107. This crappy video won't make any inroads with the "nascar crowd"

Sat Dec 6, 2014, 01:43 AM

Dec 2014

First of all, it was gruesomely, almost painfully, awful. The music was mediocre and the words sappy and saccharine. It's not "country music", believe me. I'm from Bakersfield and I know.

Secondly, the nascar crowd as you call them, has been hearing for 25 years from rush limbaugh and other idiots on the radio how hillary clinton is the most liberal person on the face of the planet and she's coming for their guns. One amateurish video won't change their minds.

What this piece of crap will do instead is convince black voters that hillary clinton just plain does not give a shit about them. Of course they won't vote republican, but if she keeps up such obvious pandering to the hick demographic, and keeps trashing the country's first african american president, she can expect a pretty dismal turnout among black voters.

She's not gonna win over any rednecks but she needs the black vote. Without it she's toast.

The article did not mention which pac put this out, I would check the sources of the article and the Thinkingabout Dec 2014 #129

Yes it did: "a news release from the Stand With Hillary PAC" muriel_volestrangler Dec 2014 #131

The link given in the post states Stand Up With Hillary, her pac is Stand With Hillary, Thinkingabout Dec 2014 #135

That is the link given in the post; it does NOT state "Stand Up With Hillary" muriel_volestrangler Dec 2014 #140

Look on the top left side of the video, look at the bottom and you will see sanalio.com as the Thinkingabout Dec 2014 #142

The link you gave is the link in the OP muriel_volestrangler Dec 2014 #144

Go bach to the original post, watch the video provided, look at the picture included in Thinkingabout Dec 2014 #145

Just correct your false "The article did not mention which pac put this out" claim in #129 muriel_volestrangler Dec 2014 #146

Okay, when I look at the video it is not a Hillary pac, I doubt if many saw Thinkingabout Dec 2014 #147
