FROM AL HUNT, SOME ACTUAL GOOD ADVICE FOR DEMOCRATS: When You Insult Trump Voters, You Make It Hard To Get Them Back.

There are legitimate criticisms of Trump’s policies, personnel choices, temperament and integrity. These should be pointed and sharp without getting in the pit.

Hillary Clinton’s remarks should be cause for greater concern. During the 2016 campaign, she derided half of Trump’s followers as “deplorables.” Her speech in India created a field day for Fox News and Republican campaigns that are trying to tie her remarks to Democrats like Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill, who is running for re-election in a state that Trump easily carried in 2016.

But the payoff for Democrats — the “dopamine hit” — is quite specifically in feeling superior to other Americans. That makes self-discipline in such things difficult.
