Don’t get me wrong. I think Obama’s comments at a San Francisco fund-raiser—where he said that “bitter” working-class voters “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them”—was a dumb choice of words and a damaging mistake. The polls could be wrong and the gaffe could end up harming him. Hillary, placing all of her chips on the incident, is already running ads in Pennsylvania telling voters that Obama looks down on them....
