"Screw 'Em"
Does anyone think this will stick?
With all the fuss and false controversy about Obama possibly being condescending to working class voters by the Clinton campaign; I'd be interested to see how they respond to this very clear, very bitter statement from then First Lady Hillary Clinton.

She's a hypocrite for pretending to be all working class now but I actually have to stick up for Hillary here.
She didn't say that about "working class voters" but about southern Republican whites.
And if they fled the party out of racism, she's right - screw em. They do nothing for the Democrats so why bend over backwards to appease them?

Congratulations on being the fifth person to post this topic without bothering to see that it's already here! Excellent research!

The more times the merrier, I think. Maybe this will end up on TPM page one. Go ahead and rec all five of them.

I looked for it before I posted it and could not see a topic. Perhaps they hadn't posted to the site yet even if the previous four people had already hit submit.
Regardless, TPM hasn't posted it (which disappoints me) so I guess us TPM readers have to do our part.

There are two sources that corrobated this story, and the Clinton camp didn't deny this.

But that's just it.
Bill made the point clearer. It's issue politics.
People have to understand that this isn't about race and party affiliation. On both sides.
There are a lot of Republicans "bitter" about how and what they voted for in the past. So are Democrats.
Wasn't it supposed to be that PA was a racist state.
So proclaimed by Hillary's own supporters?

Sadly, this probably won't be a big deal unless someone has tape on it. That's how politics seem to go, nowadays.
