Let's Discuss the Democrat Party Conundrum Regarding White Male Voters

The Dims aren't going to alienate their hardcore liberal and minority bases. They'll ramp up turnout and hope that moderates will stay home. The trick for the Dims will be holding onto enough Latino voters while not running a Latino for President. Latinos are already thinking it's now their turn.

NEWSMAX: White Males bailing on Trump -- Approval down 9pts in a month

The democrats are creating the reverse of the the so called GOP southern strategy. Their candidates will soon be expected to white bash, except not in code words as they accused republicans of doing. Democratic candidates must now actively bash whites if they are to be accepted by the progressive wing.

Reagan got the blue collar Midwestern voters. But the GOP could not keep them.

I've been hoping most of my adult life for The Great Trade -- the Dems can have the Northeast libertine country clubbers like Romney if the GOP gets the Midwest. If the GOP emphasizes cultural issues maybe this time they can keep the heartland.

The GOP does not need to go backwards to bible beating. It needs to be the party of realists versus the Khmer Rouge progressive fundamentalists.

Hold pat and let Trump treat labor the way he has always treated labor...and they will be right back in the fold....

This past election season was like no other in history because whether we care to admit it or not we are all being manipulated in one form or other. Economically, politically, culturally and monetarily via globalization of the United States economy and unchecked immigration that is changing the very fabric and underpinnings of our society. Political labels increasingly do not matter. As a result of all these changes the political mood of the country has slowly shifted to the left. This has come with unintended consequences. There was wide spread disaffection in both main political parties. The Republican electorate overwhelming rejected what were perceived establishment candidates. Even the Democrats in what we all know was a stacked deck against any insurgent candidate saw the rise of insurgent candidate Bernie Sanders. Mrs. Clinton's challenge was managing the damaged reality inflicted by the policies she had pledged to continue. Simply stated, the Obama-Clinton economic policies had failed and we the people regardless of political affiliation down deep know this.
When over 70% of the country feel we as a country are on the wrong track you know things are bad.

We have a significant proportion of a population who chooses not to express their views, often because of outright apathy or because they do not believe their views matter. This silent majority expressed their dissatisfaction this electoral cycle.
As a result, the Republican party stands at a crossroad. The establishment Republicans don't want change, at least not the kind they always talk about. They want status quo regardless of their rhetoric.
Under Trump, the Republican party is going to be remade and it is already in the process of doing so. Establishment Republicans are fighting more against the insurgent Trump than Democrats.
This is because they are more aligned with their views.
As the country has shifted more to the left the new reality that is emerging is right-wing conservatives (Tea Party types)are slowing being marginalized.
Centrist democrats are being pushed out of their party and moving into the Republican party. I believe Trump's political views lie somewhere here.
I believe Donald Trump (like him or not)is committed to affecting the change he campaigned on.
Voters want change. We are not far removed from the silent majority sticking their middle finger at the ruling class and corporate media that dominates American politics.
After all, Massachusetts (the bluest of the blue states) elected Scott Brown to keep Democrats from having control of the Senate. That was a wave election. This is the continuation. White centrist democrats are going to keep voting for Trump. Democrat identity politics have destroyed their own loyal voter base. The white voter base will be silent no longer. How could they be when these voters are called bigots, racists, homophobes, islamophobes and misogynistic by their former party all because they are white?
Democrats are going to continue their very left of center views and jobs are not their priority. Those disaffected centrist democrats and union voters no longer have a home in the democrat party.

Democrats can't win them back without betraying all the victim groups that they have been courting for years. The only way they get the white males is if the GOP drives them away, which is always possible.
