"the basket of deplorables"

according to Clinton deplorables are 25% of the electorate..
what is a" true deplorable" vs. another kind of deplorable?

One and the same. The Islamophobes (who would burn down Mosques), the homophobes (who would deny SSM), etc. Those are the true deplorables. There are a few on this forum. The others, those that perceive themselves as victims - the white undereducated males, for example - comprise the marginal deplorables. If they gave real thought into the person they are supporting, they would think otherwise. But they get caught up in Trump's words without much thought. Pretty sad, but they can redeem themselves. The other asswipes cannot.

How about the homophobes that populate the Democratic Party. Are they deplorables that can be redeemed?

such elitist claptrap. There was a poster here that did a " hierarchy of the victims" - or something like trying to measure
Democratic identity politics. It's all the Dem's think about. They are fanatical in their labeling of others.

They have lived on identity politics, cross infected with political correctness. It's why they come up with such constructs as "baskets of deplorables"


For myself, i'll go after Trumps disgusting language at times-but I'm not gonna vote solely on what any politician says.
Both Trump and Hillary are full of typical political promises. I look at where their ideas would lead if they actually governed

That's what's wrong with the whole conversation. According to Hillary and the left they have no deplorables. All those people rioting and burning their own communities down....guess what, those weren't Trump supporters.

Then Hillary is determined to allow untold numbers of Syrian immigrants into the country and many of them will be 'deplorable' democrat voters with some deplorable attitudes about women, gays, blacks and etc

Maybe Hillary and the left should mind their own tent before they worry about Trump's.

Trump has no ideas and couldn't articulate them if he did. Those that support him are as lost as the original teabaggers. Thinking that slogans and funny hats could translate into the ability to govern and legislate.

I don't excuse the black rioters, but I understand it. When you have generations that have been treated as they have, it generates a kind of hostility that most of us can't fathom. Denied the same rights as the rest of us until well into the 60s, with many still attempting to do so. That kind of frustration and a feeling of helplessness generates anger. An anger of generations. Sooner or later, that's gonna blow.

You guys tried your mightiest to label the Tea Party as racist.

As I recall it didn't turn out so well.

Am I allowed to not excuse anti-Muslim backlash even if I do understand it?

Even I know Clinton has ideas -hackneyed claptrap -but still ideas. Trump has proposals too. I'm no t gonna list them.

The tea party was a decent bunch until it got astroturfed by Dick Armey, and became just another establishment tool.

Trump, on stage, rejected any notion of racism, saying people who want secure borders “are not racists,” people who warn of “radical Islamic terrorism are not Islamophobes” and people who support police “are not prejudiced.” But moments later, he repeated the campaign slogan he borrowed from an anti-Semitic organization that opposed involvement in World War II.

“America First – remember that,” he said. “America First.”

That’s deplorable.

the 11 million are now just the criminal illegals -whatever number they gotta go.
'Build a wall" because we cannot control our borders -not just interception- but we use "catch and release" and other stupid stuff.

SA will buy their nukes from Pakistan when they want to, no mater what we do.
