This cohort leans Republican now more than ever; a Gallup poll this year shows they favor the GOP by a whopping 25 percentage points.
It was as if the Democratic Party didn’t understand how much they needed labor. Oddly, it appears they still don’t. “The working-class voters in my county tend to wonder if the party still wants them,” says Mark Hackel, the Democratic chief executive of Macomb County, Mich., where voters favored Trump over Clinton by 11 percentage points. “They’re not really sure where they fit in.”
Mike Mikus, a Democratic strategist who helped guide Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf’s successful reelection last year, said it would be folly if his party didn’t start wooing the working-class voter.
“It’s a mistake,” Mikus said. “The Democratic Party policies are very helpful and appealing to working-class people. We should most definitely be delivering that message to them and courting them.”
Steinbeck, now a labor leader in Ohio’s Mahoning-Trumbull area, says he finds Trump’s presidency abhorrent and his party’s “inability to make labor part of the conversation or equation” disheartening.
But, as the nomination race starts narrowing, he is hopeful a candidate will emerge who inspires the labor voter. And he hopes labor will strongly back that nominee in the same way they did with Obama to take back the White House.

You think so....
They fit in just like the Plantation Black folk.
I suppose it’s diffficult for a regular Joe to feel at home in the party of Mike loves Bob, Ken in Barbie’s clothes and abortion on demand.
Don’t worry if the Dems win everything most people in the US will live in a nice comfortable Gulag
Not enough working people are perverts—poor fit for the Democrat Party.
They have.
Not to worry. President Trump has your six.
“The working-class voters in my county tend to wonder if the party still wants them,” says Mark Hackel, the Democratic chief executive of Macomb County, ”
Let me clear things up for the decent working class voters in Macomb County.
The Democrat Party hates you. They’ve been screaming it into your faces for 3 years. If you don’t get this by now you’re hopeless.

Out of work blue collar workers love Dems and vote to be unemployed. Working blue collar workers vote Trump.
Working-class voters know that they will be the ones paying for all of the freebies that are being promised to those who have no intention of working
Excellent point.
Unions are the largest campaign contributors of ALL TIME.
And they give 99.9% to democrats.

They have! They actively seek to destroy blue collar people! Either thru excessive taxation, or making so many regulations and so much red tape, its hard for the little man and blue collar worker to get by. I wish more people would wake up to that!
“Blue collar voters fear the Democrats have abandoned them... “
They should be grateful.
I think it's a hard sell for the Democratic Party because "labor" means "work."
Union members never realized they are a cheap date for demonicRATS. Their Union dues go to extravagant salaries and benefits for Union leaders and politicians who despise free enterprise and don’t lose a wink of sleep if the golden goose they are sucking the life blood out of dies and takes those jobs to the grave with it.

Piss off Steinpecker.
Any working-class person who does not already know that the Democrats, and Leftists generally, hate him is a fool.
