Clinton: Half of Trump supporters fall into `basket of deplorables’
Hillary Clinton, noting she was being “grossly generalistic” at a New York fundraiser Friday, didn’t have very nice things to say about Donald Trump’s supporters, which numbered 13.3 million in the Republican primaries.
“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?”she told the crowd, which reacted with laughter and applause. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that.

I’m sorry…I really am…but Hillary Clinton and her team simply reek of the worst kind of upper middle class white entitlement!!! Has she no one to advise her that throwing white American middle and working class Trump supporters under her bus in a container marked “deplorables” is roughly akin to Trump’s earlier remarks about Mexican immigrants.
When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people. 6/16/15
Only Clinton’s gaffe is worse. Much worse politically.
Why? How?
Like this:
1-Trump wasn’t likely to get a huge latino vote anyway. As a political calculation, his statement won him more voters than he lost.
And even worse…(politically speaking)
2-HRC needs working class/middle class white undecideds and independents. If she and her brain trust think that she doesn’t, they are in for a rude awakening. Is it possible for someone of a given race to be racist against that race? Sure. Self-hating Jews are one example of a meme like that. People like Ben Carson are another. The “house negro” meme.
Hillary Clinton has now opened up a third.
Plantation-owner whites.
Sheesh!!!
Tone deaf like a motherfucker!!!
And the choice of the word “deplorables”!!!
Who does she think she is, Margaret fucking Dumont?
They are deplorables, sir!!! Every last one of them!!!
Lord!!!
I mean…even it it were true!!! (Which it is not.)
Watch the polls this week.
Watch.
Y’all centrist/leftiness/PermaGov supporters done picked the wrong center. You were off by a country mile.
Bet on it.
Unbelievable.
Watch.
