Hillary campaign staffer: You won’t believe what CPAC taught me about conservatives

(snip) --- In retrospect, I’m embarrassed at how nervous I was when I arrived. I found myself singing along to “God Bless the USA” with a hilariously rowdy group of college Republicans, having nuanced discussions about gun control and education policy with people from all walks of life, nodding my head in agreement with parts of Ben Shapiro’s speech, and coming away with a greater determination to burst ideological media bubbles.

The part about “having nuanced discussions about gun control” is somewhat concerning.

Hey, Buddy! I got yer “nuanced” right here!

Yeah, there is a small percentage of Democrats that are open minded. She’s South Asian, with a different core than American-born rats.

She also wrote “I’m new to this, but shouldn’t we want to engage with people who aren’t convinced of our viewpoints? Why aren’t there more conservatives at Democratic rallies and more liberals at CPAC? What are we afraid of?”

She should next go to Democrat gatherings claiming to be a conservative Republican, and see for herself the reactions she gets. Then tell us all.

“She should next go to Democrat gatherings claiming to be a conservative Republican, and see for herself the reactions she gets.”

That’s a really good idea. Have her do an experiment and then report back. If she’s a Twitter person, someone should make that suggestion to her.

Free speech is dangerous and insidious.

If you let conservatives have a forum, and listen to them, you might actually take them seriously, or - heaven forfend! - change your mind.

Too many Democrats in leadership from the Chicago school.

They can’t come together with Republicans because of RULE #13: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

Shall not be nuanced.

Just doesn’t sound right.

Back when they wrote the Constitution, I rather doubt that the word “nuanced” was in existence, or if so, used in polite society.

IIRC, Fox News did just that - they sent someone in a Hillary shirt to stand outside the Republican convention, and someone in a Trump shirt to the Democrat convention. As best I remember, Republicans were polite and friendly to the “Hillary” plant, but Democrats screamed vitriol at the “Trump” supporter.

Does this really surprise anyone?

Hmm, from the article: “To be sure, I’m a tiny, talkative South Asian woman who spent four months on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign staff.”

Doesn’t surprise me; the Rats are under demonic influence — maybe even possession.

> Why aren’t there more conservatives at Democratic rallies?

For the same exact reason there weren’t more Jews at Hitler rallies.
