Clinton Surrogate Ed Rendell Predicts Landside Of “Ugly Women” Voting For Clinton

Trump supporters have repeatedly objected to what is viewed as a bias in the media in favor of Hillary Clinton, including the failure to recognize that Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton have previously said things that are now denounced as hateful or extremist. Now a Clinton surrogate has sounded positively Trump like in his criticism of Trump. Ed Rendell, the former Pennsylvania governor and Philadelphia mayor had a curious way of analyzing the impact of statements by Trump about women on voters. I will say it again: this election cannot get more bizarre.

Rendell is quoted in the Washington Post as saying “Will he have some appeal to working-class Dems in Levittown or Bristol? Sure. For every one he’ll lose 1½ , two Republican women. Trump’s comments like ‘You can’t be a 10 if you’re flat-chested,’ that’ll come back to haunt him. There are probably more ugly women in America than attractive women. People take that stuff personally.”

Rendell’s rallying of “ugly women” did not produce a rebuke, but it would seem an odd pitch for crossover votes. He is right “people take that stuff personally” and that is precisely why the campaign may want to tweak this particular spin.
