Perhaps a pipe dream, but I’ve long thought that down the road a conservative separation from the GOP-e could also attract a significant portion of the black community. There are a lot of social conservatives in the black churches. Time will tell.
The “Trump Phenomenon” is the confluence of Americans fed-up with the political professionals, the media and liberal academia.
These inside-the-beltway “aristocrats” still refuse to accept or understand it.
They do so at their own peril.
There are signs everywhere of a major shift in the black and the legal Hispanic community away from leftism towards the right.
Hispanics have a socially conservative bent too, but it never fails to overcome the lure of free sh*t at election time.
If there is a re-alignment it is going to end up looking like most of my Democrat neighbors in Pittsburgh. Social Conservatives rooting for Bernie Sanders economics.
Remember the “Reagan Democrats”
People who claimed to be Democrats but liked an d voted for Reagan.
For pretty much the same reasons Trump is winning.
Reagan had a little more tact, but times were very different
should have said ALWAYS fails to overcome it
There should be a stiff tax on all Democrat bastions in the affluent enclaves of the east and west coasts and the metropolitan mid-west. The Middle Class is sick of paying for their Leftist redistribution schemes, which have done nothing but make Middle Class families struggle and The Poor families implode. It’s time they put their money where Bernie Sanders’ mouth is.
I hate to say it, but I don’t think most Blacks, most Whites or voters in the wider minority community have the capacity to make astute political decisions due to their ignorance of the American Constitutional system.
I have stated here several times recently that this is exactly what we are witnessing, a complete realignment of both political parties.
Considering the electoral demographics, if we just taxed stupidity, we could eliminate the national debt.
Nail on head. The whole Trump phenomenom has told me that small government conservatism is dead. With most people on the right, including the purists, Conservatism was only skin deep. It was based purely on social issues, underneath there was pure New Deal Liberalism on the issues of government and economics.
We are. However, for smaller government, free market conservatives it is our nightmare. We are seeing what I have feared for years, the fusion of social conservatism with leftist economics. It is the New Deal Democrat with the flat top haircut on the Fourth of July. We are finding that all along, that is what those who called themselves conservative wanted.
The democrats are now the weather underground of 1976 and the gopes are now the democrats of 1976.
I think the partisan divide is wider than ever. Democrats are America hating communists, adrift in a morass of hate, relativism and sodomy.
One thing I am noticing, a complete breakdown of the generally accepted “no new taxes” stance that Republicans have held since Reagan.
Trump is proposing to raise taxes on the wealthy. He is doing this because it is popular. Even amongst many Republicans. It’s bad economics but that shift is definitely occurring.
Saw at least one report of a “ Democrats for Trump” bumper sticker
Wonder what results democrat pollsters would get if they asked the question Hillary, Bernie, or Donald?
If the GOPe are the Democrats of 1976, than the Trumpsters are the Democrats of 1956.
I think also you have to consider that these folks have been watching big government Crony Capitalism at work for Wall Street and corporations for a long time. Eventually it starts to sink in that there IS no free market. And if that’s the case, the next logical move is to tilt the un-free market in a direction more in my favor.
...alleged birthplace Hawaii...
The next biggest (at 5 points) were in Virginia and North Carolina, where the Obama campaign rallied high-education newcomers and larger-than-national-average black populations to the polls.
On the ground reports indicate that some poling places had more black voters show up than the entire population of blacks in that precinct.
Exactly
