David Paul Kuhn and Stan Greenberg on Democrats' Alienation of White Working-Class Voters

Author David Paul Kuhn and pollster Stan Greenberg pinpoint the exact moment 50 years ago when white working-class voters started to feel disillusioned by the direction the Democratic party was taking towards coastal elitism.

The Hard Hat Riot of 1970 may have lost some of its historical importance in the eyes of everyone but the most astute modern day political operatives. But author David Paul Kuhn ("The Hard Hat Riot") and political strategist Stan Greenberg ("RIP GOP") make the case that any Democrat worth their salt should mark that infamous clash between college students and construction workers as the inception of the greatest electoral barrier their party has faced in the 50 years since. That is the disenfranchisement of blue collar whites, and their departure from the left was felt in the 2016, just as they may serve as Biden's key to victory in 2020. Plus, Al and James discuss Trump's latest outrages.
