In reply to the discussion: Hillary, your incessant "victim playing" is a bad political move [View all]Bonobo
(29,257 posts)Hillary has got this thing, it is over. Now we have only the awful hand-wringing and anticipation of a loss to Trump to worry about.
And in consideration of that, I offer my best advice that Hillary NOT attempt to play the victim with Trump as she has and is continuing to do with Sanders.
It will be tempting to demonize people who support Trump in the same way -or worse- than she has done to Sanders supporters. That too would be a mistake.
The only thing worse than a person who plays the victim card is one who combines it bizarrely with contempt for disaffected voters (and there are a LOT of them).
This will be a fight for the middle and the Indies in addition to being a time when Democrats are called to turn up despite lack of enthusiasm. Her particular brand of scorning people will not play well and neither will her victim act.
