re: Democrats Are Losing the Rust Belt Over This

I'm telling ya...the biggest shocker in 2020 will be Illinois going Red. Believe it!!! Why? Because Democrats think its impossible. High taxes, chiraq, people moving out in droves...Trump needs to go after democrat policies that are killing Illinois. I firmly believe that if Trump can win in Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Pennsylvania...he can get Illinois! What a win that would be

Upvote for this. Didn't read your post. Was too busy laughing.

It's kind of hard to contend you're the champion of blue collar workers and unions any longer when you're ardently advocating for illegal immigrant amnesty because "they will do the low skilled jobs Americans won't do."

It's not just open borders. The Democrats are all in on free trade, which is a change from the past. Free trade benefits both sides on the macro level but the costs are borne almost exclusively by blue collar workers, so they're the ones who lose on the deal.

Then Obama/Pelosi came in and threw trillions in bailouts and subsidies to fat cats. I didn't get any of those checks.

Last straw for me was when they became extreme social issue warriors. The only reason anyone questions the above policies is they're racist sexist homophobes.

And I say that as someone who doesn't care if Bruce Jenner became Caitlyn or two men want to get a piece of paper from the courthouse or someone wants to smoke a joint.

I come from a long line of Rust Belt, blue collar Democrats. This past election I voted for Donald Trump more than I voted for the Republican ticket. As of now, I couldn't be more supportive of Donald Trump. The best news is this, my father, two grandfathers and the biggest surprise of them all, my mother are ALL planning to vote for Trump in the next election...as of tonigh

There's a buncha of PTers over age 55 that came from the Dim party of 40 years ago, my DEMOCRAT party died decades ago. We're in a fight for the sovereignty of the country, most Americans don't want to be part of the Globalist/NWO scam...., frick the leftist who believe the US should emulate the European socialist model.

It's amazing that Trump might have saved the Republican Party and destroyed the Democratic Party. It's incredible. After the Rust Belt, I think the most telling thing is the black male support DOUBLING. The core Democratic platform is identity politics. That doesn't work when people want jobs.

What size coat does the old baw need?

I had to attend a Hillary rally for work a couple of months before the election. The leadership may have been supporting Hillary, but the rank and file construction baws in that audience were all MAGA. As long as Trump doesn't come across as anti-union (which he shouldn't, because he is bringing jobs back to the U.S.), he should dominate the midwest.

We need to send the establishment Republicans to the Democrats and create the Patriot Party. The old Democrat Party could be the SJW Party.
