It's hardly ever going to turn out to have been the right call when a public person decides "to just be grossly generalistic."

-
But, my point is that the language that Clinton used—the "to just be grossly generalistic" line—suggests that she doesn't think it's so.
-
Clinton knows well how to present facts and numbers and information. She does it all the time and does it well. Here, she used a big caveat.
-
My point is: Why use that "grossly generalistic" caveat and then say the line? What was Clinton actually trying to accomplish here?
-
If she wanted to go at it, she could. But she didn't. She majorly hedged it by saying "grossly generalistic," then made the claim. She ...
-
... undermined the claim before she made it. I'm just confused. She knew the "basket" line would cause a ruckus, so why the huge hedging?
-
Please read the 8 preceding tweets (& this 1) together as one line of thought. I'm really just confused by combo of the hedge & the attack.

I think you're reading "my perspective" into some place, since I haven't given my perspective on Trump supporters here.

My discussion is about the hedging language that preceded it and asking why do that:https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/774457367522082816 …

@ParkerMolloy@fmanjoo I'm going to say "okay" and walk away because it's after 1am on a Friday night/Saturday morning -
Okay. I'm not sure what that means, but, okay.

I thought your (incredibly correct) grammar made that clear but ok.
-
I tried(!), but ~many~ seem confused.
-
seem confused or are being deliberately and provocatively disingenuous? Because: it's Twitter.

Hard to tell. To be grossly generalistic, I'd say half and half.
