REPORT: HILLARY CLINTON’S CAMPAIGN IGNORED BILL’S SUGGESTION TO COURT WORKING-CLASS WHITES.
Her teenage fling as a Goldwater Girl notwithstanding, Hillary’s always been a woman of the far left, but she’s been better at times keeping her worst impulses under wraps. To illustrate how far to the left Hillary traversed from 2007 to 2016, Obama’s infamous and revealing bitter clingers sneer was an attack on her Democratic primary voters in Pennsylvania in 2008. By 2016, as her tone-deaf attack on coal miners illustrated, Hillary was on the same page as Obama when it came to working-class whites, and – fortunately for all concerned – it cost her the election.
In the early 1990s, Bill Clinton did much to erase the radical chic McGovernite connotations of the Democrat party.* I wonder what he thinks about Gore, Obama and Hillary choosing ideology over his more inclusive approach.
* Only to scare the bejesus out over many Americans all over again by initially pushing gun control and Hillarycare once in office, but that’s whole ‘nother post.
