(146,116 posts)Some people are providing information about what influences a bloc of voters. An important bloc of voters. Other people are not only not listening, they're doubling down on the very thing that is being brought up.
Black voters. Hispanic voters. Women. All are blocs of voters that can decide any national election. Offend them if you wish, but that will not have a good influence on the success of the candidate you apparently support. Accuse them of being stupid or of playing card games and you simply reinforce their decisions.
You don't like President Obama. We understand that. We don't care, really. We're looking at what has been achieved in a hostile legislative environment. We do like President Obama. You don't like Hillary Clinton. We understand that. But, see, a lot of people want another Democratic President and we can see the poll numbers as well as anyone else.
This is not a card game. This is a campaign. Someone will win. Nobody's playing cards here.
