    I do not disagree that Hillary’s presence is a net negative. But her presence is the negative.

    What she does, or what she did, counts for approximately dick. “In the eyes of the Republican demographic,” she could say exactly what they wanted to hear, and it would still count against her. The Idiot lost no votes among the cult because they’re a fucking cult. They do not care what anyone says. They don’t mean things when they say words.

    Fixating on words is the mistake. These people don’t give a shit what anyone says. They’re only looking at who says it.

    Fretting about how people respond to her, once they’ve made clear they’ll respond to anything she says like she’s the devil, is not useful. The nature of bad faith is that there is no right answer.
