It's like she was trying to lose.
Calling half the country "deplorable"
Dipshit you are trying win over people that don't agree with you. Don't ever insult them. It's like she was trying to win over people that already agreed with her.
My cousin was (is?) a Hilary supporter and quoted the New York fire chief or something that said "Trump supporters aren't wrong they are just misguided"
Not a whole lot of chance of them seeing your side when you believe them to be wrong,misguided, deplorable, basement dwellers, whatever.
Start with trying to understand why they believe what they believe for fucks sake.
