Charlie Hurt: Trump ‘Never Attacks’ the Voters on the Other Side
EXCERPT:
HURT: "That right there is the primary difference between, of course, Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Donald Trump attacks the party leaders, even Republican Party leaders, oftentimes. He attacks Washington, he attacks the bureaucracy, but he never attacks the voters on the other side. Whereas you have Joe Biden openly — and a lot of Democrats openly attacking voters on the other side. It’s not that people get their feelings hurt, it’s just a really stupid way to do politics. It’s not a good way to win people over. And as Jessica points out, you know, Chris Matthews is kind of a has-been. He’s always sort of billed himself as the least insane person in the cult and he tries to say things that are kind of true, such as when he talked about Obama’s speech giving him a thrill up his leg so much that he couldn’t even give words to describe it, he was so passionately moved by it. But that is who Chris Matthews is. But what he said here, this to me kind of goes over into something that is very dangerous. And when he starts comparing Trump supporters to terrorists, Trump supporters to our combatants in Afghanistan and Iraq, and then we do a poll and find out that young people think highly of Osama bin Laden, well, gee, you think maybe there is a line that connects the two?"
