On Friday's broadcast of HBO's "Real Time," host Bill Maher stated that "Democrats run for office as if the voters don't live here, as if they don't go to the grocery store and Starbucks and the office. But they do. They live here, and they actually see women and people of color, and it doesn't look like some patriarchal, racist nightmare." And "The basis for Democratic campaigns has become, we're the smart people. That we know from the get-go. No need to look into that." And criticized the "intellectual incest" of the party.
