Exactly. As I said above, Hilary backtracked/avoided the "deplorable" comment at the time after she said it. Sure, she has doubled down since she lost, but had she been more aggressive at the time, particularly in those 3 or 4 states she presumed she'd win and ignored, who knows? We need to stop tip-toeing around the fact that MAGA Republicans (I love it as a new pejorative that will hopefully stay historically accurate - MAGA sounds derogatory when you say it) aren't good for this country. The Dems don't need to win them over anymore and they should stop trying. They need to convince the rest of the party that don't vote/hold nose and vote Trump/write in/vote libertarian that they should think like Cheney and Kinzinger and put team aside for now to flush MAGA out of power or into Larouche-land where they belong.
Let Trump make the "I guess he doesn't want to MAGA, so why should he president?" comments. It's pedantic and as stupid as his claim that he didn't leave the top secret docs on the floor. The only people buying that are the ones that are already devoted to him.
