Just an observation. I think blue collar, working class Democrats take a more realistic view of the country than their college educated elitist counterparts. Ask a blue collar white Democrat voter in Youngstown, OH, or in Pittsburgh what they think of gay marriage, gender benders using the bathrooms of their choosing, and illegal immigration. We might be surprised to know they’re not adhering to their party line on any of those issues. They still vote for the person with a D by their name out of long standing tradition and they still have the mindset that Republicans are for the rich and the Democrats are for the little guy like them, but these are not people who will have much in common with BLM or La Raza. These are the people who will decide the election, and Trump is the first Republican since Reagan to have mass appeal among them.

It is not they vote Democrat, they just stop voting until recently, who do you think is showing up to the Republican primary in droves? These guys. Some of these people haven’t voted in decades or never voted before because they never had a reason to. Until now.

These poll numbers showing the race “close” will help Trump more then Crooked Hillary, Crooked Hillary has no enthusiasm in her campaign, she believes she will just squeak by a win, like she did with Bernie, if it wasn’t for paid off super delegates, she wouldn’t even win her party’s nomination. However on the Trump side, he has very passionate followers that is growing daily, he has people who want to win, this will become a big asset for him. The energy is on the Trump side.

Good thoughtful points. The phenomena of Reagan Democrats comes to mind.
