So why are poor people voting Republican? Or should I have qualified it and said, poor white people?
I do agree with you about poor people not voting in the same numbers as rich. But that won't make any difference as the numbers of poor increase.
This is misleading.
10%of 10 is 1.
5% of 90 is 4.5.
Inner cities with a lot of black, Latino and other ethnic minorities did vote Democrat. In the Mid-West did poor white people swing it for Trump?
Can a candidate unite Americans on the income level rather than the colour of their skin?
Or should that be when will a candidate unite Americans on the income level rather than the colour of their skin?
I don't believe Democrats have done much to look after the poor and up to the lower middle-class Americans. They want decent paying jobs not handouts.
