Precinct Data Shows Rich, White Neighborhoods Flipping Democratic in 2016. Will It Last?

'Republicans have been the party of the rich and Democrats the party of the poor for about as long as political scientists have collected data on American elections.

That might not be quite so true anymore, at least among white voters.

Hillary Clinton won the nation’s richest and most exclusive neighborhoods by a wide margin in the 2016 presidential election, according to an Upshot analysis of election results from Ryne Rohla of Washington State University and census data. And Donald J. Trump fared significantly better than Mitt Romney in the white districts that were the least affluent and least educated.

How the vote in white neighborhoods changed, by income'>>>

The really disgusting part is watching the gop kiss his orange arse. He stands for NOTHING, no family values that they supposedly value. As long as he destroys all that he touches, the gop backs him. THEY are complicit in the destruction of this country, and the rise of Putin.From now on, when people think of the republicans, tRump will be the representative. The leader that they hold up as an example. What a JOKE he is, and by association THEY are.
