28. I think anyone who doesn't understand what she is saying
Tue Mar 29, 2016, 08:03 PM
Mar 2016

needs to look around this country a bit. Those of us who volunteered for Barack Obama in 2008 were able to quite effectively run him against Hillary (and he was a fairly inexperienced politician at that time). She's not likeable, folks don't trust her, and yes many will vote for Trump to avoid her. Many Bernie supporters will follow his lead and support her if she is the nominee, folks who are not in a swing state may protest with a green vote, but those numbers aren't going to be substantial. You've got to look at all the people who just aren't as engaged in politics on a daily basis. Yes, everyone knows her name. But that is not always a good thing.

Susan is trying to tell this clueless host that he needs to look outside of his own upper class and listen to what people are saying.
