If Hillary has the blue collar workers support why could she not close the deal in Oregon??

    Hillary lost among white low income (less than 50k) and white non-college educated voters in Oregon.

    I guess you just can't stereotype all white working class or non-college educated voters - they are different in different parts of the country. Obama seems to take the worst beatings in Appalachia. Everywhere else he is doing fine with white blue collar workers. He is racking up the Union endorsements as well. He is going to lose the small town racist/redneck vote - but so has every Democratic President since LBJ. Even Bill Clinton didn't win a majority of white voters in 1992.

    It would help your party a lot if you'd stop calling other members of your party "racists' because they voted for Clinton. How, seriously, do you expect to bastardize that 49% of the voters and still think your candidate of choice will win in November? That has stupidity and bigotry written all over it and furthermore, how can you support a candidate who claims to be about "unity" when you yourself are divisive and full of hate?

    Oregon is very different from almost any other state in the union and looking at CNN's map of Oregon, she DID win the many of the rural counties. Several that she lost were by 40 or less votes. Oregon is not full of blue collar workers (or "racists" as you lovingly call them)

    Oregon is more educated and affluent than the racist yokels you'll find in rural Pennsylvania and W. Va. There is a reformist and progressive mindset in Oregon that loves rally against the establishment, and is immune to the pandering of traditional politics.

    Exactly.

    Not only that, why didn't she close the deal on super Tuesday?

    After all, she's the one with the name recognition, an ex-President husband, fund raising abilities, connections, and 35 years of experience (wink, wink).

    So why hasn't she closed the deal yet is a very good question.

    By blue collar workers, what she really meant was racist rednecks

    Not too many of them in Oregon, I would assume

    Easy question it is because she is a woman and she can not change that. Sexist America had no intention of letting her win from the start. She beat him bad in Kentucky and cut down his lead in Oregon a job well done by her. " For it is not the strong nor the swift who wins the race but the one who endure." God bless Hillary she has been an inspiration in my life, she has endured and carried on and I know in the end she will win the race. God bless all of you and America.

    Oregonians march to the beat of a different drum. It is a left wing socialist state.
