Democratic Primaries
Showing Original Post only (View all)A pass-agg reminder: at this point in the 2016 cycle: [View all]
Hillary Clinton was the 2nd-most admired politician in the country, with approval ratings up in the 60s. By the time the actual primaries and caucuses rolled around, even smart liberal people had convinced themselves that there was somehow an ethical problem with working the lecture circuit, and her favorables were down with Trump's.
They can do this again, and they will try. If you think your particular candidate is immune, you're wrong. This is what Trump does. It will be something that, in retrospect, is equally as fatuous as working the lecture circuit.
Don't. Fall. For. Bullshit.
Don't. Spread. Bullshit.
