Clinton will have the support of tens of millions of white men. But she doesn’t need to do any better among them than any Democrat has, and even if she does worse, she’ll probably be completely fine.
That’s because whites are declining as a proportion of the electorate as the country grows more diverse with each passing year. In 1992, just 24 years ago, whites made up 87 percent of the voters, according to exit polls. By 2012 the figure had declined to 72 percent. Since women vote at slightly higher rates than men, white men made up around 35 percent of the voters.Sigh, remember when white Libs were getting thrills down their legs about Obama the great uniter, not a red America or a blue America but the United States of America and all that? But he found out, after doubling the debt in 4 years and trashing the economy, that he could win elections by stoking national disunity, riot and turmoil (at the cost of only a thousand black lives!) Hillary has taken that 2012 playbook and is running with it hard.
Funny, when you seek to unify a coalition with no natural common interests by stoking hate, fabricating faux Hate Crimes and other blood libels to provoke riots... sometimes the Scape Goat gets the message.... unless his name is Laffy!
(Thomas Edsall, NY Times) "In sheer numbers, Clinton has suffered her biggest losses among men, especially white men. The percentage of college-educated white men who said they would vote for her dropped an astonishing 14 points from March to May (from 47 to 33 percent); among white men without college degrees, already a problem area for her campaign, Clinton’s support also fell, from 26 to 14 percent." Guessing Laffy is in that 1/3 who haven't got the memo yet.
