Do We Disrespect Rural America?

[RegexReader]

67. really?

It's not about winning hearts and minds they can't be reasoned with, Hillary was right they're not redeemable so why try.

Were you a strategist for the Viet Nam war? If that is your approach, you've already lost and those on the margins will move away also.

But I tell you what, go ahead. See how well it works out for you. When tRump carries those areas in 2020 to win re-election when another royal blue blood screech is run, what will your reaction then be? Going to double down on 'punishing' them? Denying them emergency assistance & ambulance service? Is that what being liberal now means? What next? Close their hospitals and medical clinics? Hey! Here's an idea that'll really get them to come around, deny their elderly Medicare & Medicaid. Close the nursing homes and throw their grandmothers out on the street. They're not redeemable, so why bother?

Put any dog in a corner and start kicking them, and they're going to bite you. And you don't think that these people are any better than dogs? Quite progressive of you. These people may not have an Ivy League diploma on their wall but they would see their situation is worsening due to (D) actions. And do you think that they're go lick the boots that kick them?

So inclusive.
So diverse.
So tolerant of you.

With this type of approach and attitude, winning in 2020 has zero possibility. These people voted not because they're bigots but voted their jobs & futures. How many had been laid off for years and drove past the padlocked factory where they used to work while promised some pie-in-the-sky service job while Hillary was supporting TRRP that was going to ship more of their jobs overseas. Someone that looked like a pissed off ex-wife that only went to $100,000/plate events didn't appeal to them. Stop and think!, the cost of one plate was three times what these people made in a year. And she was somehow a better option that tRump?

Again, Bernie would have appealed and reached out to these people and would have won. And won big.
