The Fatal Flaw in the Post-Mortem Analyses

[NRQ891]

40. they can smell condecendsion, that's for sure

and I disagree completely with these statements:

"The truth is that when asked, the average voter isn’t quite sure that the Civil War actually happened, no less which side won.

despite the fact that the average voter can’t tell you who the president was on September 11, 2001.


They can tell you what movie won Best Picture in 1974, but they can’t tell you why Nixon resigned."


But you did touch on an issue that part of this party's message is 'if you don't support us, it's because you're too stupid to know what's best for you -or maybe it's because you're a racist. or more likely both'

people have a natural and healthy distrust of arrogance

and some of that was the candidate herself - speaking of Nixon, what if someone asked him if he erased the missing 18 minutes of tape and he replied 'what - with a pencil top?'

how do you think that might have come across to the public, and to young Hillary, who was part of the investigation?
