<p>Likely not much since we take it with a grain of salt and move on…consider the source. If anything were said it would just be to say that the reaction would be unbelievable if the roles were reversed.</p>
<p>I have never understood this identity politics in our current climate. Why should politicians try so hard to please certain segments of our society? </p>
<p>What will happen to me if I don’t fit into any of the groups? Does it mean that my interests are not going to be addressed?</p>
<p>No wonder a large segment of the population don’t follow politics.</p>
<p>I think it primarily because we vote in groups. They can pretty much count on the religious right to vote one way, the far left to vote another, the majority of blacks, the majority of hispanics, etc… I think that’s why it gets compartmentalized. The base fact is they want to win and playing to a broad audience is a losing strategy. They have to have different messages to different groups. (I’m sure you know this and it may have very well been a rhetorical question but…)</p>
<p>My guess is that if you don’t fit into a group already you are going to have to pick and choose out of what they say to other groups. lol</p>
