#1 They own all these problems. Every one of them. If there was a problem, they created it. They are an eternal act of fixing the problems they create, all more magnificent than the last.

I miss the days when democrats were angry at us for freeing the slaves and allowing them to vote.

all of you ignorant "liberal" fascists may eat it. You are all full of shit and have been since the beginning of time.

Bunch of halfwits using hearsay to bear false witness is all you are. Nothing else.

#2 There are only 2 constituencies that matter in a democracy. Those who pay the taxes, and those who receive the monies handed out by the government.

The so called Left Right divide is just a vestigial Marxist concept.

All Trump has to do is to reduce the money flows to those recipients and it automatically shrinks the constituency. Particularly government employees.

#3 I mean, the laws were originally designed to help African-Americans move away from what they call the badges of slavery. It was the 13th amendment, a slavery amendment -- it expanded to the point where it’s anybody who doesn’t happen to be white was included in these diversity programs.

Jim what's your recollection about when the time was when slavery involved blacks and then switched to whites. Who was the Party of racism involved in the slavery of both races? Just what is it about the Democrats that has a fetish for slavery?

Strange, I've noticed the exact same thing with my bird feeder. I begin saving about $7.50 per week once I stop feeding in the early spring. Amazingly, they stop coming as well.

#5 "...white working people feel like they have become a "whipping post" for the Democratic Party’s "interest group politics," which has made them think Democrats don’t like them."

No shit, Sherlock. The entire "progressive" establishment has been blaming white people-- ALL white people, especially white males-- for years for all of America's problems, so we've started to realize that Democrats don't just not "like" us, but actively HATE us (unless we vote Democrat, of course).

#6 "become" ???

Yes, beginning sometime around the 1962-1973 time frame, with frequent reinforcement from both parties of the Federal Gov't.

#7 No Jim...close but not quite. It's not about "like" so much as it's about respect. The white working-class heard and read Clinton's words clearly. If they (many lifetime Democrats) didnt vote for the candidates that subscribe to Progressive policies they were deplorable racists. Oh and by the way, they may lose their jobs because she's gonna close down the industries her wealthy environmental doners don't aprove of.
