Vladimir Putin Mocks The Democrats

This is why we love Putin in this household.

How in the world is Russia to blame for the Democrats losing White voters? They’ve been steadily losing White voters for generations. It is because of their own message, not anything Russia is doing. Mitt Romney actually won a greater share of the White vote in the 2012 election.

Remember when Bill Clinton could win West Virginia, Arkansas, Georgia and Kentucky? Remember when Al Gore lost the 2000 election because he lost Tennessee? Remember when John Kerry lost every Southern state in 2004? As Putin points out below, how could you look at the Southern state legislatures or congressional delegations and not conclude that the Democrats have a massive problem with White voters?

The only thing that has changed is that Trump performed much better with Northern White voters than Republican candidates have in the recent elections. That’s because he was a more secular candidate, the anti-war candidate and above all else because his free-trade message resonated in the Rust Belt. It’s not really surprising either given the inroads Republicans had already made in Wisconsin and Michigan.
