Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon addressed The Citadel Republican Societys 2017 Patriot Dinner, regaling the crowd at the storied Charleston, South Carolina, military academy with tales of the 2016 Trump campaign, of which he was CEO. Maam, with all do respect, what happened is that you got your ass kicked, Bannon told the diners, mocking What Happened, Hillarys heavily-promoted, 900-page tome on her unexpected defeat after nearly four years of anointment as the next President of the United States, in which she blames nearly everything but her own weakness as a candidate.
The remark came after a spirited recollection of the play-by-play of the roller-coaster election night that saw an ordained victory for Hillary Clinton transmute into the Trump triumph Bannon claimed to know was a 100 percent metaphysical certainty.
Bannon explained the development of the Trump coalition that, in his words, won the single greatest come-from-behind victory in American political history.

As many have noted, it should be all due respect.
Some arent catching the implication: all due respect can include zero respect, which is all Hillary Clinton is due...
At the end of the day, I get really tired of the use of trite phrases in any way, shape, manner or form.
Being in the Whitehouse cramped his style.
Pence will do just fine.
What happened is we the people woke up to the scofflaw in such numbers Ms. Pathological Liar Hillary Clinton got her lyin’ ass kicked.
It was only possible, because we had someone running for President as tired of the BS as we the people that we could get behind.
Your post made me curious so I had to do some research. If your "do respect" is the proper usage, you are definitely in the minority. With all due respect seems to be the universally accepted usage.
It was nice of Bannon to answer the question for her.
Yes.
“Could it be a smarmy way to inject the phrase insincerely?”
I think it’s in the same category as, “Bless your heart.”
Maybe I didn’t word my Post #8 correctly. “Due respect” is most definitely the correct usage. “Do respect” makes no sense at all. I was surmising how in the world “do respect” appeared in the article.
"With all due respect" implies a level of respect beginning at and including zero. I suppose it's analogous to a southern gal saying "Bless your heart," which is a polite way of saying FU.
Correct.
Okay, thanks for clarifying!
Hillary is due as much respect as Charles Manson.
