Working-Class Hero: Trump Expands To 20-Point Lead Among White Blue-Collars Vs. Hillary Clinton
Breitbart ^ | 10 Jan 2016 | Mike Flynn

New polling data from Reuters finds a nationwide toss-up 2016 contest between GOP frontrunner Donald Trump and Democrat frontrunner Hillary Clinton - but he's beating her by 20 points, 46 percent to 26 percent, among white working-class voters.

That's up from a five-point lead in mid-December. Trump's January lead is so huge, in fact, that Hillary just barely edges out the option "don't know."

Trump is continually attacked by the media. He is constantly called unelectable. Despite this, his popularity continues to grow.

Trump would win the election in a landslide. The media can not destroy him like they do to most Republicans.

And he will make a great president.

Time to bulldoze the American political system. The GOP has always been the party of working people and the middle class. But it has been controlled by the country club elites.

How ironic that a blustery NY City tycoon would be the one to crash the party and throw open the doors of the exclusive country club, to all the folks who work there.

Repubs have a golden opportunity to take a huge piece of the democrat base, and make it Republican for decades.

Well, if it was 50 years ago, and white working class voters were a majority of the electorate, it would all be over.

But it's not 50 years ago.

In latest NYT Iowa poll, Trump at 50% support by blacks.

A dirty little secret: Black and Latino men will NOT vote for a woman.

Obama lost working class white voters by 26% in 2012.

Well, they’ve voted for plenty of women for governorships and Congress. If you’re saying there is something unique about the Presidency that means they won’t for a female President, I don’t know how there can be evidence supporting that given that no woman has ever won the nomination.

This is the nightmare scenario for the Democrats-—large segments of their fragile coalition defecting to become Trump Democrats. Low income and union whites are already beginning to defect over the ‘complete transormation of America’ that Obama brought into their party as a goal. They are just now beginning to realize that their American values are being trashed by Obama and their elitists leaders. How many of them are “bitter, clinging to their religion and guns.”?

The mystery is the Democrats recent affection for Muslims. Resolutions in Congress to protect Muslims from hate speech but nothing about the growing anti-Semitic sentiment against Jews in the extreme Left? If they think they will be able to replace the Jewish voting and financing component with Muslims in the Democrat coalition, they are completely looney-toon. And you cannot expect to hold the LGBT groups in the Dem coalition if the leaders in the Dem Party persist in this love affair with Muslims.
