Truckasaurus, because the obama machine wouldn't show up to the fight, and instead would stay on some rich-person retreat.

Hillary was trying, in that quote, to call out those elements while reaching across to those who weren't like them. She was trying to attack the literal nazis and guys who think fluoride makes you (and frogs)gay who Trump managed to attract. Alex Jones thinks Bush did 9/11 for gently caress's sake.

She did it by labeling half of her opponent's supporters something catchy, not by specifically calling out the dangerous elements that she was trying to call out. That people still defend the misstep because "well but there were dangerous elements in the Trump campaign" is crazy. It was a terrible step not because it was false, but because it was something served up on a platter that she just completely hosed up.

she made essentially the same mistake while trying to make a similar statement about Bernie voters too, dont forget

ya exactly. the takeaway was 50% of trump voters are the vile hateful monsters. the other 50% are in it for the tax cuts or got duped. point is you want to get the duped ones to vote for ya (she tried to get the tax cut ones but lolllllllll that was not happening)
