“there’s more of us than there are of them”
Pro tip: When you’re in a hole, stop digging.
Cut the guy some slack. Yes, he phrased his point (that Trump is offensive, particularly to unattractive women) rather poorly.
But he is right, I hope. It is Trump’s many intentional insults, not Rendell’s unintended one, that will sway votes.
so what you’re really saying is that ugly women WILL vote for Donnie Dimwit?
Rendell said he was mocking his own appearance and that he was trying to note that “there’s more of us than there are of them”
Who knew Ed Rendell was an ugly woman?
That was funny
Thanks, Ed…
You just wrote a campaign for the donnie…
Only Ugly Women Vote for Hillary
And Rendell is a joke.
So…from the perspective of unrealistic beauty standards that we regularly rail against, what he’s saying isn’t wrong or offensive. I get how this is a fumble and inarticulate, but we may spend too much effort trying to find problems with things people say instead of understanding them in the context they are said.
This isn’t the normal Republican “say the horrible thing more nicely”, it’s the reverse.
Corporatist blue dog ex governor adopts right-wing meme of liberal/progressive women somehow are not so attractive? Sounds likely to me.
