Comments to Steve Sailer<\/a>:<\/p>\n

* Well, this election might be the clearest in history on immigration. Deport them all versus Deport none. If the American people don\u2019t choose right, we\u2019ll know they get what they deserve.<\/p>\n

* The main reason that the Dem candidates cannot go against immigration is that the media will roast them if they do. Trump went against immigration, and then defied the media successfully after being roasted for going against immigration.<\/p>\n

But what worked for Trump will not work for the Sanders and clinton. The Dem base is all about conformity these days. Being a Dem means falling in line with whatever dogma the elite are pushing. However, the GOP base these days is all about defying elite dogma.<\/p>\n

These roles have reserved from the way it was a few decades ago.<\/p>\n

* Jesus! These two f@#$ers really are looking to wipe out white America! I thought Sanders was more sensible than that on immigration. I guess I\u2019ll turn my sights on Trump. Trump or nothin\u2019.<\/p>\n

* I liked when one of the moderators said something to the effect of, \u201cAfter all, Latinos don\u2019t just care about immigration \u2013 they care about the economy, and jobs\u201d, as if there was no connection.<\/p>\n

I still don\u2019t understand why Sanders flipped on immigration. You\u2019re not going to win every demographic group, and he\u2019d be able to win a higher share of the white and black vote by arguing that fewer Latin American immigrants means more jobs, higher wages, and more government benefits for those already here.<\/p>\n

As Mr Trump\u2019s candidacy gathers steam, his campaign is drawing support from white, working-class voters frustrated with the economy and with the Washington ruling class which they believe has ceased to represent their interests.
\nAmong them are a large group of Democrats and Democratic-leaning Independents, such as Mr Shulsky. According to a survey by Civis Analytics, Mr Trump fares best among self-identified Republicans who are actually registered Democrats (43 per cent). This demographic has already been a crucial support group for Mr Trump in the Republican primaries, and could play an even more important role in the general election.
\nIn Michigan, Mr Trump drew support from disaffected white voters in areas such as Macomb County, a region populated by Democrats that crossed over to support Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. His 12 percentage-point margin of victory there suggests he can do well in other Midwestern states. It mirrors recent wins among that demographic in Massachusetts and Virginia, where he also did well among working-class whites.<\/p>\n

While Mr Obama won in 2008 and 2012 by building a diverse coalition of voters and drawing more young people, women and minorities into the Democratic party, that strategy has isolated some white, working-class voters who no longer feel represented, said Lara Brown, a political-science professor at George Washington University.
\n\u201cThe Democrats decided to walk away from that group of voters,\u201d she said. \u201cObama couldn\u2019t bowl at all. He was talking about arugula.\u201d
\nWhile some of America\u2019s urban centres see the improving job figures in their day-to-day lives, some smaller towns have not. \u201cYou have a lot of blue-collar industries that have been decimated. And many of the voters in places like western Massachusetts and Ohio and Pennsylvania have seen years and years of economic distress. We can see that in the western part of Virginia,\u201d Ms Brown said.<\/p>\n

Daniel Catoe, a 26-year-old construction worker, said he had voted for Mr Obama in 2008 but had been disappointed by the slow economic recovery and his rising healthcare costs, which had doubled under the Affordable Care Act.
\n\u201cI haven\u2019t pulled a 40-hour week in six months. I\u2019ve got a mortgage and a kid and a wife to support,\u201d Mr Catoe said. \u201cTrump just seems like he understands what we\u2019re out here fighting and working for.\u201d
\nFollowing his sweeping victories in Michigan and Mississippi on Tuesday night, Mr Trump paid special homage to the Democrats and Independents who were now supporting him.
\n\u201cThe biggest change is what is happening in the polls,\u201d Mr Trump said. \u201cWe have Democrats coming over. We have Independents coming over\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009We will take many, many people away who normally go Democrats. We will have people come over here and who have never, never voted Republican.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
