    Pretty obvious. White men don't drink the Kool Aid.

    They do. They win educated white men. The problem is to win uneducated white men. The other side makes them think that their problem is illegal immigration.

    They can't imagine that when we get rid of the illegal immigrants, they will still have the same problems. They will also not want the jobs the illegal immigrants have for low wages.

    Trump is waving a dangling carrot in front of them on a string. However, if he wins, they will not get the carrot.

    What are you talking about.  There are plenty of white men democrats.  They don't win old brain-dead white men.  But they have plenty of the other kind as a rule.

    Good morning Rosie...

    Well, according to Marguerite and Sharonna, and I might add a majority of democrats on this site,  it is because I possess neither the education or brain cells to see the wisdom of being a democrat...

    Now, while I find both sharonna and marguerite very unique and likeable,  I also find their comments mostly inaccurate and incoherent, devoid of fact and reason. I find it a bit racist to suggest because I am old and white and a republican I must be inferior. I guess they do not see the irony in using race and age as a reason in their accusation of being racist.."All you white men are racists"

    So my dear, if you are wondering why dems aren't winning white men, and I have to disagree with the premise, it could be that people dont react to well to insults.. "Aww Come on over to our side, you uneducated, braindead, racist homophobe"

    Democrats are "fighting" for women, lgbt, minority, immigrants, every single group EXCEPT white men, and they are loud and proud of it.

    By the same reasoning, you cannot say " poor people are lazy" and expect poor people to embrace you...so its not just the dems...and it is certainly not all dem's

    as always, have a great day..

    Hello there Marguerite,,

    Please realize that I am commenting as an uneducated republican, so forgive me...

    So you seem to believe that if you are an immigrant, illegal or otherwise, th only position you can achieve is that of a field worker or maid. Hmmmm....

    It is not just illegal immigration, all of whom are not sub wage occupations, look at the building industry, It is the immigration policy as a whole. It is that most citizen college graduates in the STEM fields cannot find jobs because of the flood of immigrants. Its not just people swimming across the rio grande, it is all the people staying beyond their visa expiration.

    There are credible studies that suggest, and backed up by the governments own numbers, that most of the job growth in the past 15 years have gone to immigrants. So its a bit more complicated than "OMG, whos gonna pick our lettuce"

    Why do you only see things in their most basic of forms., "White men are uneducated", "They only know how to do manual labor".."They all think like this"...

    Now I know the basket of carrots Hillary is promising to every specific group but white men, women, lgbt, minorities, immigrants, Now you tell me what promise Trump has made specifically to white people...

    Hello des:

    What's up?

    As a dedicated white male liberal, I'm COMMANDED to fight for the downtrodden..  It's in the manual, you know..  Look..  I'll jump in if you can just SHOW me where white men are being discriminated against LIKE any of the groups you mentioned.. Exactly what civil rights have YOU been denied?? 

    I do agree with you, however..  White men ARE losing something..  It's called white privilege.

    Hello again, des:

    Hope you get your bike soon..

    As far as your argument goes, I ain't buying it..  I asked if you, personally, had been discriminated against.  Apparently not, so, you throw up this red herring about affirmative action..  When the Supreme Court voted in favor of gay marriage, it was because the plaintiffs argued that THEY suffered damages because gays can marry.  It was an oft used argument by the anti crowd, but the plaintiffs couldn't offer any PROOF whatsoever of it's validity..  I want to know specifically HOW affirmative action negatively impacted YOU.

    As a matter of fact, the Supreme Court just ruled in FAVOR of affirmative action..  Ipso facto, it CAN'T be discrimination..

    The statistics show that to be true. That is if the statistics are accurate. 57% of white men vote Republican des. If the statistic is specious then I cannot address that . So WHY don't 57% of white men vote Democratic? Thank you for your reply des! :)

    The statistic I have heard repeatedly excon is that 57% of white men vote Republican. If that statistic isn't true then my question is invalid. But assuming it is true my question is why? Thank you for your reply and Happy Sunday! :)

    Mornin ex..

    They have promised to have the bike ready by wed. so im keeping my fingers crossed. Its a new bike and I haven't been able to ride it yet, so maybe next weekend I can get out on it.

    I live in the best ridin area around. On any given weekend there will be hundreds of riders that come up here to ride these roads...

    Anyways, are you saying that I can only comment on laws to which I have personally been victim to. I have never been murdered, I have never been raped or carjacked, Would any comment I were to make on those things also be a red herring.

    AS to your last statement, does this mean I can look forward to you no longer commenting on gun control...uh uh..the Supreme court said it is a right...end of discussion...right..

    Citizens United..Shhhhh...The court ok'd it...corporations are people..Right?
