Shattered: A New Fairy Tale about How Hillary ‘Forgot’ White Voters
American Thinker.com ^ | April 20, 2017 | Colin Flaherty

The Russians are off the hook. The chattering geniuses have discovered a new villain to blame for the shattering demise of their heroine, Hillary.

White guys did it.

The same reporters who cheered Hillary’s every misstep and doubted every Trump triumph are now trying to convince us that Hillary would be wearing the presidential pants suits today if only her staffers had not forgotten about white voters.

That is what we learned from Shattered, the latest 2016 campaign obituary that crashed into bookstores this week.

The pundits were so busy misreporting the election, they did not listen to what was actually happening in the campaign. If they had, they would know that far from forgetting white voters, Hillary and her Klan actively demonized them every day.

Do you really need reminding? Then let’s do it:

During the NBC debate, Lester Holt asked Hillary if cops were racist: “Lester, I think implicit bias is a problem for everyone, not just police. I think unfortunately too many of us in our great country jump to conclusions about each other. And therefore, all of us need to be asking hard questions” about race.

Hillary was happy to share her solutions to hidden white racism with America’s pied paper of racial reconciliation -- when he was not starting deadly race riots -- Al Sharpton: “White Americans need to do a much better job of listening when African Americans talk about the seen and unseen barriers you face everyday,” quoth Hillary to cheers of “amen” from the black audience. “We need to recognize our privilege and practice humility.”

I read this article this morning, and I smiled. It’s odd that in the Midwest that all the rural counties went for DJT by margins of 60-85%. Actually it was never difficult to figure out why that was.

Hillary and her party the Democrats used every method of communications available to blame white people for all the problems; the divisions in the country, the racism, the income differentials, the poor school performances in the inner cities, etc.. It was all whitey’s fault, especially white males.

Well, I am old enough to remember a lesson learned from the OJ Simpson trial. Culture trumps gender and every other subgroups of people when evaluating performance and support for ideas and people. The blacks on the jury acquitted OJ despite multitudes of evidence against him.

In 2016 The rural white folks in America did not like what they were being fed by the national liberal news media. Common sense told them that the problem did not lie with the ordinary white people you see on the street or in church on Sunday. It was with liberalism, and skin tone was irrelevant.

Don’t cry for Hillary, you ‘liberals from Argentina’. She made her bed and is now forced to lie in it.

White guys got sick of receiving snotty daily lectures on race from their President and his entourage of hangers-on.

in October 2015, I wrote that the picture of Trump as “the white power candidate” and “the first openly white supremacist candidate to have a shot at the Presidency in the modern era” was overblown. I . . . predicted that:
If Trump were the Republican nominee, he could probably count on equal or greater support from minorities as Romney or McCain before him.
Now the votes are in, and Trump got greater support from minorities than Romney or McCain before him . . .

Trump made gains among blacks. He made gains among Latinos. He made gains among Asians. The only major racial group where he didn’t get a gain of greater than 5% was white people. I want to repeat that: the group where Trump’s message resonated least over what we would predict from a generic Republican was the white population . . .

Stop calling Trump voters racist . . . stop calling Trump voters racist – not because none of them are, but because as soon as you give yourself that opportunity, it’s a slippery slope down to “anyone who disagrees with me on anything does so entirely out of raw seething hatred, and my entire outgroup is secret members of the KKK and so I am justified in considering them worthless human trash”. I’m not saying you’re teetering on the edge of that slope. I’m saying you’re way at the bottom, covered by dozens of feet of fallen rocks and snow.

. . . Stop making people suicidal. Stop telling people they’re going to be killed. Stop terrifying children. Stop giving racism free advertising. Stop trying to convince Americans that all the other Americans hate them. Stop. Stop. Stop.

true. 99.99% of all govt. “workers” are flaming, dying, forever-red liberals.

It’s where their checks are printed...

The ‘folks out there’ just pay the bills. If they’re too dumb to be in government, well....

Commercial after commercial, speech after speech, Hillary put white privilege and evil white people who killed Sandra Bland, Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, etc. front and center.

"Commercial after commercial"?

Were any of her commercials actually like that?

What Colin is doing is stringing together things Clinton said to black audiences and making out that that was the totality of her campaign.

That's supposed to disprove the idea that she "ignored" white voters.

Politicians obviously say different things to different audiences. It's the old game of saying one thing in the North and something different in the South, one thing to Black voters and something different to Whites. Hillary failed at that.

Flaherty doesn't make a very good case or disprove the notion that she lost because she failed to make a serious play for working class white voters.

Oh, yeah? I'd like to hear her tell us which position(s) she would've changed in order to be more appealing to white voters.

She ended up losing the white FEMALE vote.

Trump collected 53% of their vote, which is VERY decisive.

I don't know how she can spin that away.

The nincompoops who wore the P***y hats were mostly... white *liberal* women.

Maybe white females aren't as stupid (or liberal) as Hillary would lead us to believe.

While some white females have made a lucrative living as tokens, the fact is that every unemployed, marginalized white man is one less prospective mate for a white woman. Their gains are short-term, as many blacks want them removed from the “preferred minority” list (not enough historical oppression/economic disadvantage, apparently).

Maybe enough white women saw the writing on the wall...

“Quarterback Colin Kaepernick was forcing white football fans to listen to his sideline protests of white racism that grew and grew and grew as more and more fans stayed away.”

Not really. It was the OWNERS, unwilling to root-out politics (of any type), from football that subjected white fans to abuse. People like Conlin are too stupid to care either way, but if they face $ punishment, they’ll behave.

I honestly believe that the root of Left-ism is embedded in deep, psycho-sexual scars.

These people are constantly abused by their chosen Masters and eagerly keep coming back for more.

Therefore it’s not surprising that these people believed they could abuse Middle-America and somehow get them to come back to the Plantation on election day.
