4. To be honest the rural voter comments are the most worrying

I mean how many years ago did Obama say his stuff about god and guns and people still whine about it. And of course, we hear endlessly about the basket of deplorables from Clinton. These comments are exponentially worse. I am certainly not in love with the other stuff he said, but people who have the opinions I have will vote for anyone over a Republican at this point, the middle of the road voter won't. And they are offended by these comments.
