I don't think Trump will win the nomination and if he does he will lose the general election. Trump's supporters are indeed, older mainly white male , blue collar workers, lacking a college education. It is a fact that this group of American workers has not seen an improvement in their real wages since the 1970's. Those of us on the Left should be careful in the words we choose to discuss this section of the electorate, whether in the US or the UK. We might, instead ask the question as to why the Left seems unable to connect with this group of voters. Racial prejudice no doubt plays a part but it can't be the whole story. |
