Reply #6: Uh...Reagan Democrats?

[bluestateguy]

Now that's a label from the past! Perhaps because it does not exist anymore. If these folks still believe "Reagan Democrats" are around I suppose they also believe that "Cheers" is still on the air, Donald and Ivana Trump are still together and Coleco computers are the hot thing to have. So-called Reagan Democrats split apart in the early 1990's. In the South they outright became Republicans. They're gone and they ain't comin' back. Goodbye. White working class Reagan Democrats in northern cities and suburbs have generally moved back into the Democratic camp, with only the occasional Republican deviation in state and congressional elections. In California, so called Reagan Democrats--mostly, white middle aged folks--are moving inland to Rocky Mountain states and are generally a Republican constituency, making California more Democratic and the Rocky states more Republican.
