No, they aren’t. If your political ideology includes raising taxes on the wealthy at all, it is ridiculous to say you are center right.

I’m sorry but this is just delusional. Bernie got annihilated by HRC among minorities. The notion that, at the margins, he wouldn’t have lost even more of the minority vote than she did relative to Obama is not based in a realistic evaluation of the facts available.

I mean, mayyyyyybe.

On balance, relative to the prior election, uneducated whites (which correlates with poor though not perfectly of course) absolutely contributed to him winning.

That’s a fair distinction. Still, that just makes it even more compelling. “See, even terrible reality television stars can be President!”

Well, for starters, they shouldn’t be role models because for 99.9% of the populace, what they have achieved is physically unattainable. At no point in my life would I have ever had the physical ability to be an NBA basketball player.

Dream Renee Kardashian. With any luck, she’ll grow up with no memory of a Donald Trump presidency.

This should be interesting. Given how little it was discussed during the election cycle, you can definitely see that this particular bloc of the Republican base is the bloc that Trump fastidiously ignored during the general election.

White people didn’t vote for Trump in significantly enough greater numbers than they did for Romney to absolutely be determined to be the only reason Trump won where Romney lost though.

Except to view them as your enemy isn’t all that helpful. As you note, they aren’t out on the streets, burning crosses & whatnot.

Yes, there were.

I’m not sure that post was trying to apportion blame, but regardless of that, are you actually disputing the facts displayed there?

Ha. “Did I stutter” made me picture Jesus as Stanley from the office.

Blame is an interesting thing. Can white people be blamed? Yes.

Aren’t we sort of in fool me dozens of times now territory, with respect to white people voting the way they do?

Hey, look, I’m not all that optimistic about it either. I said they were our “best hopes” not that they were great options.

So, basically, I pegged it right the first time. I find it hard to believe you’ve ever experienced real, meaningful hardship once in your life, and for the most part, the people around you haven’t either.

Everything is relative. She is consistently one of the 5-10 Republicans willing to drift across the aisle when it is needed to pass important legislation.
