Identity politics/demographics
I listened to a Dem strategist this morning.
He was saying that the era of Trump is making the electorate even more polarized.
He said that Trumpers are becoming almost exclusively white males over 40 with no college degree
He said the older and more rural and more religious they are, the more likely they are to be a Trumper.
College educated suburban women under 40 that once identified as strongly Repub are abandoning the party because of their dislike for Trump. Many won’t vote Dem but just won’t vote.
Unmarried women under 40 are almost all Dems or Independents now.
The hold your nose 👃 voters are starting to struggle more and more with Trump.
They know he is a liar and they think he is an embaassment. They hate his trade policy and cozying up to Russia.
These are the wealthy, educated Repubs who hate Trump personally but they love lower taxes and business regulations and business friendly corporate Judge Nominations.
These people are now open to voting for a pro business type moderate Dem such as Phil Bredesen in Tennessee.
