12. They'd never vote for Hillary anyway ... why bother trying to appeal to them?

May 2016

They make themselves irrelevant, they do so intentionally and willingly ... they're proud of it, and they brag about it ... and then when they realized they've given up any chance they have of influencing or guiding the party, and that nobody is listening to them, they loudly COMPLAIN that they're being ignored and treated as though they're irrelevant.

Go figure.
