MSNBC: Walmart Voters

Reporter in the parking lot at Walmart in Ohio asking women who they support. Every one was a registered republican and they all hated Hillary. Who did they think they were going to be talking to in the parking lot at Walmart. How f'ing stupid!

This reporter was in the college gym at my son's school during the primaries. He didn't leave a great impression.

I can't deny it's there, but I've never understood it, especially from women.

7. She's been being unfairly smeared for decades

I think Republicans anticipated that she would one day run, so they piled their hate on Bill Clinton towards her too. They always defended him but she never really defended herself, so a lot of things stuck.

9. Try envy, jealousy

Women with boring lives, few true friends, unfilled dreams, disappointing and unsexy husbands, dreadful jobs versus HRC with an exciting life, millions of friends and supporters, a life more blessed and fulfilling beyond her wildest dreams, a still sexy and exciting husband, fabulous jobs as 1st lady, senator, SoS.

Which just goes to demonstrate that a life dedicated to service is more fulfilling and happier than a life dedicated to staying home and baking cookies.

The greatest accomplishments ever by Republicans is cognitive dissonance of their base. They have no problem believing totally contradictory information or supporting candidates who say opposite things at different times. Propaganda works and is a danger to democracy. And their M$M shills are enemies of an informed public.

10. I who does boycott a number of businesses, must defend some walmart shoppers

I have friends who think this is the place to shop to save money, no amount of talking to them convinces them about the scanner scams (it is always found in the annual scan checking that Walmart always scans at higher prices when wrong and they are wrong a lot where other stores scan above and below when wrong).
But just because the public has been brain washed to believe that Walmart is cheaper, does not mean they all hate Hillary, do not forget it is how the question is phrased that affects the answer and just who they ask, like are they only asking only one type of woman.

But yes, years of attacks is a millstone that Clinton is probably very aware. If you listen to FOX news,you will find whent hey cover anything they want to influence people on, they repeat it on every show in the exact same words, because that has the most impact of repetition.

8. My husband and another volunteer were doing voter registration at WalMart on Saturday
Mon Sep 26, 2016, 11:31 AM

They only registered a few people since most they talked to were already registered - and most of those were registered as Democrats!

When he goes out for these events my husband wears his Obama campaign tee shirts from 2008. Saturday he was wearing one with a BIG picture of Obama's face so non one he talked to was unaware of his political affiliation.

These folks are incapable of thinking critically or connecting the dots.
