The obvious reason for this is that the party consists entirely of elite liberals and minorities. They have abandoned the most of the middle class/working class white Americans who built the nation.

Exactly.
At least Bill Clinton had the political savvy to at least pay lip service to the middle class.
Obama was America's first Affirmative Action hire - and you can't expect a black guy to understand the value of hard work in the first place.
...and Hillary Clinton doesn't give a fuck about you, pure and simple. I have never seen a more self-serving politician in my life. She was the Marie Antoinette of American politics.
The Democrats have gotten exactly what they deserve.

The last good Democrat was Grover Cleveland. The Democrats have deserved far less than they've had for over a century.

Yep, the Democratic party used to be the party of blue collar, working class whites. People like plumbers and carpenters and coal miners, they were the bedrock of the Democrat vote.
Now Democrats are the party of gays, blacks, Mexicans, and single mothers.
