Quote of the Day
“Part of the toxicity of the brand is that we are condescending elites who think we are better than everyone else...And when a bunch of swing voters are like, ‘You are right, Trump is bad,’ if your reaction is, ‘Of course he is bad, you stupid idiot,’ it’s such political malpractice to me.”
Lehrich of the Nobody Knows Anything political podcast on how Democrats are unwelcoming of regretful Trump voters.
