Yes! [which includes, what he dubs, "the working class"]
Americans want to make money - profit!
It’s more of a sense that [the policies] weren’t helping them.
Wrong.
Americans want government to GET OUT OF THEIR WAY! They don't like government wealth redistribution, out of control spending and punitive taxation (and federal regulation).
The coalition [Republicans] have is again something that looks a lot like 1980: white working class, middle class, and the very wealthy. It’s a coalition that’s very capable of maintaining an edge in local and state elections. I think national elections are still a toss up … But on a local and state level, they really do have an edge, and that’s a very important edge because it’s self-reinforcing.
The Left is concerned, and they should be, about growing GOP strength in state government.
middle class vs working class?
That’s silly. The middle class works. It should be the working classes vs the taking classes(ie the productive vs the non productive).
What is so perplexing about why he is in office? He was put there by a very few highly populated areas in this country - you could count the highest of those on your fingers.
It isn’t hard to understand why they want a popular vote at all and why they hate the Electoral College. The reason why they don’t like a majority of the states under Republican governance is the very same reason they have trouble playing politics nationwide with the Electoral College. They aren’t dispersed enough nationwide to influence them.
The truth of the matter is that they don’t care about regional representation, influences, concerns that states are concerned with. They want dynamic and ubiquitous control brought by pure mob rule - rule by liberals backed by entitlement seekers. Democracy with a small “d”.
Next time one of them says do away with the EC, tell them Okay - lets do away with 2 Senators from Delaware, Rhode Island, NH and all the other low population states, then see what they say. [And yes, I’m aware there are also some low population Republican States, too.]
That would destroy the left’s “bourgeoisie/proletarian” false narrative, to point out that all people who work regardless of income level are the true “working class”.
The word that “proletarian” is derived from meant someone who didn’t work at all and possessed nothing, and only produced offspring. So Marx created the lie that the “proletarians” (our “taking class”) ever were the workers, just to serve his bizarre narrative.
Heh, if this nit doesn’t think the Federal income tax and IRS abuses are a BIG issue, at least potentially, then I invite him to take a look at the Yahoo News online article on the Iowa widow the IRS essentially raped (financially speaking.) There were almost 4000 comments there when I saw the article last night, and at least 99% were very hostile to the IRS, our gov’t, and Income tax IN GENERAL, with most hostile to Obambi too.
...Ok, I sure didn’t read each comment in depth, but, still... On Yahoo?!!
Liberals love to invent classes and divvy the pie up as much as possible, creating programs (embeds) and agencies (bloated government) to keep America divided and thus conquered, whereas We actually define ourselves as white, middle AND working as one faction rather than three.
And the fact that your reply was #3 is indicative of that demographic being a more prevelant thought process than not
He’s in office because the GOP had a dud candidate shoved on them and the voters sat home.
And yes, the Left loves [promotes] chaos, division and mob rule - people want more government when something needs to be “fixed.”
The Left will do anything and everything possible to increase their odds of taking power and control (lie, cheat, steal).
Well, I don’t guess I could argue much with the “staying home” thing...that’s what I’m gonna do if Jeb is the nominee.
You must be mistaken.
Global warming is the biggest threat according to Obama, Kerry and Clinton.
Your third sentence sums them up nicely.
When Barack Obama was first elected president of the United States, it was hard to predict what the coming years had in store....
Hard to predict for who? Anyone who paid attention knew what was coming. America in decline from the economy and foreign policy to government intrusion in all aspects of your life. Anyone caught off guard as to how the world would react as a result of Obama and his ideology is an idiot.
I agree, yet, I do not think most could envision what we’re seeing now. Someone who hates America and who is very willing to act outside the law and the Constitution, can very quickly destroy what took so many others to build.
Universal suffrage destroys every democracy.
“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

Pajama Boy?
Silly article - the author develops a good argument that voter concerns about the economy working and a distrust of government are the causes of the republican take over of state and locals and the big majority in HOR.
Then in one sentence near the end, he asserts that for a repub pres candidate to win, the candidate must avoid any connection to wall street or the tea party.
whaaaa?
“white working class, middle class, and the very wealthy”
Racist whites again to blame.
“Then in one sentence near the end, he asserts that for a repub pres candidate to win, the candidate must avoid any connection to wall street or the tea party.”
I read until I got there and stopped. The middle is just going socialist more slowly. Turning up the heat on the frog but not so much he jumps out.
Just another pillow-biting pajama boy. If ISIS were to attack the US, these libs would be on their knees to welcome their new overlords.
