Why did George H.W. Bush lose in 1992?

[OSR stands with Israel]

The recession. The loss of white-collar jobs caused by the recession resulted in white-collar voters becoming Democrats to this day, and the appointment of Clarence Thomas alienated socially liberal voters who had been Republicans for economic reasons, and him breaking his tax pledge depressed voter turnout. Clinton was also simply more charismatic than HW Bush. Clinton talked about how he could relate voters and had been through similar things.

Uh, what's your definition of "white collar" in this context?  I wouldn't say that "white collar" voters have been Democrats from 1992-2016...

White Collar can also mean Bankers , Managers , Financial Analysts as well

And according to this many types of Doctors were Republicans in 2015:  https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/06/03/why-your-flight-attendant-is-probably-a-democrat/?utm_term=.bed155277dbd

That was more of the GOP lurching hard to the right socially with Gingrich and his "revolution", leading to the demise of Republican dominance in the suburbs.

Sounds like you're just talking about people you might know in New Jersey then ... Republican voting has been directly tied to a higher income in every election since then, including 2016.

Everyone in my town has a graduate school degree. They think a vote for the GOP is a vote for guns, homophobia, the government controlling women's bodies, and war. They also consider tobacco and alcohol to be worse than heroin. There's no bars or music, and police yell at any teenagers who they see outside at night.

Right, so a completely anecdotal piece from you about one town in one state in one region of the entire country?  I also find it highly unlikely that everyone in your entire town has a graduate degree, LMAO.

I've seen and heard similar sentiments in surrounding towns, and I never said that all white-collar people people vote Democrat.

LOL so basically in the same state or same region.


Wealthier people by the way are still more likely to vote GOP than Democrats.

Read my lips, no new taxes.

no

clinton was a more cunning and convincing speaker.

NO

Clinton was simply younger and more charismatic and had a very keen campaign staff, composed of young peoples, too. Bush was nothing more than a stable, old-line Republican uncle from Texas with his large approval ratings (First Gulf War). I guess, every presidential candidate would love to have such staff like Clinton in '92.

NOOOOO

"It's the economy, stupid."

The only thing that ever matters to the idiot voters. Find 1992 on the graph:

The economy was just as bad in 1991 as in 1992 if not worse, but if the election was held in 1991 HW Bush would have won in a massive landslide

nope. he still would of lost.

Lol his Approval Rating was in the high 60s low 70s for most of the year and most polls showed him obliterating the dem field.


And if you think all Americans care about is the state of the economy  why do you think the Republicans won in 2002 despite the economy bottoming out in the early 2000s. And how do you think a Bush vs Kerry election would have gone in November of 2001
