1. I was glad to hear that he doesn't have a "white working class" problem. Most of them....

the "white working class" are Republicans, in the first place. For the remainder, who vote Dem. sometimes, Obama's "problem" seems to be a geographic problem (Appalachia & thereabouts). Otherwise, the Democratic "white working class" vote for Obama in almost as many numbers as they vote for Hillary. And in some states, more of that group voted for Obama than for Hillary.

I'm sooooo glad to hear someone finally discuss the realities of this spin put out by the Clinton camp.

Finally....the "blue collar working class" in America is not mainly white. It is mainly minority.

Now, what about that "African American" problem that Hillary has? How 'bout that "white educated" group that Hillary has trouble attracting? The first group is soundly Democratic....up til now. The second group can be Democratic, but also the swing voters called Independents, and moderate Republicans. They vote Democratic only when they like the Dem. candidate....like Obama.
