She isn't really wrong but you have to be very careful about making remarks like these if you're in politics, it doesn't exactly endear you to the electorate you're trying to win over.

Certain sections of the left have a problem with this in the UK too with regards to UKIP voters, Brexiter's, those concerned with immigration. There is of course an element of truth to remarks and sentiments like these but what's happening with Trump isn't too dissimilar to what happened in Britain. When people feel marginalised and disillusioned, they will turn to fringe parties, causes and people as an outlet to express their concern - it's happening all over Europe too and it's why we're seeing the rise of both the far right and far left.

Unfortunately on both sides of the Atlantic people's very real and very valid fears and concerns are being addressed with the wrong answers - nationalism, segregation, prejudice etc etc. What needs to happen is these people need to be listened to and their questions need to be given the actual right answers. Now this is always going to be difficult with an overwhelmingly right leaning media but insulting huge swathes of disenfranchised people seeks only to push them away further. We and she cannot afford to be doing this at such a hostile and critical time in both US and British politics.
