(81,297 posts)You're spot-on about the "pretty fucking stupid sheep" out there in voter land. Look what we got because THEY have the right to vote?
Well, okay then. Let's meet some of them at THEIR level, but with a candidate who actually has brains, common sense, the common touch, a demonstrated public track record of helping those in need and using her wealth and power and clout to help the "little guy (and gal)", name recognition you can't even begin to count - because nobody can count that high, a successful track record in business (take THAT, trump! And SHE did it without lying, cheating, getting in bed with an avowed enemy of our country, hanging out with mobsters, laundering money, filing for multiple bankruptcies, or stiffing people), and TONS of appeal - much of it on a very visceral level that reaches those who "vote with their gut." She doesn't need ANY introduction and she knows how to work the media. TREMENDOUSLY media-savvy, which in THIS weird-ass day and age, can't be underestimated or sneered at or shrugged off.
All the white women who allowed themselves to be conned into voting for trump? Which IS what happened on the last election day? A LOT of those women, from those states, CROWDS of them, ARMIES of them, stood in line and packed into the studio to see her show and to be part of her audience, and made their "Oprah time" every day to watch her on TV and hang on her every word. And buy her magazine. And watch the shows she produces. And listen closely, and embrace, what she said.
