I wish the media would listen to their own words. "Super Tuesday in the Republican primaries will see a majority of white voters." I hope they do vote and find a path out of the dilemma they are caught up in. It isn't right and it isn't fair. The USA has been turned on it's head domestically and this is only one of the groups where it shows the most.

A large segment of white middle-aged Americans (click here) has suffered a startling rise in its death rate since 1999, according to a review of statistics published Monday that shows a sharp reversal in decades of progress toward longer lives.
The mortality rate for white men and women ages 45-54 with less than a college education increased markedly between 1999 and 2013, most likely because of problems with legal and illegal drugs, alcohol and suicide, the researchers concluded. Before then, death rates for that group dropped steadily, and at a faster pace.
An increase in the mortality rate for any large demographic group in an advanced nation has been virtually unheard of in recent decades, with the exception of Russian men after the collapse of the Soviet Union....
I hope someone is doing a follow up study to pinpoint the mystery. These working poor men sometimes find enjoyment in bad health habits as well.
