Last weekend, Hillary Clinton spoke in India. There, she continued to struggle publicly with the most humiliating experience of her life, not her husband's continual sexual misconduct or her State Department's mishandling of Benghazi but her loss of the presidency to a reality television show host. Hillary's not over it. And she never will be.
That much was obvious from her incredible, palpable anger at the American public. She first explained that Trump voters are stupid poor people: "what the map doesn't show you is that I won the places that represent two-thirds of America's gross domestic product. So I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward."
But Clinton wasn't done. She then stated that Trump voters are ignoramuses who still stumble out to their outhouses in the middle of the night and stoop over a hole in the ground while reading old copies of Ku Klux Klan newsletters. Those people, she said, fell pray to Trump's racist "Elmer Gantry" pitch: "you didn't like black people getting rights. You don't like women ... getting jobs. You don't want to ... see that Indian-American succeeding more than you are. Whatever your problem is, I'm going to solve it."
For good measure, Clinton tore into women who voted for Trump as well -- and suggested that they are all little Tammy Wynettes standing by their men. "(W)e don't do well with married white women," Clinton explained. "And part of that is an identification with the Republican Party, and a sort of ongoing pressure to vote the way that your husband, your boss, your son, whoever believes you should." Yes, women who voted Republican only did so because they are afraid that ol' Bob is going to come home, get the beatin' stick out of the closet and start a-whoopin' and a-whalin' on the little woman.
And then, Democrats wonder why they had trouble winning Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Here's the reality: None of this is true. The average Trump voter outearned the average Clinton voter, and 86 percent of Trump voters were employed, about the same percentage as Clinton voters. Tribalism in voting exists on both sides: The intersectional politics of the Democratic Party is inherently race based, and Trump successfully responded to that sort of politics in reactionary fashion. As to the notion that married women didn't vote for Clinton because of their husbands, 52 percent of married women voted for Trump; 53 percent of married women voted Republican candidate Mitt Romney in 2012, and 51 percent voted for Republican candidate John McCain in 2008. Married women vote differently than single women not because of pressure from their menfolk but because they often have children, value family over career more than single women and are older than single women on average.
But here's the point: Clinton represents a nasty, vengeful take on populations she has trouble winning over. That nastiness has filtered through the Democratic Party, which is firmly convinced that it'd be better off drilling down into population groups it thinks are interested in tearing down the system along with them than reaching out to populations it has lost. If Democrats continue with that quest, they'll alienate the very voters who gave Trump victory in 2016.

Some Democrats like PA’s Conor Lamb, know that kind of talk won’t help them win so they run like a Republican.
But Hillary knows better. People in Trump country are full of hate, racism and misogyny. Same woman lost by 20 points the district Lamb narrowly won today.
She lost Democrat Allegheny County to Tump. The smartest woman in the world. That’s how she lost when she was supposed to win.
Liberals hate normal people and they want us dead.
It’s as simple as that.
L
ANYONE wearing leather soles would have slipped on the uneven, sloping steps.
Thanks for that. My first laugh of the day.
That is why there was that pile of people at the bottom of the steps.
Yup. When they reveal their true colors, people run away from them.
They have to lie to get elected. If Lamb was like Hillary, he would have been beaten hands down.
Which proves my point - Democrats cannot run as they would really like to and win.
Republicans don’t have that problem. In a way, Lamb cheated and the difference between him and Hillary is that the latter couldn’t hide her contempt for the Little People.
Sorry, but the Dems have been whipped up into a frenzy of anger and hatred, and angry people vote. We’ve been losing one special election after another in districts President Trump won by double digits, the latest one in PA he had won by 20%! If Republican voters stay home as they have been doing since Trump won, we lose. As simple as that.
The Left needs to assume that this is FAKE NEWS, ALWAYS!
Are you sure about angry people voting?
Really?
“get the beatin’ stick out of the closet and start a-whoopin’ and a-whalin’ on the little woman.”
Not to be picky...well just a little...the word is “waling” without an h. Yes, “whale” is such a common error, it’s considered acceptable now, like many another error, when diversity and inclusion reign, and Noah Webster’s just another dead white guy.
Exactly! Huma and all those other people went tumbling down as well!
Oh, wait...
Great analysis.
My theory is that the Republican Congress has not delivered on the reasons they were elected. Throw in some Trump talk of gun control and the conservatives stay home.
This incident is exactly Hillary won’t run again in 2020.
Whatever you think of Trump, she’s electoral box poison.
No Democrat is going to touch her with a 10 foot pole.
If she thought of running again, she buried her chances all by herself.
Again, ostensibly the smartest woman in the world.

DAY’O
The Bitch wanna go home...
Hello!! It’s INDIA...Cows are sacred, doubt if they have on leather soled shoes!
Uh oh! Did anyone tell Hillary? Yikes!
Amen, brother. Amen
Until the Republican party comes to grips with why Trump won, they will keep losing all these special elections.
