"And taxes -- don't forget, the Demagogic Party also is always trying to raise existing taxes and impose new ones."

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.

The DNC and Nicholson’s Joker (”who do you trust? hubba hubba hubba free money! who do you trust?”) have a lot in common in methodology, rhetoric and final results if they get their way.
“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.
No problem -- just stop trying flood the labor market with illegals; repeal Obamacare; stop trying to confiscate all guns; for that matter, as a start, stop pretending that you don't intend to confiscate all guns; stop pushing aborfion and infanticide; repudiate the global warming hoax; repudiate gender dysphoria; repudiate male-bashing...

Abandoned? More like the Democrats are waging total war against the working class.
You have to remember, when they say "labor" they mean "union labor."
Why the hell are they surprised we don't trust them when the only time they 'care' is a few months before an election?
I would argue that if there are still any real blue coller laborers, there are so few that they are trivial irrelevancies.
Middle class job holders from the loading docks to the CNC machines are very prosperour relative to the Rooseveltian actual blue coller workforce.
Blue Coller is a historical hanger on with no real meaning today
Have any of the folks quoted in this article heard of #Walkaway?
Labor, such a 1950s term.
Blue Collar Voters Still Voting Dem Begin To Figure Out That They Are Idiots.
Naa.. They’re idiots. They’ll never figure it out.
You are smelly Walmart shoppers but they still want your vote. Then keep your mouth shout for the next four years.
For thirty years the jobs were sent to China and what did the unions do to stop it.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.
Blue collar voters fear the Democrats have abandoned them
