But there are more poor whites than poor blacks. A lot more, depending on the state.Quote:

I did a Google search for "poor people by demographic state" to get those numbers. Those poor whites are not voting for Democrats, unless they are right-wing Democrats which don't really exist anymore (neither do left wing Republicans).
That's a pretty wild ass assumption. That's like saying all of those poor whites are racist or whatever. What about the poor white women? Are they all voting for the GOP?Quote:

It's actually not saying anything or anyone is racist. This is just how it is. Republicans have a lot of support in the poorest regions of the country.
I don't dispute your last point, but if women are 50+%, and 55% of them voted GOP, then even if every man did too, that's still roughly a quarter of the white population who didn't.
Anecdotally, I would say most of the poor whites aren't bothering to vote at all.
I suspect their motivation to support a New England Mormon was somewhat limited.
