And I wasn't trying to win the hearts and minds (such as they are) of dimwitted deplorables either.  I was trying to communicate with members of this list who are, I presume, not dimwitted deplorables. Hillary told the truth and got into a lot of trouble for doing so, and I agree a good politician should know better than to do anything as foolish as to tell the truth, but I'm not running for office.

Image interviewing for a job, being questioned by a board of four people.  In a very true response, you comment “A quarter of the people on this board are in a basket of deplorables, racist, sexist, homophobic…”

 

If you reveal your honest attitudes, do you suppose you would get that job?

 

As soon as you uttered that comment, all four would shout in unison “NEXT!”
