Clinton Surrogate: Hillary will win the blue collar vote. Really?

[Skwmom]

Clinton and Obama ran in 2008 and the trade issue was discussed in states that were devastated by NAFTA. They got an up close look at what trade agreements had done, the economic devastation left in their wake. After the race was over, they went to Washington and nothing was done for those states. In fact, they just proceeded to push further trade agreements.

A Clinton surrogate on Larry O'Donnell last night said that Clinton will win the blue collar vote. Oh, I'm sure those blue collar voters will just fall in line and come running to the polls to vote for Clinton.

1. Well, she is the only one talking with them and not screaming at them. nt

3. Then why are they showing up at the screaming one's events?

This is the weirdest election in my lifetime. Somehow blue collar workers have come to believe Trump is one of them. It's very, very strange.

12. The Clintons also have a history of enacting legislation that devastates blue collar

workers .

2. She already is.

Damn near every union has endorsed her.

6. A lot of factory workers did not belong to unions. Union bosses does not equal union workers

or their families.

10. "Union bosses". Where have I heard that before? n/t

4. Yes she will!!!! Go Hillary!

5. If she somehow does, that's a sure-fire sign I've fallen into bizzaro-world.

It's almost as if Clinton had some kind of vendetta against blue-collar workers, considering what NAFTA did to them.

7. Only the low-information ones who don't realize she doesn't actually give a fuck about them.

There's never any shortage of dupes...it's just that they used to mainly vote for Republicans.

8. inb4 howling, screaming, and alerting because you used the Unforgivable Epithet...

9. "Low-information?" Yeah, that'll likely twist a few knickers...

I stand by it. The more you know about Hillary, the worse she looks.

[VulgarPoet]

11. Yeah, they seem pretty dedicated to

running off anyone who'd dare let facts and issues get in the way of Clinton's turn.
