Donald Trump's campaign manager is objecting to Hillary Clinton's depiction of half of his supporters as a "basket of deplorables."
Clinton was speaking at an LGBT fundraiser in New York City Friday night when she described those supporters as "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it." But she stressed that the rest of the Republican nominee's supporters are people who feel let down by the government and the economy and are "just desperate for change," and said those people need sympathy.
Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway quickly responded on Twitter, writing, "One day after promising to be aspirational & uplifting, Hillary insults millions of Americans."
Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill tweeted that Clinton was referring to "alt-right" voters who "appear to make up half his crowd."

A nice short clip on Israeli TV. Sounds like there will be a no bag limit on Trump supporters soon.

She has stepped in it (further). And it’s hard to wiggle out of this one, save for an apology. You just can’t call millions of patriotic Americans engaged in the political process deplorable and expect to skate.

The MSM and Democrats jumped into the fray on this one quickly because even they know what a huge mistake Hillary just made.

The New York Times’ - and the rest of the mainstream media’s - financial prospects? Pretty deplorable.

It’s a new label they made up.
They have to label people all the time because ... identity politics is what they do.
There can be no citizens who simply disagree on policy matters ... they must be demonized.

It’s not going to fade either. Now we will always proudly harken to the moniker “deporable.”
I’m going to request my local voting precinct to have a voting section for deplorables.
