Hillary Clinton takes her ‘deplorables’ argument for another spin
Washington Post ^ | 3/12/2018 | Aaron Blake

Posted on 03/13/2018 4:59:25 AM PDT by simpson96

Hillary Clinton said after the 2016 election that her decision to label many Trump supporters “deplorables” was a “political gift” to President Trump.

Apparently, it's the gift that keeps on giving.

Clinton offered some rather unvarnished remarks in India this weekend that sound a lot like her “deplorables” commentary from September 2016. She played up the states that supported her as more economically advanced than the states that voted for Trump, calling them “dynamic” and “moving forward.” Then she again suggested Trump supporters were motivated by animosity toward women and people of color.

“If you look at the map of the United States, there's all that red in the middle where Trump won,” Clinton said. “I win the coast. I win, you know, Illinois and Minnesota — places like that.”

She went on: “But what the map doesn't show you is that I won the places that represent two-thirds of America's gross domestic product. So I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward.”

Then she turned to Trump's voters: “And his whole campaign — 'Make America Great Again' — was looking backward. You know, you didn't like black people getting rights; you don't like women, you know, getting jobs; you don't want to, you know, see that Indian American succeeding more than you are — you know, whatever your problem is, I'm gonna solve it.”(snip)

Clinton also jabbed at white women voters, saying some caved to "ongoing pressure to vote the way that your husband, your boss, your son, whoever, believes you should.”

But even the way she describes Trump's supporters alleged racism and sexism is pretty remarkable. It's one thing to suggest they were perhaps prejudiced, but Clinton says they didn't even want black people to have civil rights or women to work outside the home.

As Jim Polito says, Hillary Clinton is like the country’s psycho ex girlfriend.

Hillary manages, in a single sentence, to reveal herself as obsessed, condescending, bigoted, and inarticulate. She’s definitely running in 2020. Well, perhaps walking more than running.

Does she say these things abroad and actually think the deplorables won’t hear about it? I guess it strokes her ego to make the Indian audience laugh at Americans.

Ans what did she promise to sell off in return for it, after she gets those ‘Deplorables’ under her thumb for 2020?

Why is she speaking overseas at all? I’ve always assumed they have millions (at least) hidden offshore.

Hillary speaks for all Democrats - they look down on normal, everyday folks. They think they are superior in every way.

Maybe she promised to take the content farming jobs away from the Macedonians and give them to India.

Oh, right. To be “progressive” means shuttered factories, idle coal mines, quiet steel mill, expanding welfare, ubiquitous food stamps, high taxes, and unemployment. Trump is 180 degrees different, thank goodness.
