IRT Ronin006.  You are absolutely correct.  The Democrats have lost its real power base...the white wage earner/union guy.  The Dems now must cater to special interests, an given the entitlement mentality,  the Dems will be unable to pay less attention to the special interest in order to recover the white union work vote. 
And so long as they keep pointing fingers at the Russians, they are safe from having to address the REAL problem they face.
