“Bill Clinton had railed … for months,” Politico reported, against the Hillary Clinton campaign’s disinterest in the working-class, “wondering aloud at meetings why the campaign was not making more of an attempt to even ask that population for its votes.”
But why, after all, would the left want the votes of Americans they consider “deplorables,” voters who worry about their jobs leaving and their communities dying?
