The Democratic Party’s White Voter Problem

[Geee]

Front Page Magazine:

Hardly a week goes by without some Democratic Party hack putting finger to iPad and swiping out a screed about the Republican Party’s problem with women or minorities.

 

This week it was Debbie Wasserman Schultz with “The GOP’s Woman Problem.”

 

 

Schultz claims that the Republican Party was “rejected again by a bloc of voters that make up more than half of the electorate.” That claim is as real as Schultz’s hair color. The only bloc that rejected Romney was the same bloc that rejected Hillary; the bloc of minority voters who came out in force for Obama.

 

And unless Hillary Clinton also had a “woman problem” they didn’t do it over gender.

 

For example in the South Carolina Democratic primary, Obama beat Hillary among women by 54 to 30. That’s a much bigger split than the one between Obama and Romney among women. While Hillary Clinton beat Obama among white voters, Obama won 78 percent of the black vote.

 

There was no gender gap. There was a racial gap.
