In reply to the discussion: Durbin: Hillary Clinton 'is wrong' about Trump voters [View all]denvine
(870 posts)We can't hide the fact that it was said. Yes some of the Trumpsters are beyond redeemable, but not all. Some are terrible racist, but not all. If someone called you an idiot, would you ever support them are anyone associated with them? Keep your eye on the big picture which is we need a Blue Wave in November and we need every single vote we can get. For Hillary to go out and publicly deride a whole swath of voters is not helpful to the big picture, just like her calling them deplorables was not helpful. It becomes a rallying point for them and fuels their arguments that we are elitist. I will not say here on a forum that she is not correct because, yes, many do fall into this group. Many are deplorable and backward thinking. We can say it among ourselves but not as a public figure who was our last Presidential candidate. It's categorizing a large group of people because of a perception you have of them. We rail against this all the time when Trump calls Hispanics names, African countries-shithole countries, etc. It's wrong and it's hurtful so the same goes for our side of the aisle. It is not helpful at all. Again, we need this Blue Wave to neutralize the threat that is this administration and his minions. Did you ever think that people who voted for Hillary in these states that are backward thinking may be insulted also? Division is the biggest threat to the Democratic hope for big win in November. We can not afford to alienate anyone.
