The party establishments play the Culture card, you can see Hillary Clinton playing the Culture card all the time. If you really observe, its the Rebels (Sanders and Trump) talking economics, and Establishment(Cruz/Clinton/Bush) talking about Gays, Guns and God.
- threatofrain 10y agoI think Clinton's main social points in terms of get-out-to-vote issues are abortion and immigration. I don't think Gays, Guns, and God are get-out-to-vote issues for Sanders, Clinton, or Trump. Those votes aren't easy to secure for these candidates. My point is not that Democrats or the GOP have social issues as part of get-out-to-vote drives. My point is to look at the content of the GOP points, whether on scientific policy or social issues.
- sremani 10y agoAbortion is a cultural issue, and which ever politician talks about Abortion for or against, is playing the classic textbook cultural partisanship game. Immigration is a bit complicated, but can be boiled down to both culture and economics. Clinton talks about tolerance(cultural), Trump talks about jobs(economics) being lost to immigration and open borders. In my opinion Trump is not about 2016, but we will likely have a President in 2028 who runs on the Trump agenda of Native Populism, in a world of automation and globalization, his message is only going to get popular.
