The power base of the Democratic party is union workers, some of whom are blue collar. Not really the same as blue collar workers as a whole.

The democrats also expect all non-White folks, homosexuals and criminals (including organized crime) to join their coalition of union members, academics, professional politicians and the wealthy elite (see John Kerry, Babs Streisand, George Soros, etc.).

I don't see any attempt to get the common working people into the Democrat's big tent. By ignoring us and they will lose most elections outside the big urban centers.
