Hillary was right about the "Deplorables".

48. It was specifically and distinctly made when she made it. The words matter.

It was always made, but the spin from the people who don't understand words, and don't bother listening to anything she said overwhelmed things like listening to the words on the video and the quoted words.

There is an argument to be made for people to not make such a distinction, since economic reasons were a poor reason to vote for Trump, and these people saw the racism, saw the misogyny, saw the Nazis and thought, I'll still vote for this guy and hope he doesn't do what he says he's going to with my healthcare, and that he'll somehow bring back an industry that I've known has been floundering for years.

People's failure to believe their own eyes and ears about what she actually said is not a "huge tactical error" and she was well aware of what she was saying, because THOSE words were also not a backpedal.

It was true and it needed saying, it's a huge tactical error to pretend that words don't matter, and that "economic anxiety" can be used to cover what actually went on here with the racism and the misogyny. Let's not do that.
