Thom Hartmann says people want to vote FOR someone, not AGAINST someone
He then said negative campaigning only works to reduce the number of people voting overall.
He then said this would be the negative result of negative campaigning by Hillary.
Then what he didnt say, but I know he agrees with, but maybe he didnt even realize he was saying it, is:
"some folks just wont vote at all as a result of negative campaigning, implying it would mostly be those who would have supported Bernie, and if they wont vote in the spring, they sure as heck wont vote in the Fall"
Right?
Anybody else hear him?
Therefore...anybody know where I am going with this?
I guess not...I will fill in the blanks. If negative campaigning means you wont vote, then you are the problem.
