3. No I don't agree. It carries a whiff of searching for offense to be taken.
You want to be offended so you decide arbitrarily that she was talking about non-Obama supporting Democrats rather than general election voters at large. Or, let's get more specific: you're taking it as a dig against anyone who supports Hillary Clinton, arbitrarily deciding that they must be failing this test. That's your spin and only exists because you prefer that it be so. You prefer that the woman's assumed to be talking like a cutthroat, hypersensitive political activist.

You don't even for one microsecond think of her as possibly speaking as if there is such a thing as fellow Democrats to her and that she might allow for the possibility that non Obama supporters actually want the country to get better, that you might actually be, oh, on the same freaking side from her perspective. Nope, can't be that. Who would waste valuable time and oxygen saying something that's not a secret dagger stabbing others in the back, front or flank.

You are of course, free to zero in on the absolute worst interpretation of what she said under the assumption that it must be so. I just feel like you're assuming that she's a hardcore hater of any Democrat who doesn't support her husband without any whiff of genuine evidence that such a thing is remotely true.

Sorry for ranting. I just get annoyed when normal people get beat up for their normality. Some of my best friends are normal people. No, really...
