Yesterday in Florida, Hillary Clinton had this to say about the voters who support Donald Trump:
“…you know, I am sick and tired of the negative, dark, divisive, dangerous vision and behavior of people who support Donald Trump,”
This time she didn't limit her attack on half of Trump's supporters like she did with her "basket of deplorables" comment. No, now she just lumps all Trump supporters together and castigates them for their vision and behavior.
I doubt that Hillary is going to switch her campaign slogan to "Bring Us Together" any time soon.
I truly don't remember any national campaign where the candidate attacked the voters on the other side, got roundly criticized for doing so and then came back to attack those voters again. Hillary and the Democrats frequently say that Trump is a threat to American democracy. Hillary, however, is the one who pushes hate for those on the other side. Hillary is the one who is divisive. Hillary is the one who makes generalizations about what motivates those who do not support her. Hillary is the one who creates a false caricature of those who vote against her and then denounces those millions of American citizens for their "dangerous" vision and behavior.
Come to think of it, maybe the new Hillary slogan should be "Hillary's the one"; of course, that would be a retread of "Nixon's the one". How appropriate.
