Trumpocrats Say Clinton ‘Alt-Right’ Speech Backfires, Turns Democrats Toward Donald Trump
Breitbart News ^ | 25 Aug 2016 | MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 08/25/2016 9:33:02 PM PDT by Mr. Mojo

NEW YORK CITY, New York — Trumpocrats executive director Christian Rickers told Breitbart News that Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Democratic nominee for president, is “simply unhinged” as evidenced by her speech in Reno, Nevada, on Thursday.

“Hillary is simply unhinged and appealing to the lowest common denominator,” Rickers, a lifelong Democrat who backed Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primaries but is now leading a movement crossing over to the Republican Party to back GOP nominee Donald Trump, told Breitbart News in response to Clinton’s “alt-right” speech. “Her performance today was more evidence of how desperate she has become.”

Rickers’ organization, the “Trumpocrats,” represents the tens of thousands of Democrats who are leaving the Democratic Party because they believe Hillary Clinton does not represent their values—and are instead voting for Trump in the general election.

Trump can get a LOT of D votes as long as he keeps emphasizing jobs for Americans and cleaning up the Washington, D.C. corruption that Hilliary so splendidly epitomizes. ( it won’t hurt to keep mentioning how she purchased the D nomination with her “super- delegates” - the Bernie voters have NOT forgotten )

At least I know who John Derbyshire is. LOL

This whole Hillary thing is absurd! She got into the weeds with using this term and whoever advised her to use it, is just nuts; as was THE VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY thing! LOL

For better or worse Milo is the face of the altRight and has been using the term for some time. In truth it’s currently really just the libertarian conservatives who hate the RNC and support Trump. Clinton pathetically tried to paint it as something sinister. Her speech was very reminiscent of her VRWC talking point from 20 years ago that proved just as weak and pathetic.

Fabricated to maintain the distinction between the Establishment Right “#nevertrumpers” and the Trump-supporting house-cleaning “We’re Sending Hillary to Prison” true conservatives who are now wise to them.

I hope it’s a large scale run.

You're correct, of course!

OTOH, they are ALL so out of touch, it's laughable!

“Juan Williams said on “the 5” today he thought it was a “great” speech. He thought it was historic and wonderful.”

Juan Williams is a couple beers shy of a six pack, if he was inspired by that embarrassing pratfall.

...or their other favorite term, “dystopian” ... I can guarantee no inner city voter (or even suburban voter, for that matter) has any idea what it means

It means "where they live."

I follow Milo also, but twitter banned him and difficult to find his comments. He is a bit crude mouth for me, but he supports Trump as the only one standing in the way of bringing the muslim horde here to USA.

Brits are usually much better with "rapier wit" than Americans are. Is he an "OXBRIDGE" grad?

I have NO idea WHO Leslie Jones is, but the stupid remake of GHOSTBUSTERS got very badly panned and I have NO desire to see it.

I'm not on TWITTER, so I'm out of that loop.

I think she may have meant to say ‘Neo’, as in Neo-( new, or alternative) Conservatives. Now that she said it once, she has to keep saying it that way, confusing more and more of her voters.
Keep talking, Hillary, you ‘Alt’-Marxist, you.

A fad to believe in.

For many however, it's really all about reading and thinking.

‘alt-Right’ has been around for a year or two that I know of. Maybe longer. Somewhat of a self-identifier for a youthful group on the right that holds decidedly un-PC ideas on forbidden topics like race. ‘Cuckservative’ was a neologism that they popularized awhile back.

The PC-obedient right regards them as a bigger threat to mankind than Hillary and Obama, so both Hillary and neverTrump will be claiming that Trump meets them for secret midnight cross burnings as they stiff-arm salute a swastika.

True and it's kinda EARLY for them to harp on the "RACISM" ploy.

Of course many stupid blacks will fall for it, still; however, Trump is getting a LOT of black support.

yes, this is Hillary’s “vast right wing conspiracy” meme updated....

Rather than deal with substantive criticisms she tries to smear and dismiss everyone who steps out of line. She got away with so much in the past but her garbage won’t work with Trump, who throws it back in her face. Trump is not afraid to do battle with the Demagogues and MSM. We have needed him for soooo long.

Here's a term you can use to describe liberals that they may not understand, or worse they'll think you mean something else and correct you: insular.

But others have said that it is made up of LIBERTARIANS. So which is it?
