A Forlorn Hope

Los Angeles Times' political reporter Doyle McManus writes about Democratic efforts to regain the lost votes of their former core constituency - non-college white males. It is unlikely the Democrats will succeed.

Non-college white males are exactly who Obama was talking about when he famously complained:
They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
I promise you the nation's non-college white males knew exactly who Obama meant, who his enemy was - them. Now Democrats want these fellows' votes? After forcing them to compete with millions of illegal immigrants? Good luck with that - I give it roughly the same chance as snowflakes in Hades.
