That’s why they are puckering up, especially after the Trump/Labor union love fest the other day. Trump can flip their leaders.
The Blue Collar vote that used to be known as “Joe Sixpack” was ready to go to the Republicans during the Reagan years because of social values and black rioting in the sixties.
Bush Sr. was too blue-blooded to really appeal to them while Clinton was seen as one of them, talked their language (remember his joke about blankets in the PU).
As the Dems move further and further left and away from social values they like such as guns, religion and no political correctness, they could become the permanent base of the Republican party.
And the “Country Clubbers” better get used to it.
