Groan. Why can't they just do that in private? You know Fox News will air this 24/7 for a week now

Who cares? It's Jerry Brown. It's not like he has a long national political career ahead of him.

[Ebsy]

who care

[ProgressiveCanadian]

Yes because blaming voters won you the election last time...

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

There's no call for insulting cave dwellers by comparing them to Trump supporters.

[ProudModerate2]

There's no call for insulting cave dwellers by comparing them to Trump supporters.

[Virginiá]

I highly doubt Brown cares. Not everyone is coordinating strategy for the party. As human beings, sometimes, they just kind of, say things...

[Cactus Jack]

Who cares. Attacks like this have been the law of the land for decades, and Brown has long since passed the age of giving a s**t about what people think.

[Green Line]

We're all Americans.  We must all unite and respect each other despite our political differences.  One nation under GOD.

[TDAS04]

There's no call for insulting cave dwellers by comparing them to Trump supporters.

[Santander]

And we're proud of it!

[America Needs R'hllor]

And we're proud of it!

See, Santander's support for Trump weakened considerably recently. But attacks like Brown's are just unproductive and cause people whom he attacks to solidify in their positions, which is a natural and human reaction to being attacked.

[AtorBoltox]

He's absolutely right

[DrScholl]

The chronically offended will continue to be the chronically offended.

[Cactus Jack]

The chronically offended will continue to be the chronically offended.

What a bunch of snowflakes.

[Young Conservative]

Democrats are so out of touch it's sad. "oh! I know how we will win back the millions of Obama-Trump voters! Let's call everyone who voted for Trump stupid, racist, cave dwelling deplorables!"

Not only is it tasteless and vile, it's horrible campaign strategy.

[tallguy23]

The right wing already hates California and Brown is out next year and probably retiring. He doesn't give a f***.

There is no privacy, and for Governor Brown there is no obvious consequence.

Jerry Brown has sen it all, but Trump and his cult is altogether new and horrible.

The truth hurts somtimes. The Obama-Trump voters have to realize what a horrible error they made. How can they do that if no one ever tells them?

The truth hurts somtimes. The Obama-Trump voters have to realize what a horrible error they made. How can they do that if no one ever tells them?

Maybe by observing for themselves? Coming to conclusions of "oh this policy isn't what I like and isnt good for the country" instead of "YOU'RE ALL RACISTS"?

Racists? No. Suckers for a demagogue?

Brown never said anything about race...

Observation: conservatives tend to whine about being called racists more than they are actually called racist. They twist themselves into knots trying to turn some sort of comment about the conservative mindset into a racebaiting comment.

I was adding on to the answer to Silent Cal's post, which mentioned those voters being called racist. I know Brown didn't say that.

My comment also applies to what Cal said.

Hey Jerry, maybe you should have endorsed someone in the primary who could have beaten Trump rather than the candidate that you felt was so terrible 24 years earlier that you were criticizing her during a debate, even though she wasn't running.
