Was Hillary’s “deplorables” comment a strategic play?

Allahpundit is a kook and a Hillary supporter.

The strange words of the song “Yankee Doodle” were originally a taunt from the redcoats mocking the rusticity and the difference between their more “civilized” British manner and the relative boorishness of the Colonials.

However, the Revolutionaries adopted the epithet, and made it into “Their” song.

And thus, a new Patriotic song was born along with a new Republic!

Just to put a smile on your face, there are already several tshirts available and the memes are flying thick and heavy. Whatever illary intended, this has blown up in her corpulent face, and badly. Even on DU someone stated, when you are attacking your opponents supporters, you are losing. She only succeeded in further unifying Trumps base, and completely alienating many of his Latino or other minority supporters.

My wife was fascinated to learn she is a Latina racist against Latinos. Our entire family has been laughing about this all day, it has a "Christmas" feeling to it, like she gave us a present. Whatever she hoped, she failed to draw from his base and changed support into committed support.

If your opponents camp is making your statements into tshirts and marketing them within 24 hours, it's fair to say you screwed the pooch, big time.

Yes. The media was invited in.
It was a call for the media to step up their game on demonizing Trump. Shame people away from him.

Libs believe in shaming.
