice" but it is occurring with sufficient frequency so as to presage the future.

People cannot grasp that race is the single most important issue facing America today. It may not be "logical" but it sure is real.

I believe the biggest divide is rural/suburbian people vs. city folk.

If you look at the electoral maps and how people vote, that’s usually how it falls.

People away from the city just want to be left alone, the city folk wants big government help. Unfortunately, the city folks will not leave the rest of us alone right now.

“I believe the biggest divide is rural/suburbian people vs. city folk.

You are absolutely correct, and that is what “fundamentally transforming America” is all about. 0bama doesn’t care about rural America; too few votes. But he does care about suburban America; his goal is herding the Republican suburban voter into the crowded cities where they can be made into dependent democrats.

The two things that make suburban living possible are good paying jobs and cheap energy. Take them away, and the suburbs go away. 0bama’s handlers know this, and every policy of this regime is consistent with destroying the good paying jobs and the cheap energy.

This is the democrat strategy to fundamentally transform America into a perpetual Soviet-style one party system.

“One of the most talked about groups in recent elections has been the white working class”

Really? I never hear WWC mentioned . .. they are just forgotten and/or taken for granted.

The GOP messed up big time by not courting this group, particularly in the 70s et seq . . . These are the people most negatively affected by racial preferences/quotas, school busing and “choice” Sec. 8 housing, crime, trashed out neighborhoods, shopping, schools. Yet they are expected to take the hits and keep on moving and moving to GTHA from all the BS the elites dump on them.

Liberal and moderate white pols should be called out for hypocrisy. Let them give up their own jobs and Lil Darlin’s admissions. Make them attend the crap public schools rather than condescend on the ordinary Americans. There’s not a reason on Earth anymore why WWC should give an ounce of political power to anyone else. Not one.

Reagan won, Bush the elder won, Dubya won twice. All the Republicans have to do is to stop kicking the Reagan Democrats in the groin and get them back. But that has been a bridge too far as the money party continues to export jobs and factories and the votes that go with that. Stop screwing American citizens with costly wars and nation building and bring the jobs home.

Republicans need not become Democrats. Republicans could become conservatives. Just conserve the American economy and that doesn’t mean cutting government, it means stop cutting American jobs and hiring elsewhere. Be patriotic, put country before money. I’ll wait till they remember the support they once had from the middle family working class. Shutting down government is a sideshow, shutting down factories is the main event.

One fact the author fails to make clear.....

Is he talking about “White” voters, or “non-Hispanic White” voters?

The Census Bureau and many other government agencies and many political polls frequently combine the two, but do not point that out in their data.

Mitt Romney got more than 60% of the total non-Hispanic White vote in 2012.

By any standard, that’s excellent, even if the GOP does not do that well with White working class voters.

There are only two non-Hispanic White groups who do not give a majority vote to Republicans:

(1) Single White working class women

(2) White Women under age 30

He could only do that via voter suppression by the IRS.
He knew, if not ordered, the plan to deny conservative orgs their fundraising abilities.

“Obama utterly wrote it off in 2012. Seemed to work out pretty well for him.”

No he didn’t. Most of his early money was spent suppressing the white working class vote. The Bain Capital ads weren’t directed at middle class or poor voters. They were directed at white working class voters and played on exactly the inclinations of that group highlighted in the article.

It worked. White working class voters, especially men, did not vote. The more money Obama spent in the state, the less they voted.

Right out of the gate, Henry gets it wrong:

“...it is still very large at nearly 40 percent of the national electorate.”

Nationally, disregarding all the leftist propaganda. whites make up 71%$ of the electorate.

After reading this major fumble by Henry, why read anything else he scribbles?

Yeh, voter fraud got Buckwheat elected for a second term. Maybe conservatives can get off their fat asses and clean up voter roles. I’m real tired of this stupid meme that Buckwheat was able to get elected by ignoring white voters. Buckwheat got illegally elected by riding the George Soros fraud machine.

[Art.] Outside of the South and evangelical outposts, then, the stereotypical Reagan Democrat simply doesn’t exist.

A known and demonstrated sociological and historical fact is made to evaporate in one big "poof!"

Amazing! Well done, Dr. Sardonicus!

People cannot grasp that race is the single most important issue facing America today. It may not be "logical" but it sure is real.

Race is a simplistic dividing line upon which any grievance can be blamed. It requires no thought on the part of those who would use it as an excuse, only the release of pent-up hostility and frustration. In the human psyche, it can be rationalized into sufficient reason to excuse almost any act in the mind of those who choose to wield it thus, without the need to establish individual guilt of any wrongdoing.

We need more Reagan and less Ayn Rand. An example of the mindset that handed the election to Obama was this “makers and takers” nonsense, a not so veiled denigration of the laboring people of this country in contrast to the people who “write the checks”. The Republicans have gone from opposing Democratic class warfare to actively waging one for Thurston Howell. Class warfare is bad citizenship no matter which side it comes from
