BTW Lenny, the Bosnia thing was a big blunder of trying to overstate her experience and she deserved to be hammered on it, and when Bill brought it back up he and she deserved to be called out on it again.

But to equate inflating the resume vs being condescending and telling people the only reason the rural citizen has religion and guns is because they are bitter about their jobs and economic standing is beyond crazy. Calling the voters bitter wasn't great but it also wasn't the biggest problem. It was the fact he said because they are bitter they cling to their religion and guns and hatred of trade and immigrants. That was just a crazy thing to say, and only said because he thought he was in a closed room of supporters with no press or cameras. If he had just said voters in rural PA were bitter with their job loses and left it at that, it would be pretty much a non story.
