Editor's Note:  This is the first in a series of elitist condescensions toward all you regular Americans, working-class Americans, hard-working, regular class Americans, all things Heartland, and anyone who lives in a flyover state.  Just to be explicit:  yes, I do think I'm better than you.  -- MT

Yes that's right, I think they're rubes, at least the 25 percent of whites who voted for Clinton in the primary yesterday and said that race was a factor in their vote.  That's right, 25 percent of Clinton voters virtually admitted they were racist.  How many more are but didn't admit it?  So yes, if you're going to vote for a white woman over a black man and say that race was a factor in your vote, then this San Francisco latte-sipping elitist thinks that you're a dumbass yokel.
