How the Democrats lost the working class voters

 American Action News:

Conservative radio host Dana Loesch said on Fox Business Tuesday that there’s a reason why blue-collar workers left the Democratic Party.

During an appearance on “The Bottom Line,” Loesch said that for years, the Democratic Party counted blue-collar workers among its staunchest supporters—until the 2016 election cycle. As these workers shifted their allegiance away from former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Loesch said that Democrats turned on them.

“Democrats were happy to have them until the moment they turned up their noses at Hillary Clinton because they didn’t like what she was offering. And then, in a split second, Democrats began maligning the character of this voting bloc, this blue collar worker, hard working class, middle-class voting bloc,” Loesch said. “They began running them down, impugning their characters, calling them racists and bigots because they didn’t vote for the old white lady who fell down in Manhattan and lost a Tory Burch slipper.”
...

Loesch questioned the Democratic Party‘s future electoral strategy, especially as they attempt to distance themselves from billionaire influencers.

“The idea that they’re going to be the party of the working class now, I love this sound bite that you all played coming into this, because the gentleman speaking was saying we’re going to separate billionaires from the Democrat Party,” Loesch said. “Well, if they do that, how are they going to run anybody going up into 2028? Because their heir apparent is a billionaire, Cuomo.”

Loesch also said she sees a double standard.

“I noticed that they didn’t object with George Soros, with Ted Turner, with Warren Buffett, with Newsome, with Pelosi, with the Gettys, with the Hearsts, all of these people that have come together to form the modern Democrat Party. The working class left because decades and generations of Democrat policies have failed Americans,” Loesch added.
...

I am a retired corporate lawyer, but I left the Democrat party for the same reason that many working-class voters did.  It is always a mistake to be critical of your own voters.  That is especially the case when they are trying to tell you what they do and do not support.  There is also the fact that the Biden administration triggered the highest inflation in decades which hurt voters of all classes.  Who wants to vote for raising the price of goods and services from 10 to 20 percent?

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
