"The Dangerous Myth that the White Working Class Didn't Hear Hillary's Message?"

Hillary won a solid majority of <$50K working class voters and STILL there is a certain group of Hillary supporters who still want to blame working people for her loss.

Could this be because "someone" doesn't want to blame the white suburbanites making $75K+ (a/k/a "Reagan Democrats&quot who voted in a majority which crossed gender lines for a unabashed racist/misogynist/xenophobic/Islamophobic/homophobe?

Is there any faction within the Democratic Party that has been preaching since 1992 that we can "reach out" to white suburbia with policies like favoring capital punishment, favoring welfare reform, favoring only minor changes to the tax system, favoring monetary policy that will grow their 401K's, etc that might not want to talk about how their target audience are irredeemable pond scum and that is why they left our party in the first place?

Is there?
