As more post-election data comes in, we can see that president-elect Trump turned a lot of Democrat voting blocks this time around, including a pretty big one.
Trump turned blue collar America red.
"They were forced to turn red because the political class wasn't listening to them anymore" said Karl Kastel, a political commentator who wrote about it for American Thinker.
It's a huge voting block, and one of the many, that this new radical progressive Democrat party left behind.
"Blue collar America makes up somewhere around 63% of the population, so they're a large voting block" Kastel told KTRH, "But they've been ignored by Washington D.C. for years now."
The Dems thought they had blue collar Americans in the bag, but Trump proved them wrong literally, with all of his campaign stops.
"He wasn't shy to go out and meet the people where they were" noted Kastel, "He wasn't shy to work in McDonald's for a day or ride in a garbage truck, and he's one of the few politicians that did that where other were just ignoring that large voter block."
It's all part of the Dems disconnect. You can read Karl's column at the link below:
