The Hillary Unplugged tour made it to India this week, where the former presidential candidate modified her theory as to why she lost the 2016 election. This time, it wasnt James Comey, or even the Russians" that did her in. In fact, it was the Americans. Here is what she said:

Forget the untoward spectacle of Clinton casting all of her opponents as people opposing black people getting rights. (There is a staff editorial about that on this website.) What I find particularly interesting is the bizarre strand of Ayn Rand-ism in Clintons sentiments.

She boasts, after all, that the areas she won represent two thirds of Americas gross domestic product. Thats true: The Democrats have in many respects become the party of Americas economic winners. But whats odd is that Clintons economic analysis quickly becomes a moral judgment. Those Americans stuck in the parts of the country with flagging GDP (those forgotten Americans, as Donald Trump called them) arent just economically struggling. They are backwards, and opposed to civil and womens rights.

In other words, Clintons remarks represent nothing so much as a bizarre strand of Ayn Randism. Clinton, like Rand, seems to be suggesting that high GDP peoplea.k.a. Americas producerspeople dont just have more money than the rest of us. Shes saying theyre better people, too. And as for the Trumpian masses out in low GDP America? What a bunch of takers!
