And I think that, so many times, white — non-college-education — educated white males have voted Republican. They voted against their own economic interests because of guns, because of gays, and because of God, the three G’s, God being the woman’s right to choose. --House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to Judy Woodruff in an interview Wednesday
What Nancy Pelosi said isn't necessarily a new idea: the theory that white, working class men vote Republican because of social issues and -- from Democrats' perspective -- to the detriment of their economic interests.
But it is worth taking a closer look this year. Hillary Clinton is struggling mightily this campaign with white men, who, according to Washington Post-ABC News polling, are supporting Trump by higher margins than they did for Mitt Romney in 2012; 77 percent of them hold an unfavorable view of the Democratic nominee. And there's a possibility the presidential race will be played out in the Rust Belt and Midwest, where there is a higher concentration of white, working class men.
While we can't ask every white, non-college-educated man who they're voting for and why, we can get an idea of how strongly they feel about the three issues Pelosi pointed out. So let's do that.
Do non-white working men feel more strongly about...

Is she ever right?
Thank you for that. THAT made me SMILE.
Trump really is not that into the God or guns thing. As for the gay, I don’t find him that physically attractive.
I have several degrees which is probably more education than Nancy “Baby.” I’m very conservative and always have been.
Guns, gays and God sounds like 3 good reasons to me. What would she substitute that would change their minds?
According to the DNC emails, guns, gays and God seem to be the three things Dems would like to eliminate
So, nice try at redirection, Pelosi, but no Cuban Cigar for you

I would tend to think that people who vote Democrat are uneducated because they fall for the BS promises of free stuff — trinkets for the natives — and don't realize that nothing is free. Not complicated but it does take a little thought.
And Democrats have failed miserably in following through on their promises. And no, Obamacare doesn't count because it has created an absolute mess of our healthcare system.
Pelosi, nothing can stop her from showing off her stupid.
Can’t wait to read of her demise.
She can join Hanio Jane at the end of my piss stream someday.
She doesn’t even sneeze she will never die.
Sounds sexist, racist, and bigoted to me.
To the detriment of their economic interests...

I think I will vote with Franklin over Madame LeFarge...ER, Pelosi.
Russia and China will be holding joint Naval exercises while they also meet in the “Nautical Room” reading Hillary’s emails and playing her voice mails and laughing over the “most qualified person to lead” the United States into a pancake house fund raiser.
Does she and Obama even think they can protect themselves much less fellow Americans after all the things they have done and will do to weaken us? Does Obama seriously think he can live in his mansion in Hawaii and maybe not have the Chinese military drop a bomb on his house just before they declare the “liberation” of the Hawaiian Islands from “colonialism”? How about Hillary’s luxury condo in New York City? That’s not going to be up in smoke by ISIS? They cannot even protect themselves BECAUSE of themselves much less us, and they don’t even have a clue about it yet.
The only way they will likely be protected and get out of this with their heads still attached is some real leaders take their place.
And I would like to ask these two, and dithering Pelosi, do they think the Black Lives Matter thugs and ilk and the hordes of illegal aliens waving Mexican flags are going to be on the side of America or collude and join the side of our enemies in the ugly battle for our survival as a free nation that is to come? Will they be like the defenders of Israel or like the Palestians in Israel?
Does Nancy Pelosi really think white lives don’t matter when even her walls around her mansion won’t be tall enough?
Do these people think it is better to deal with all of this and be a third world country at the same time?
Nanzi, we have to elect Donald Trump
before I can tell you why I like Donald Trump.
How many skyscrapers has the educated Pelosi built ?
Nancy calls herself a Catholic. She is not. She doesn’t KNOW God at all this kind of drivel coming from her mouth. Prayers for her. God gives us all choices, and hers is the sacred ground of abortion rights. Very sad.
Two outta three is good enough for me.
