Here’s a nugget for PAMan. The people angered by Hillary’s “basket of deplorables” comment weren’t voting for her under any condition.
I get, obviously, why that comment was blown out of proportion but assuming PAMan actually knows what she said in context, I’d think he’d be supportive of it. The entire thing was about how not all MAGA types are racists or bad people, some are simply disillusioned and feel left behind and we need to have empathy for those people.
Consider that in the face of the reaction to those comments. A lot of people told on themselves with their reaction to that. If you were a non racist Trump voter she was explicitly speaking in your defense but I didn’t see anyone react that way.
A political blunder? Sure, she should’ve known the right wing media would strip out all context for a sound bite. But she was very actively saying not to assume someone’s a racist because they vote for Trump.
