(71,007 posts)contrary points, which do the arbitrary rulling-out, are asserted *vaguely*, obliquely, mysteriously, such as:
1) "yet these voters continue to vote for them" - So, the Repukes who are *more* elitist/etc. practice a formula of connecting with "these" voters in some way disguising themselves from the benighted voters? (or what?)
So, "This has little to do with messaging and tone" - sounds like the aforesaid disguising their true selves *IS* messaging and tone, if #1) is accepted which I don't.
2) "other factors that too many people refuse to acknowledge or admit..." - how about spelling out what, these, lo, mysterious factors are. We are tough enough to face them, but it's impossible to acknowledge or admit if we don't know what is being talked about.
*** And I'm not debater, more of a refuter of misrepresentations. It's not "discussion" to shoot down one opinion with another *opinion*. So I'm off.
