Obama hid the underlying problem the Dems had that was obvious since the Clinton years.... because he was melaninated, he got turnout and support that hid the D’s big long term problem.. that combined with Anger over the Bush years put him in office, and a very weak GOP challenger in 12 kept him in office.
Obama is the only President that I know of that won re-election by FEWER votes than they won their first term with... GOP should have been able to take him out.. but they didn’t.. But I digress.
The reality is Democrats abandoned the working class white vote in the 90s.... the 2000 election was the warning call.. they ignored it... Had the Dems held WV, FL would not have mattered and Gore would have been president... but instead of realizing and admitting they were on a bad long term course, they just kept at it....
OBama hid the problem for 8 years, but 16 it was no longer able to be hidden.. even though they refused to see it, and to this day still can’t seem to come to grips with it.
The biggest voting block Dems have are white working class voters, yet they have been attacking them and angering and abandoning them, and blaming them for everything for decades.... In attempts to get more votes from other groups.. thinking this group would just stay loyal.... They learned the hard way, you can only piss on a mans leg and tell him its rain for so long before he punches you in the mouth.
The GOP put up Designated Losers in ‘08 and ‘12 to make sure the Usurpation happened.
: )
That have little choice - “Blame Whitey” is what their minority blocs want to hear, and if the Dems piss those loud-mouthed groups off they are in even worse trouble.
Demoncats still have ALOT of WHITE WOMEN. educumacted too
