      @HeerJeet thinks this is a bad take and Trump’s racial appeals were just fine. To be emulated in fact.pic.twitter.com/qGcX8LM4D5

      I think he's just making the same mistake that many others are making, conflating a quote about Trump's campaign message (what Clinton actually said) with one about his supporters (what Clinton didn't say).

      I don't believe that. The headline sets up a juxtaposition that is perhaps designed to confuse people. But if you read the actual quote, it's largely unobjectionable.

      I think Clinton's speech rather than headline is problem. She took true fact (that she did well in more dynamic areas) but spun it in a way that sounds like she doesn't realize failure of her campaign.

      What part of her speech are you referring to? The truthful part?

      There are ways of saying true things that draw people in and ways of saying them that alienate them. Just on level of messaging, Clinton's remarks aren't going to help with Obama-to-Trump voters Dems need to win back.

          Oh please, to you the "alienating part" is the part where it's coming out of her mouth. If it were someone else's mouth, you wouldn't recoil.

          She's not running. Also, why is she responsible for getting back Obama-to-Trump voters?

          The first part is the point Jeet and most pundits don't get, she's never running again and thus feels free to speak her mind

          And you are making up nonsense to justify your Clinton sliming. She wasn't wrong, you are, and sit down.

          Hillary cannot speak without offending Right-wingers and the far left. What you want is for her to go away because Hillary Derangement Syndrome is so bad. I think she shouldn't have to censor herself just because Americans are such misogynists.

          That is delusional. There is absolutely zero way to confront the self defeating toxicity of rural American culture without identifying it, and to identify it accurately is to insult. She’s not an active pol, so leave the bs white working class circle jerks to Biden and Bernie

          Why the fuck are you as a journalist not foremost concerned with objective facts? Stop demanding politicians talk around issues and start actual useful discussions when they do. Instead of writing about Clinton should tell the truth in a nicer way, maybe write about the issues?
