I do not believe it is race or ideology as a whole.
I believe it is that he plays to their general lack of understanding of economics and their general give a $hit less of what happens in America.
And how does he do it? By using the race card whenever he has a chance. This is how he stirs them up. This is something they “think” they understand, but they do not have a clue here either. Only thing they understand is that Obama is feeding and clothing them. Not yours and my tax dollars or the economic growth of the economy.
Obama is a wedge driver, plain and simple. Has been one all his life. Learned it early on and practiced it.
Would they vote for a black conservative over a white liberal? Hell no! Ergo, ideology trumps all. Don't doubt me.
