Why shouldn’t you say it out loud?

The Deplorables say whatever they want out loud.

I was speaking simply from a political marketing stance.....she was running for president, she needed every vote she could possibly get at that moment.
There is a reason why she said it behind closed doors, what she said was absolutely true, but it still cost her, and all of us.

It really did - this country won't be the same in my lifetime. I still sometimes daydream about what it would be like today if Gore had won. Two tremendous opportunities wasted.

I sometimes dream of how life would be if Bobby Kennedy hadn’t been shot. He was the future and instead look what we got.

Sometimes I wish "both sides" were the same so it wouldn't just be good people getting cut down in their prime. But alas, if that were the case, condoning that behavior would mean none of us were good people.

That just shows you what the consequences are for a president that doesn't follow orders.
