I can just picture Donald Trump skipping down “ANY STREET,” USA, with a basket of “deplorables” in his hand. And, obviously, so can Hillary Clinton! But, seriously, where did Hillary (or rather, who in her political camp) ever got the idea that attacking Donald Trump’s supporters by referring to them as “deplorables” would gain her political points. Was this some sort of “reverse psychology?” Illumination, she thought. They will “see the light” and have some sort of an “epiphany,” an experience of sudden and striking realization that they could not see before! They will join my side, said Hillary! Yes, divide and conquer! In Hillary’s mind, attacking Donald’s supporters could only cause divisiveness. What better? Well, in fact, we all know that when attacked one will “double up,” not divide.
So, who are Donald Trump’s supporters? Without hesitation, one can simply say, they are Republicans, as opposed to Democrats. But really, are they the “Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it,” as Hillary cites. Thank goodness the Democratic Party has none of these outstanding individuals!
It would seem that Donald Trump has captured a portion of the American “working-class,” along with the “middle-class.” They have joined “Camp Donald.” It has been a long time since the “hard working class” has made itself heard in the world of American politics. The working-class values “emphasize external standards, such as obedience and a strong respect for authority as well as little tolerance for deviance. This is opposed to middle-class individuals who emphasize internal standards, self-direction, curiosity and a tolerance for non-conformity. Nonetheless, these two groupings of people are those that Hillary has pointed to as the “deplorables.” Needless to say, a BIG mistake.
When looking closely at this election, one may wonder if there are shades of the 1980 election where the term Reagan Democrat was coined to describe moderate Democrats who are more conservative than liberal on certain issues like national security and immigration. Coincidently, or not, two outstanding issues of this election relate to national security and immigration. Has Donald courted these voters? But of more concern, do these Reagan Democrats form part of the “basket of deplorables” Hillary references?
As of this day, we have yet to know the full impact of Hillary’s famous, or should I say infamous, term “basket of deplorables.” What we do know is that Hillary has expressed “regret” for having stated the aforementioned term. In the same vein, Hillary further commented, “I was ‘grossly generalistic,’ and that’s never a good idea.” I can only but hear Donald reversing that phrase to state…”she was ‘generally gross’ and that’s never a good idea!” It is all simply deplorable!
J. Stewart Cook has been involved in Canadian politics since he was a teen. He was actively involved during Prime Minister Brian Mulroney’s era during the latter years of the Cold War, serving as an advisor to three different Members of Parliament and Press Secretary to Stewart McInnes, a Federal Cabinet Minister from Nova Scotia. Mr. Cook left active politics in 1988 and entered the Canadian Federal government as a civil servant in the field of Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP). He retired from the government in 2011 as Director of ATIP for one of the Federal Departments. He currently lives in Ottawa.
In one word, Hillary managed to sum up exactly how the political elite and the alt-left feel about the working class.
In three words, our response: Je suis Deplorables!
Just now tried watching Hitlary’s speech in Greensboro but cannot stomach the new improved kinder gentler facade she has erected in the past few days.
(Not a single indication today that she really does have pneumonia.)
The screeching harpy really screwed the pooch with that comment. Over time, it might cost her a few points in a close election. Like the 47% comments by willard, they were intended for another audience, and they’re sticking with the candidate as a reflection of their arrogance.
She cannot hide who and what she is. Most people KNOW IT. The rest just do not want to believe it. They are becoming fewer and fewer.
GO TRUMP!!!

I understand!
I left my TV tuned to the Fox News channel but wasn’t paying attention ... lol. I walked to the mailbox and back, so I have no idea if FNC covered her entire speech. I see that Cavuto is conversing with Jack Welch right now.
TYVM, 2ndDivisionVet.
Unless the demonicrats successfully pull-off their usual fraud in the key big mid-western cities, I think Donald Trump is looking PDG for a major landslide provided he does PDG in the debates, (which I think and I’m praying he will).
Hillary can baffle her followers with wonky policy BS so as to appear knowledgeable and experienced, but Trump can slice and dice her like no other. He is likeable and she is NOT. He likes people and she doesn’t.
What we do know is that Hillary has expressed “regret” for having stated the aforementioned term.
Not true. She said she shouldn’t have used the word “half”. Her campaign manager, when asked the number she should have used, said “It’ greater than zero, I can tell you that.”

Thanks to onyx and 2ndDivisionVet.
If POS Soetero can pull concert sized crowds, synthetically, by appending actual concerts, then it should go that DJT will be elected in a landslide, as he actually pulls off concert sized crowds with himself as the opening act and primary act.

Good one.
From the article:
“...It is worth noting that this latest installment of the New York Times/ CBS poll is the first to include a measure of likely voters,...”
So they didn’t include likely voters before?
I. Hate. The. Media.
Projection by SHillary, she’s DEPLORABLE!!
Thirty years in politics and Hillary never learned the basics: "Its not
about how much the voters love the candidate as much as it is about how
much the candidate seems to like the voters."
