5. i didn't answer you because your post was long and i needed time for a lengthy response.

so here are the few things

1. The real white poor voted for clinton, the people we call WWC are not really poor whites. There is data showing that Clinton won among whites who were actually economically anxious not culturally anxious.

i can find that for you, if you'd like.

2. There were things that went against Clinton that were insane and unlikely to happen again (FBI director intervening, Russian interference). These things happened to her and her only, but did not happen to Quist.

Plus, DJT has been in power, and that changes dynamic (typically the party of the president starts losing power)

3. I believe that supporting economically progressive values would help the white poor as much as the black poor, hence i am not articulating a message of economic conservatism.

4. i am saying that you need to prioritize people who can be easily moved, instead of trying to chase people who don't want you.
