You can't win elections if you don't grow up and stop hating voters

79. Trump didn't hate on voters. Not exactly, anyway.

He tapped into people's hatred of "others" while never clearly nailing down who that really is, aside from foreigners, who by definition aren't voters. He left up filling in the blank to all of them. Some of them took it as blacks, some took it as homosexuals, etc. But Trump himself never nailed it down, leaving enough wiggle room in people's heads for those who did get labeled by some to tell themselves, "Well, that's surely not me." After all, Trump did quickly establish himself as a master of weasel words in this election.

You ever work around a clique of idiots? And when something goes sideways, the boss gets pissed, they all just assume it must be somebody else? Same sort of thing on a wider scale.

OTOH, the hateful in here (and the whole party) are being quite specific: anyone and everyone who voted for Trump is a piece of shit, and their votes are neither wanted nor needed. That leaves no wiggle room and just tosses out millions of potential (and even some former) party supporters. THAT will cost us more elections.
