here is a better example than her deplorables gaffe. when Hillary's own campaign manager says in private that Hillary hates everyday Americans, that goes way beyond working class--we're talking 50% of the citizens. voters aren't stupid. they can sense when a politician is full of BS and hates them. that's why they didn't vote for her.

I know she has begun to hate everyday Americans, but I think we should use it once the first time she says I'm running for president because you and everyday Americans need a champion.

I think if she doesn't say it once, people will notice and say we false started in Iowa."

In case anybody else stumbles on this thread, I'd highly encourage reading the actual email chain. In context, it's clear the meaning is "hate the phrase 'everyday Americans'" - perhaps because it's been overused. This is a speechwriting discussion.

Context and thinking about things- they're important! You really don't need to rely on this stuff to criticize Hillary Clinton, of all people, for being out of touch. Honestly, it almost comes off as downright malicious sometimes.
