Not many people in the national press were paying attention to the Democratic presidential primary results in West Virginia on May 8, 2012. Barack Obama was the incumbent president, and few outside local press noticed that Keith Russell Judd, a Texas convict sitting in a federal prison for extortion, had sent in the proper paperwork and paid the $2,500 filing fee necessary to be on the ballot.
Even had they paid attention, chances are no one expected him to have an impact. Yet he won a whopping 41% of the vote in West Virginia’s Democratic primary, earning 72,000 votes to Obama’s 106,000.
While Nelson did not win, his impact was lost because

When it comes to American Black voters, the leftist and socialist Democrats figure that they have that Black vote that they need to win elections "in the bag" so to speak, and is why they have no problem in flooding the Black "communities" in the big leftist and socialist Democrat run so-called "sanctuary cities" with illegal aliens (migrants) who are about to seriously cut into the government provided welfare "pie" that has been going to those "communities" with pieces of that "pie" diverted to unlimited numbers of incoming illegal aliens (migrants) who the leftist and socialist Democrats intend to transform into future leftist and socialist Democrat supporters and voters by the tens of millions in the years ahead. That is evident as the leftist and socialist Democrat Mayors, most of them Black, are pleased as punch to welcome unlimited numbers of incoming illegal aliens into their cities, especially those who are considered to be members of minority groups in accordance with Democrat identity politics, with their only immediate problem being is that they want the Federal Government to send them unlimited billions of Federal tax dollars to pay the costs to resettle whatever illegal aliens arrive.

As usual, an intelligently researched, 'meet the people and talk to them' sort of an actual new story, the kind that Selena Zito excels with.
Let's hope that the Dems continue to spit on a big piece of their old support base. The UAW leadership says that huge numbers of UAW union workers will not vote for Biden. I hope they support Trump.

This is no longer America. This is China. The democratic party do not pay attention so their voters become their voters no longer have a say. We only get news that is made up news by the state. Do a search on any search engine. You will find only news the state wants you to hear. We have lost our voice.

I always make sure to read Salena Zito's pieces because she usually nails it as she has with this one. However where she states that Biden and Clinton made the mistake of being utterly dismissive of the voters, their lives, and contributions to their communities that is incorrect. It was not a mistake at all ..... from the get-go neither one cared one bit about the people. Sure, they made noises during speeches to evince some sincerity but at the heart of it they are sham people down to their core. They care about themselves, maintaining power, and accruing as much wealth as they can by any means possible. No amount of money is enough for these vultures.

I suspect the Dems care less about tending to their traditional constituents, because the fix is in, again, and they know it.

By way of clarification: DEMS THEY OWN THE VOTING AND VOTE COUNTING PROCESS! Who needs actual voters?? In fact, during the 2020 election cycle, one dem candidate said, "we don't need your vote. We need your support after the election." Co-operating RINO's nod their heads, collect their payouts and life goes on.
IMHO, if every person in this country voted republican, the dem would still eke out a win. They could run a dead dog for president and the dog would win. Until that issue is addressed (with same day vote count, paper ballots, hand-counted, in precinct with an open auditing, receipt or verification process), we can never be sure who is democratically elected to preserve our republic by registered, qualified, living American citizens and who is not.

There was a December 2015 article in Bloomberg which talked about the Democrats changing strategy to the ascendant class which talked about targeting the upper-income, college-educated, single women.
Things this article touched upon.
This is something the media won't tell their audiences as it would ruin the party for the Progressive Democrat party, which I call today's Democrat party since it's nothing like the party from just a 15 years ago.
FTA:
Phillips answered that his run for his party’s nomination is in part because he believes his party has left behind too many people who would normally be with them. He said he found them waiting in line for former President Donald Trump: “Got to tell you, guys, I went to Donald Trump rally a couple nights ago, never been to one. I had an event across the street. I saw the line of people waiting in the cold for hours, and I thought, what the heck?”
Phillips added he learned that all people wanted was a leader who actually invites people to hear their message and not call them MAGA extremists or condemn them.
“Met probably 50 Trump people waiting in line, every single one of them, thoughtful, hospitable, friendly, all of them so frustrated that they feel nobody’s listening to them but Donald Trump,” he said. “A diverse crowd. People who had never been to a Trump event before.”
Notice how he was surprised to hear how nice friendly and hospitable these people were, since it's NOT something the media will acknowledge.
Otherwise, how can so many think Trump, whom they've portrayed as "hitler", "evil", "dangerous", could any of these people want him to be their President?
