I work with a bunch of blue collar guys in Kentucky that make $80,000 a year and that goes a long way here. It's not about economics, it's cultural, it's about White male anxiety and angst. They as well a black and hispanic men are drifting away because they want to believe the Republicans will produce an economy so dynamic and robust a solid middle class standard of living will "trickle down" to all. That will never happen in the American economy, not anymore. They want to believe the Republicans will return to "traditional" social structures and that will solve problems like crime, drugs. It won't. My point is you won't get these guys back in some comprehensive overhaul of Democratic politics or positions, the best you can hope for is to peel away a significant enough number, 5 or 10%, to win the next election
