Women Flock to Democrats

[Zalatix]

Best to look at white women under the age of 40. Southern white women over the age of 60, or more or less women over the age of 60 that had to have a man as the sole income producer are more to the Republican party. Better to look at women that became stay home wives and raised children without really working as a co-equal wage earner are more to the right. Single mothers that work for a living are more to the left.

In other words traditionalist households vote traditionalist (Republican).

High school drop out black and Latinos - the least educated of all demographics - continue to flock to the Democratic Party. Without high school dropouts the Democratic Party would barely qualify as a 3rd party.

And without white high school dropouts the GOP would be a 5th party.

Whatever makes you sleep at night champ. Ironically, I hope the GOP powers that be are thinking the way you do. Guarantees the Dems will win in 2020.

The average House gain over the last 50 or so years is 37 seats. Dems got 40. They went backward in the Senate. They flipped about 250 state legislative seats, almost all in states won by Hillary. It was a decent showing not the tidal shift the Dems are claiming. They were so far down in state legislatures and governorships that they had to rebound at some point.

and the rebounding will continue. Let me repeat this again, despite the gerrymandering, the Dems won the most house seats while a GOP president was in office since the Nixon days. Remember 2008? History repeats itself. Oh, and the Dems this mid-term received nearly the same amount of votes that Trump received when he won in 2016, and this is despite the Dems never showing up in the same numbers during the mid-terms as they do in presidential election years.

Oh, and for the first time since 2008, Independents voted Dem, and they did so by a large amount. And unlike Obama, who won in 2012 despite losing independent voters, the GOP cannot NOT win an election while losing Independent voters. Your parties base isn't large enough, and your orange hero has done absolutely NOTHING to increase it since he's been elected. In fact, he's pissed off Independents so much they went from barely supporting the GOP slightly over the Dems, to giving the GOP a collective middle finger in 2018.

Why would people be pissed off at a good economy, more jobs, new improved trade deals, tackling illegal immigration and standing up for our interests abroad? Any Democrat who did this would be hailed as a miracle worker. The opposition to Trump is against the man, not the results because, by any measure, the results are good.
