“To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it. And unfortunately, there are people like that and he has lifted them up, he has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people, now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric. They are irredeemable not America.” Hillary Clinton grossly underestimating the numbers.
Good for her though because the media certainly will not tell the truth about this for share, and I am sure will be screaming about it before and after every F150 ad.
It’s not just the media who will not say it but senators and governors and House members other than those in the ever shrinking Black Caucus. So someone has to say it other than me to all three of you.
I do believe it is an underestimation though for she says it is half of the 40% Trump vote while it is more like 30% of the electorate or about 70% of white people.
This is also the same trouble Barack Obama got in in 2008 with saying the same thing with his “clinging to guns and religion” statement. And won a resounding victory no matter for those people are not going to change their character, their nature or their vote no matter what. So at this point what does it matter?
