In a Hardball exclusive on MSNBC with Chris Matthews, Vice President Joe Biden admitted that the Democrat Party has turned its back on white middle-class voters and preferred latching on to elitists.

Matthews mentioned how in the ‘90s, forty-four percent of the white working class voted for Bill Clinton but in 2012, Democrat support had dropped to just 29% in that demographic and is expected to drop even further this year. Matthews said this is proof that Dems have lost a “gut connection” with these voters and Biden agreed.

“We don’t talk to them anymore,” Biden said. “We don’t associate with their difficulty anymore. It’s almost like somehow they’re in good shape, but they’re not. They can’t figure out how to get their kid to college.”

Biden blamed the Bush administration for starting the middle class’s economic decline, and then he blamed both parties for ignoring them. He also made it clear that Washington D.C. spends most of its time looking down their noses at the rest of us uneducated Americans:

“The fact of the matter is, those people we’re talking about built this country. They built it, and they are smarter than we give them credit for. There’s almost like what’s happened in both parties is there is sort of a yielding to pedigree. The guy who goes to Penn State or the University of Delaware, and the guy who goes to Yale or Penn — well, the  guy who goes to Yale or Penn must know more.”

Biden said Democrats fail to talk enough about middle-class America’s concerns that’s why they’re attempting to alter course and offer “free” college.

Matthews said, “We’ve lost that gut connection, I think, with the working people out there. We have black support, the Democrats do. The liberals do. But this is gone, this salute to the Democratic Party.”

“How do you get that back?” Matthews asked.

“You have to talk to them,” Biden said. “You have to engage with them. You have to go and let them know that you understand their anxieties.”

But being an elitist and hanging out with them for all these years has most likely made that impossible.
