GOP’s Hold On White Working Class Traps Liberals With An Electoral College Nightmare (Even With Favorable Demographic Shifts)
Matt Vespa | February 22, 2017
So, it took Hillary Clinton’s upset loss to Donald Trump to get the Democrats and their allies in the liberal media to notice: Barack Obama might have just been a good candidate, but he wasn’t good for the Democratic Party. In eight years, over 1,000 congressional, gubernatorial, and state legislature slots have been lost to Republicans. They’ve lost control of Congress; the White House is now Republican, and two-thirds of the governorships are Republican.Plus, a whopping 69/99 state legislatures are controlled by Republicans. It’s a total collapse. In fact, former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich aptly noted that his party is now on life support, while The American Interest said that one of the biggest losers for the 2016 cycle was the notion of the so-called emerging Democratic majority. A lot of these red flags for the Democrats were raised in January, but here’s the cold hard truth: the Democratic Party is in exile, restricted to their coastal and urban strongholds, which are not enough to win back House seats, Senate seats, and possibly the presidency.
That’s the doomsday scenario for the Left: Democrats increase their share of the popular vote, but still lose presidential elections because the voter surge occurs in areas that don’t matter. In other words, we all know California is going for the Democrats and while they may add 3 to 6 million more to the Democratic popular vote total (just using this figure as an example)—it doesn’t translate into more electoral votes which is the only area that matters in a presidential election. Alex Seitz-Wald of NBC News had a lengthy post in January about how the Democrats’ hold on America has collapsed, along with how their demographics theory that supposedly projected liberal dominance was torpedoed by Trump. Most importantly, Seitz-Wald zeroes in on a fact that was fundamental to Obama’s success in 2008 and 2012: non-college educated whites were the linchpin of the Obama coalition—and it’s exactly the demographic the Democrats need to connect with to mount a comeback:

University classifies 'news literacy' class as general education course
"It's become this extremely relevant topic now because of the environment that we're in and the whole idea of alternative facts and fake news and all that," said journalism professor Steve Fox, who has taught the class for three years, according to WBUR.

I don't know many more left than me.
I don't think most Trump supporters are deplorable.
I don't think most if any of the Trump cabinet are scumbags.
I don't think the first lady is a hooker and have seen no evidence she ever was one. Or have I seen any real news state she was one.
I don't think most people who disagree with me are liars, homophobes or racists.
I do think the statement you made is idiotic and below your ability.

Lying eyes is just painting portraits with crop dusters again.
You are a reasonable person, Andy.
Horribly warped in your sense of political direction, but reasonable in your social manner.
If I had to guess, I'd bet you aren't a bad salesman

I am an amazing salesman and have received the accolades to back that up.
As far as my sense of what a government should do, Medicare for all, public schools, public roads, working public safety and a strong military are all clearly legally available to us under the current Constitution. I just think we should as a society fund these things. I am amused you find that warped.
