I’m a registered Independent voter. I’ve been watching your political career since 1992. Your good points are also your bad points: you are a career politician and you show many signs of being a paid corporate shill. Okay. At the worst, that means you know that politics and business are nuanced affairs.
You are also the only adult in the room, when it comes to this American Presidential election. So don’t make Barack Obama’s mistake, of pandering to the sensibilities of racist, homophobic, anti-science, isolationist ‘bitter clingers’ who would rather give blowjobs to a Communist dictator than truly make America Great.
Don’t apologize. Don’t back down. You were right in mentioning that half of Trump’s supporters were well-meaning but desperate people who feel the world has let them down and left them behind.
They aren’t the ones in the basket of deplorables.
Too late for Clinton. She’s already run to the right. It’s what neo-liberals do. And what has it gotten her? A couple of percentage points ahead of a no-nothing fascist bigot. Whoever wins the White House, America is screwed.
I know! The people she’s trying to appease will never vote for her, anyway. As much I don’t like her…I’m more worried by mirror-deflecting Trump and his more-rabid followers. At the very least they’ll follow the GOP obstructionist playbook. At worst they’ll try for Civil War II.
