Yes you did, but you're still not (and won't be) right, LOL.  The often-labeled "Working Class Whites" are going to have to deal with the business community, wealthy White college graduates, suburbanites who don't care that much about social issues and whatever other boogeymen you fancy for quite a while.

Except the "White Working Class" will be GOP and all of the other groups you mentioned will be largely Democratic constituencies within the next 10 to 30 years.

We'll see my friend, but I say in your dreams.  Dixiecrat ideology died a slow, painful death, and this last gasp to resurrect it won't change the fact that it's a thing of the past (thankfully).

The only problem with what you're saying is that Donald Trump is winning.

And you're somewhat delusional if you think that a Republican Party that even today is run by Southern, White reactionaries is going to contain some amount of liberal nuance in a 21st century where globalization will empty out America's heartland of good-paying jobs, immigrants will continue flooding through the border, and the Culture Wars continue to wage with new fervor.  The GOP of 2040 looks like UKIP or Le Pen's FN.

And, beside the point, you have absolutely zero understanding of my ideology.  I'm one of the resident "big government Republicans" on the Forum, and am perfectly fine admitting that, at the current pace, I'll be a Democrat before long.  I'm not longing for the day when the GOP is only comprised of racists and losers.  So, no, I'm not trying to invent some GOP of my liking in these assessments.

Anyone saying Wall Street is more Democrat-friendly than GOP-friendly is either a painfully oblivious dreamer who yearns for a party that suits them or downright stupid.

Right now, Wall Street is more Democrat-friendly.  People who derive their wealth from investments are a  lot more comfortable with the idea of a Clinton presidency than a Trump presidency. 

Being in favor of Clinton over Trump does not change the fact that the business community leans heavily Republican.

This is probably true of small business, but Wall Street has co-opted both major parties at the national level for quite some time now.
