Democratic Party has lost touch with this class due to supporting globalised trade and leftist politics, academic Larry Donnelly tells Patrick MacGill Summer School
White working class moving to Republican Party, yet Trump never delivered for those workers, says academic
“This has all happened even though Mr Trump has never delivered for working people, and that is “one of the extraordinary contradictions about Donald Trump and Donald Trump’s appeal. They saw him “rip off his jersey and say the Trumpamaniacs are coming for you. At a certain level, he’s connecting with an awful lot of Americans who felt that buttoned-up, tied-up politicians never spoke their language”, Mr Donnelly said.
The Democrats’ success in recent decades “has arguably been down, in large part, to two extraordinary individuals, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, at the top of the ticket, and a reaction to the chaos of the first Trump presidency”.
