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.
+1
And also something that brought out the “picky” in me: he should have written “fall prey to”, not “fall pray to”.
The fact remains...... she won the popular vote. That equates to the fact there are more of them there are of us.
That simple fact is the reason that ABCCBSNBCCNNMSNBC are able to exist.
Ignoring that fact is suicide. Trump and the Republicans must make an arduous effort to eliminate that margin
That reason is the reason the race in PA is so close
And Obama won twice. The fact is, we will always be hanging by a thread.
Until Democrats Come to Grips With Why Hillary Lost, Trump Will Keep Winning.
I would not hold my breath that they ever will figure it out as most socialists (democrats) don’t play with a full deck and are in some form or another mentally impaired otherwise they wouldn’t be what they are.
Yep. Conor Lamb understands how to win. LIE AND RUN AS A REPUBLICAN, TO THE RIGHT OF THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE. And the people of PA-18 believed him! Stupid, stupid Republicans!
Hillary thought that by taking one for the team and sticking with Bubba, she would be entitled to the presidency. But in 2008, she couldn’t beat a first term senator who had never held a job and in 2016, were it not for the help of Donna and the DNC, she would have lost to an old commie. Every rational and sane human but Herself, knows why she lost. Outside of NY and CA, no one likes her.
Let’s just keep that to ourselves. Ok?
Republicans also need to remember why Trump won.
Hillary was wearing Birkenstock sandals. Rubber soles, not leather.
And if what you say is true, why didn't everybody else walking down those steps fall down too?
This woman had too many Irish coffees before she left the hotel.
Being a drunk has nothing to do with leather soles.
Hillary was wearing Birkenstock sandals. Rubber soles, not leather.’
From the picture I saw of her Birkenstock sandals, they were slides. The kind where only the front of the foot has straps and heels are free to slip all over the place.
Slides and flipflops are not good walking shoes. Do not know why someone with her bucks could not choose a pair of sandals or other shoes that fully support the foot.
I love this article. She is being devoured by her hatred and rage.it will only get worse as everything becomes ashes in her mouth.
Birkenstocks are to shoes, like Subarus are to cars, like StarBigBucks are to coffee for liberals.
Gotta' be hip, doncha' know?
Hey! I like my Suby.
Hillary can keep the Birkenstocks.
Thanks servo1969. Oh, and the Electoral College, that's just an impediment to the ascedancy of a durable majority (single party state) for the Demagogic Party.
