Yup, the great flip, the least organized least influential demographic in America has switched over to the GOP (less educated whites). There was a day where they had unions to represent them and give them clout, the Right broke the unions, and now the go join the Right. Meanwhile the "moderate republican" educated whites move over to the left.

The bed the GOP made for itself is amazing. One could imagine a moderate Republican re-emergance, but not in the putrid pit that is the GOP. So where are they going to go? HRC is more moderate than what she says, perhaps when she gets elected she continues the old move to the center by the NDC? Hard to see a way forward with an emboldened left.

Perhaps one can marry single payer, strong social safety net with free trade and selective regulation, a tough marriage.

This is the most striking change (in June numbers) about this election versus Obama's two elections.

Clinton is winning the highest income bracket by an 8% margin. Obama lost by 8 and 10%.
