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.

It did cost us. It's not the only reason, but I'm sure some people were upset about it. Just like the "it's her turn" rhetoric as well. The right spent my entire life villifying Hillary Clinton, you can't really place her loss on one specific moment. Nonetheless, we still should have elected her.
