And at the time I thought she was crazy for saying this out loud... Now it is obviously so true and not even a harsh statement.

Yeah but it’s not how you win an election and it was a key galvanizing element that made MAGA a movement.

At some point, ethically and morally, this becomes a conundrum though. A good, just, moral leader shouldn’t want to “appeal to trash people for all the wrong reasons.”

A good leader also wouldn’t call 10’s of millions of their constituents irredeemably racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic—you name it

I think Comey and just the fact that she was a Woman had a bigger impact on her political aspirations than this statement did.

Now uneducated racist, misogynist bigots would seem appropriate

Agree or disagree with her policy positions she is obviously an incredibly smart person and when she speaks in public its usually a fairly well reasoned or thought out statement even if itd not the most sound from a political or PR point of view.

Yes she was always 100% right and I even rooted for her as she said this. But it still should have been Bernie.

Plus, it looks like her husband is in that basket, too! She should really stick to name-calling people who can't fight back. Like the central park 5 and calling black children super predators. It definitely worked out better for her.
