It's very reminiscent of Hillary's "deplorables" comment, isn't it? The smug sense of self satisfaction comes oozing from the screen.

Big picture it doesn't matter if she was right or not

Trump won the election and we all lost because of it.

I understand the anger but I encourage you not to emulate the Clinton/Establishment Democrat deep commitment to never learning anything that might require the smallest bit of accountability.

Judging by some of the recent punditry I have seen from the likes of Axelrod and Matthews they haven't learned shit.

A bit yes, but that's not the real issue.

The bigger problem here is that it represents a complete misreading of the situation.

The racism and misogyny we're seeing at the poles aren't justifiable, they are terrible, dangerous things, and I am not trying to down play that.

That said, they are a symptom of the problem and not the root cause.

If you never treat the virus, you shouldn't be surprised when the fever doesn't break.
