Inter Party War
There’s a war brewing in the Democratic Party.

GOP's Southern Strategy Hits A Demographic Wall

Donald Trump’s recent surge in the GOP Presidential primary polls comes as no surprise to me. Trump’s idiotic braggadocio, his wealth, blatant racism and his brand name recognition appeals to the angry white male base of the Republican Party. The core audience of conservative talk radio and Fox news is emblematic of the demographic giving thumbs up to Trump’s bid for the White House. The GOP has spent decades cultivating and agitating this demographic. The birth of the strategy of pitting black people against white people began in the south in the 50’s during Jim Crow and crystallized in the 1980’s with help from political operatives like Lee Atwater. http://www.thenation.com/article/exclusive-lee-atwaters-infamous-1981-interview-southern-strategy/ The southern strategy resurged after the election of the nation’s first African American President. A segment of America felt that the country they knew and loved had been taken over by an alien, a Communist sympathizer that threatened their very existence. Trump’s endless pursuit of President Obama’s birth certificate was given life and legs by these white folks.
