The White House on Thursday lashed out at former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who has been under fire for disparaging remarks she made this week about President Trumps voters.
I think that is a perfect example of why Hillary Clinton is not in the White House, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said during a press briefing. She is completely disconnected from the American public and certainly I think shows her disdain for the millions and millions of Americans who came out and voted for President Trump and still support him today.
At a conference in India this week, Clinton said the states that voted in favor of Trump were looking backwards and insinuated that Middle America is lagging the coasts in nearly every department.
"All that red in the middle, where Trump won, what the map doesn't show you is that I won the places that represent two-thirds of America's gross domestic product, Clinton said. So I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward."

Hillary Clinton continues to be proven correct every time.

(54,276 posts)I wouldn't have put it that way for public consumption, though, because it will stick needles in the sides of those who voted for Trump and now regret it mightily. They will hate Hillary for reminding them, though, human nature being what it is. Being right is not the same as being sensible, and I would have been more reticent, seeing as how remarks made by anyone anywhere these days are heard halfway around the world ten seconds later. Hillary may have nothing left to lose, but people like Conor Lamb do. I would have chosen my words more carefully, although I can imagine she has been keeping way more than that bottled up inside her for a long time, now.

(28,243 posts)Fuck that noise. Hillary has turned reticence into an art form since the election. If she wants to blow off steam and tell the truth in public every once in a while, more power to her. I'm sure Conor Lamb can withstand it. trump supporters deserve our unalloyed scorn, and nothing more---they put this country in the sewer, and they sure as hell aren't entitled to carefully chosen words at this point.
DFW
(54,276 posts)I said what I would have done in Hillary's position, and also said she was 100 % correct. I only said she will not make points by pointing it out again to people who already feel bad about what they did to themselves (not to mention the rest of us). We can try to win them back, or we can call them fuck-face and see which gets us more of their votes next time.
You might want to try some honey with those lemons next time. They'll taste better.

They are what they are. I think the right path forward is to stop shying away from that fact, and to make them so ashamed of their vote for the republican president that they will never admit it in public.
If they won't vote for future Democrats because Hillary said something as a private citizen, they were never going to vote for Democrats, and we don't need to cater to them.

(19,182 posts)They long for their halcyon years - the 50s and 60s - when they could still tell those minorities where to go, when post-war factory jobs paid great wages with great benefits, and daddy could go to work and mommy would stay home and cook. Those days! They were at their best then, but they haven't been right since. They can't adapt, they can't look forward, only backward at what once was. The future scares them because they're totally unprepared for it, and don't want to prepare for it. It's much easier standing in a crowd shouting MAGA! MAGA! MAGA! What they really mean is, make America like it used to be. Ain't gonna' happen, deplorables. It's a global economy now. The days of Americans hogging up all the gravy in the world are over. We have to share the gravy, whether you like it, or not.

Wellstone ruled
(34,661 posts)but,the GOP has their friends in the Media pushing the Narrative,which btw,was just proved that with Chuckie Toad ,a couple of minutes ago,let those Tax Cuts simmer awhile,and then it keeps the Dems out.
BTW,Hillary is Comcast's go to meme. It is not going away. They are rerunning a bit from Clinton's speech in India over and over.

Awww, poor fascists got their feelings hurt?
This pity sob story from the people who damned President Obama & Sec Clinton with every lie they could come up with.
This pitiful poor me story from the people who touts the child murderers of the terrorists org, the NRA, as their fuckin god.
STFU. WE WILL CALL YOU WHAT YOU ARE.
Stop whining you bunch of lying criminal thugs.
You have exploited everyone & every possible thing on the planet for your own self serving greed..
SEC Clinton was being too kind with her words.
She should have called you the thieving, exploiting, murdering, global criminal organization you actually are.
When Putin is your guide, you are far far worse than anything Sec Clinton has ever said about you.
She must have hit a nerve as she steps out to speak about the atrocities of Putin & Trump's master plan for global dominance, because the reaction from the fascist bastards & their cult are out today to keep the truth hidden.
Keep speaking Hillary. Our allied world already agrees with you.
We don't owe the fascsts a damn thing anymore.
We never did.
Speak Hillary!!
You are a bold hero for our US Sovereignty
SAY IT LOUDER THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
WE DON'T COWER TO FASCIST CRIMINALS.
