The senior foreign policy advisor had become a liability after recent negative comments about Hillary Clinton.
  • Hey Doc

    You parsed my words in a misleading way just so you could get all preachy. My point was that my personal experience and the electoral data tell the same story - Hillary draws support disproportionately from women and people who are less informed. In my experience, which involves only a few dozen people that I have actually talked politics with recently, she especially draws support from women who are not exactly wonkish on political issues, yet preoccupied with gender issues. I am sorry if my observations and the electoral data make you angry.

    You can call me an elitist or a jerk. Considering that I have only a bachelor's degree from a state school, make very little money, and do not come from a wealthy family, I am not sure how I could be an elitist. As far as being a jerk, well, that's subjective. I could probably do a better job of being a nice guy all the time, but I do what I can.
