(65,044 posts)And where is the lie? He never said anything about Hillary in that entire discussion. He specifically referred to the introspection post-election. That has nothing to do with HRC.
And i agree with him, because my first instinct is to consider every Trump voter a racist, a xenophobe, or a moron. After some consideration, they all can't be one of those three. Yet, i admit i first lumped them all into the deplorable category.
Underinformed, maybe. Analytically challenged, probably. But not necessarily morons.
A little xenophobic, perhaps. Abjectly racist with malice, probably not.
So, i'm willing to learn that some of these people were just misguided. Now, i'm not for playing nice with them, but we have to develop tactics to get them to realize they voted against their own best interests and got manipulated over the nothing email scandal that had them trusting a con artist more than HRC.
So, if you're going to disagree with Sanders, fine. But since he is not talking about HRC here, then give some thought as to what "lies and misrepresentations" you're talking about.
I'm not seeing them.
