Why Democrats Are Becoming the Party of the 1 Percent/Trumpism and Clintonism

[RINO Tom]

This prediction is, yet again, ridiculous.

For this to happen the Democrats would have to move to the right on economics. But the exact opposite is happening. Both Clinton and Sanders are running on platforms to the left of Obama.

This times one million.  Even if the GOP fully alienates their fiscally minded voters (even Trump is still advocating repealing Obamacare and railing against excessive taxation), the Democrats show ZERO sign of even wanting to offer an alternative for those voters.  Period.  The GOP's move to the fiscal left (if it continues, which it won't ... there will be an apetite for fiscal restraint after Hillary, if you ask me) will be because an even further left Democratic Party dragged them there.

Anyone saying Wall Street is more Democrat-friendly than GOP-friendly is either a painfully oblivious dreamer who yearns for a party that suits them or downright stupid.

Told y'all

Yes you did, but you're still not (and won't be) right, LOL.  The often-labeled "Working Class Whites" are going to have to deal with the business community, wealthy White college graduates, suburbanites who don't care that much about social issues and whatever other boogeymen you fancy for quite a while.

Except the "White Working Class" will be GOP and all of the other groups you mentioned will be largely Democratic constituencies within the next 10 to 30 years. 

We'll see my friend, but I say in your dreams.  Dixiecrat ideology died a slow, painful death, and this last gasp to resurrect it won't change the fact that it's a thing of the past (thankfully).

Right now, Wall Street is more Democrat-friendly.  People who derive their wealth from investments are a  lot more comfortable with the idea of a Clinton presidency than a Trump presidency. 

Being in favor of Clinton over Trump does not change the fact that the business community leans heavily Republican.

This is probably true of small business, but Wall Street has co-opted both major parties at the national level for quite some time now. 

It still heavily favored Romney and Congressional Republicans in the last few years.  I don't see why it's going to flock to a party whose platform is being shaped by Bernie Sanders voters...

Yep. And most Democrats--and voters in general--would strongly agree.

This is not a Republican strength.

Being associated with business and enterprise is not a bad thing, IMO ... certainly better than being viewed as a culturally intolerant party that openly welcomes xenophobia or racial resentment.  Non-"rich" people can become rich; non-White people can't become White.  Having working class White voters is wonderful, but we can't become a party of only working class White voters or even primarily of working class White voters ... there aren't enough of them, and their share of the population will continue to decline.

There should be absolutely zero reason that a college-educated, affluent Asian or Latino family shouldn't be mostly Republican, but we seem to be trying to give them a new one each week.

I can't see this happening. The Democrats would be a party that is economically neoliberal, socially SJW, and foreign policy neoconservative--it's like a mashup of all the least popular political views.

They virtually already are that way, at least with Hillary Clinton the nominee this year.

They're literally not.
