WADR this could be the dumbest thing and most absurd correlation drawn


I've ever seen posted here. OK, you were probably D a little more R than that but since I put WADR, I'm told it's all good.

So from '92 to today, we went from 63 to 46 percent of registered voters being white non-college educated. As if this supports the "changing demographic" mantra you guys want to buy protects the Dems hold on power. While there is some truth to that mantra, it has little to do with what this yahoo is portraying. Ummmm, do you think that drop might have something to do with how many more people go to college today than did in '92 and before? That in the subsequent 24 yrs some of those folks from the "Greatest generation" that mostly didn't need to go to college died off and was replaced by millennial voters that were much more likely to have gone to college? That those people didn't disappear or shrink as much as this tries to portray, but rather just became more likely to have a college education.

And from this he (or you) concludes that those white non-college educated voters (which presumably is the entirety of Trump's support) will have little if any impact in the fall because they're already all GOP voters anyway? Really? All those white non-college educated Union guys in the Rust Belt were such stalwart GOPers over the decades. And given this shrinking demographic, it amazes me that such a dwindling solid GOP voter group could lead Trump to record numbers of votes in the GOP primaries. Considering one must allegedly be a white non-college educated moron to support Trump.

It amazes me what you guys will swallow to convince yourselves that Hillary is a lock in the fall because the demographics simply don't work for the party of old white men. I wonder how you'll continue explaining that phenomenon as Bernie takes Hillary to the wire and Trump has a very real shot at being your next POTUS. Hillary's problem is not the shrinking white non-college educated working class voter. Hillary's problem is Hillary.
