When the primary season started, it soon became apparent that, much like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Mr. Trump was connecting with many Americans who felt that their voices were not being heard in Washington and who were tired of political correctness.

White Supremacists and Kluckers were not lining up to praise Senator Sanders for giving them hope of regaining their pre-1960's 'happy place'. While sadly, I wouldn't have expected her to call out the Republicans' racist base, mentioning Sanders herein is a cheap dodge. As is describing flat out racism as 'political correctness'.

That being said, I'm glad that she came out against him.
