"the basket of deplorables"

anatta said:
Hillary Clinton said Friday that “half” of Donald Trump’s supporters could be grouped in “the basket of deplorables” at a fundraising event in New York City.

“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the 'basket of deplorables'. Right?” Clinton said to applause and laughter from the crowd of supporters at an LGBT for Hillary fundraiser where Barbra Streisand performed. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it.”

“And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up,” she added.

Clinton then noted, as she Now, some of those folks — they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America.”

Clinton then transitioned to a more positive message, calling for empathy for the “other half” of Trump’s supporters who feel left behind by the government and the economy.

“That other basket of people are people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they're just desperate for change,” Clinton said. “It doesn't really even matter where it comes from. They don't buy everything he says, but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different.
They won't wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroin, feel like they're in a dead end,” Clinton said. “Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well.”

The response from Trump's campaign came swiftly from campaign manager Kellyanne Conway who accused Clinton of "slandering" Trump's supporters.

In a statement from the campaign later, spokesman Jason Miller called the statement "deplorable."

“Just when Hillary Clinton said she was going to start running a positive campaign, she ripped off her mask and revealed her true contempt for everyday Americans," Miller said. "Tonight’s comments were more than another example of Clinton lying to the country about her emails, jeopardizing our national security, or even calling citizens ‘super-predators’ this was Clinton, as a defender of Washington’s rigged system – telling the American public that she could care less about them."

"And what’s truly deplorable isn’t just that Hillary Clinton made an inexcusable mistake in front of wealthy donors and reporters happened to be around to catch it, it’s that Clinton revealed just how little she thinks of the hard-working men and women of America," he added.

I think she was wrong and should apologize.


It's more like three quarters.

yep. and Hillary is the elite of the elites. At one time Bill Clinton came off as a populist -
or at least not a crazed left wing loon. Back when the DLC was normal liberal, not wonton "progressive".
Now he's nothing more then a race baiter.

The Democrats have drifted so far left -influenced by the intolerant PC crowd - that they think own a patent on righteous politics.
They take their base (black) for granted - while calling anyone not PC based ( notice her words about the various" phobics") deplorable.

They are snobbish (elitists), sanctimonious, self righteous - self appointed keepers of what are "real Americans" .
I find myself repulsed more and more at their divisiveness.

1) We can agree you're lying about coining the phrase Democrat Party. You know you're lying. So do I.
2) I have more family values than 99% of the Party of Family Values
3) Horsehit. It's more inclusive than the CONSERVATIVES that now comprise the Republican Party
4) Fine. Continue to expose yourself as an ignorant rube.

1. Nope. I remember exactly where I was and who I was with when I coined the phrase. That was well before I even heard Rush on the radio.
2. So you're with Party of Abortion? Odd.
3. Sure it is. /sarcasm. The leader of your party just demonized 1/4 of all Americans.
4. And you can continue to think what you want. I'm just more tolerant than you...

I am really not wasting time with your snotty superior attitude, unless you take the time to compose an idea
without vague references to my references. That would be my suggestion.

Clean up your language to the point you are asking a direct question -no I am not easily confused, but I am multi-tasking while working
and you need to make some declaratives without referencing so many prior posts.

Everybody (sic) hates racism- I also hate playing the race card like both Clintons were doing for political advantage

Your wasting your time and encouraging me to waste mine because you don't seem to be able to keep more than a few thoughts in your head at once.

I said that conservatives should purge the racists as Buckley did. Apparently, you had some sort of Pavlovian knee jerk reaction to the word "purge" and said that it was Stalinesque. You are dropping context. Buckley did not kill anyone or send them to Siberia. He merely confronted the racists and made it clear that they were not welcome in his conservative movement. What's wrong with that?

That's not how you use "sic." But I am not sure what you are implying? Are you saying that antipathy to racism is just a cynical act to gain votes?

Not sure why this is surprising out of Hillary or any of the establishment elitists. Including some on the so-called right.

Hillary has no use for some people in her own party---as Wiki leaks informed us. You can only imagine her opinion of working stiffs.

That said, it's refreshing to watch Hillary have to back track on a statement lol. It was a pretty stupid thing to say, given that Trump has the momentum.

I'm glad she backtracked. Trump never backtracks on any of his ugly comments; in fact, he doubles down on them.

1) Then tell us when it was, liar.
2) I've never mentioned my position on abortion, have I? More reading comprehension problems on your part.
3) She described most Trump supporters perfectly.
4) Continue to look like an uneducated moron if you'd like. I'm fine with that

None of your business. I was an elected official in the NYS Conservative Party in the late 1980's. THAT's when I coined the phrase that has your panties in a wad now...

The phrase has been used since the 1940's, you lying moron.

yada yada yada..if you would just SAY Something instead of complaining abut wasting time, why the continual referencing?

"I don't recall. I had a concussion at the time" to use a Hillaryism as she did when questioned by the FBI .

I have no fucking clue about what was said this morning - I'm yapping on the phone to my callers, and attempting to carry on
debates here. I've had about 75 conversations at least since my last post to you.

Mostly you come off as an arrogant prick, and I really don't give a fuck if you want to ask a clear concise questions -
or engage in debate with references you choose not to clarify. I do remember that much.

But either start over , and make a point -or not if you want to try to talk about what you want to.
Or not. I'm already onto another conversation....

You're so clueless you don't even realize race is irrelevant. Step away from the racialist punch bowel, it will destroy what's left of your brain.

It's kind of amazing, but one of the best enunciations of the Trump phenomenon I've seen came from Chris Matthews [yes that one]. I actually watched a 14 minute clip of Chris Matthews because he was nailing it. He was speaking to a bunch of rich liberals.

People are tired of incompetence in DC---Matthews called it 'sloppiness'. Tired of the condescension from the elite class.

I think the upper echelon liberals actually get it---but they don't quite know what to do about it, so they do the only thing they know, and make it a 'white working class' thing and trot out the race card.

If I can dig it up I'll post it.
