Message to Clinton voters about Donald Trump
Playwright George Bernard Shaw is quoted as saying:
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.
That’s good advice for
Hillary Clinton. When she climbs into the mud with
Donald Trump and his supporters, she gets dirty, and they seem to like it. For example, at a New York City fundraiser on Friday,
Clinton said:
You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it.
There’s plenty of evidence that a portion of Trump’s supporters really are deplorable. However, the problem with these remarks (which Clinton has since walked back a bit), isn’t their truth, it’s that Clinton shouldn’t be the one making them.
