Do you consider Florida, Penn, Mich, NC, VA, CO, Ohio, WIsconsin, NV, NH and Iowa having a lot of White Nationalists?
I read today that Hillary is blaming Comey for her loss. I think a lot of Dems still haven't accepted why they lost this election.
Michigan has a lot of white nationalists? I think We have more black nationalists. YOU are racist.
You'd think the Dems would have had their fill of the Clintons by now so they can retool, but I'm also reading that Chelsea is being groomed for a congressional run.
In the most general sense, Americans. I think we have enough info to be more specific that that though.
Hillary did not excite people. Both were weak candidates but Hillary lost a lot of BO votes. Trump did much better at keeping the Romney voters.

I take it you didn't read the story in the OP. Because minority voters didn't really "cross over" to Trump, not in significant numbers at least. Trump's appeal to minorities remained almost as low as predicted.
You said it brother!Oh, and liberal elites: Please keep referring to them as "Uneducated whites". That's going to help a lot. Just great.
First off, it's not "uneducated" in the demographic breakdown, it's people without a college degree. Calling them "uneducated" is so ####### insulting. How stuck up do you have to be to let that cross your lips? Seriously. They went to school. They might have GEDs, they might have gone to trade school, they're not "uneducated". They are working class blue collar workers who need help. Not to be looked down upon. Yeah, they know Obama created five million jobs, they're each working three of them. Uneducated? Because they didn't go to some fancy state school because their parents weren't rich and they needed to take care of little kids or sick family members or they just didn't get the opportunity. Because they're working their ##### off just making rent.
"Uneducated"
You're talking about people who can re-wire up to code the electrical inside a pre-war house or flush an A/C system. You really think sitting in some liberal arts elective three hours a week debating feminist symbolism in a Truffaut film makes you more educated than someone who can rebuild a carburetor? #### you.
They're lucky they didn't lose by more.
I've voted democrat the last 3 elections but this bothered me as well. I was just telling my wife tonight at dinner when we were talking about the election to stop using that phrase.Oh, and liberal elites: Please keep referring to them as "Uneducated whites". That's going to help a lot. Just great.

Well Walking Boot has in multiple threads been operating under the made up by him assumption that any county where Trump gained votes relative to Romney was done via people that voted for Obama last time. As best I can tell his source for that information is himself.
I don't know. The idea of being insulated from real life so that when life doesn't go your way and you're not required to function has a lot of appeal to some people. Who of us hasn't wanted to cancel classes and tests, enjoy hot chocolate and coloring books, and especially pet puppies when life seemed unfair? And get a pretend education!
I get that a lot of people were too disgusted to want to vote for either of them. But, they were such polar opposites, light years distant from each other's positions that I have trouble believing anybody was still undecided when Comey demonstrated that he was as big a goof as everybody else.
Maybe because he was referred to as a racist and sexist for the past YEAR and had condescending comments made about him everyday. I'd say he's entitled to gloat for as much time as he wants. And until liberals stop being condescending, which doesn't appear to be anywhere close to happening, the clock doesn't start.
If my side had won I'd be happy and gloat in a way where it didn't come across like I had a stick shoved up my ###.
In the end I think the Dems lost because their own internal party wouldn't allow Bernie to rise. Basically corruption at the primary level.
Agreed. I think Bernie or even Biden would have defeated Trump. I think the Democrat Party would like to retool after they've caught their breath, and should be able to do so if the Clinton Machine will be content to go make a gazillion dollars. But, I read that Chelsea is being groomed for a congressional seat. The Wikileaks dump suggested that party insiders see her as an entitled, spoiled brat. Do you think another generation of Clinton will help or hurt the Dems makeover?
No, I don't. But that was the risk when Hillary was nominated and it had been a risk since at least July 2015. However how big of an issue was this with blacks & Hispanics to begin with?

They sure as #### do. I couldn't believe how many confederate flags I saw flying in that state, especially considering how far they are from the South. Aside from Detroit, Flint and maybe 1 or 2 other urban centers, the mitten state is super white and super hateful.

I can see it being condescending to refer to those folk as uneducated whites. But it might be a bit of a generational thing too. Something like 70% of millenials go to college not all of them graduate of course. A college degree is pretty much the same as a high school degree a generation or two ago. So if you're a bit older then that might be a bit of it because back then college wasn't something that almost everyone did. I'm not saying someone is less intelligent if they don't go to college (or high school 40 years ago). But we're not exactly talking elite. We're talking 7 out of 10 people. In 1970 around 10% of the population had a college degree. Nowadays it's about 1/3. And much higher among younger folk.Oh, and liberal elites: Please keep referring to them as "Uneducated whites".
