Trump voters loners?
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/article...30125.html

Interesting theory-that Trump voters are those with low social-connectedness and that he does poorly where there among groups with higher social-connectedness.

How can one make sense of the electoral divisions in this year's Republican primaries and caucuses? The contours of Donald Trump's support and opposition don't fall on traditional lines.

There's not a regional division, for example. Trump's best states have been Massachusetts, Mississippi and Arizona.





We're not seeing the divide between evangelical Christians and others apparent in the 2008 race between Mike Huckabee and John McCain.

We're not seeing the suburbs/countryside division of 2012, when in crucial primaries Mitt Romney carried million-plus metro areas and Rick Santorum carried almost all other counties. Trump carried metro Detroit and Chicago -- Romney country last time -- but lost to Ted Cruz in Raleigh-Durham and Kansas City.

So what factor distinguishes Trump and non-Trump voters? My answer is social connectedness or, to use Robert Putnam's term in "Bowling Alone," social capital. Socially connected people have strong family ties and wide circles of friends, are active in churches and voluntary organizations and work steadily.

This article theorizes why they are mad as hell and accept someone like Trump.

Its categorizing. I just simplified his term.

There's got to be something different about these people that isn't explained by the normal "groups" of Republicans. These people are willing to accept a sniveling bully and world class ******* as president. That's pretty extreme and very different from the past.

Barone never defined what that is. Just vague thoughts regarding people of German and Dutch heritage being more social.

They probably watch too much "reality" TV. For them, Trump seems normal.

Could be. I'm assuming you suppose that Hillary backers are into crime shows?

Good theory! 04-cheers

Loners deserve elected representation, and each has one vote. So why not target them for their votes?
