Clinton Says Half Of Trump Supporters Are In The “Basket Of Deplorables” (speech transcript incl.)
BuzzFeed News ^ | September 9. 2016 | Ruby Cramer, Katherine Miller

She characterized half of Trump supporters as people to “empathize with.” She characterized the other half as “the racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it.”Speaking to donors on Friday night, Hillary Clinton outlined what she sees as the two types of Trump supporters.

First, there are those in the “basket of deplorables” — who include racists, xenophobes, and homophobes, and make up about “half” of Trump’s supporters, Clinton said. She called this group “irredeemable.”

Second, there are the people who “don’t buy everything he says,” but want desperately to see change. She said this group was worthy of empathy.

In recent weeks, the topic of racism has animated some of Clinton’s messaging, after she gave a high-profile speech about Trump’s history on race and the rise of the alt-right, a white nationalist movement that has been energized by Trump’s rise. Generally, though, Clinton has avoided characterizing Trump himself as racist, instead choosing to label her opponent’s statements as racist.......

The remarks came at an LGBT-focused fundraiser in New York City that included appearances by Laverne Cox and Barbra Streisand.

So, if she wins will she be President for all the People including the Deplorables, or will she just try to fix them by revoking their Constitutional Rights?

we actually want Hillary to make speeches like this because they get her no new voters those who believe her claims were never going to vote for trump but the few people that might change there vote hear this same old claim of racism and homophobia and they are turned off.

the reason why trumps claims of corruption and cronyism work is they are the truth and everyone knows it including her supporters.

the more trump can get her to behave as a caricature of the left the better trump will do.

Since I refuse to use Facebook for a number of reasons, I just want to reply to Valerie Powell in the Buzzfeed comments section who accused a lot of Trump supporters of being all that Hillary claims them to be.

Well, stupid. If you look at who Hillary’s friends and mentors and heroes have been, you will find communists like Saul Alinsky, the Communist Party-dominated law firm of Treuhaft, Walker, Burstein and the very dangerous Charles R. Gary (a good friend of William Kunstler), who were defending psychopathic torturers and killers in the New Haven Black Panther case, and a Cuban asset, and possible KGB asset, Prof. Johnnetta Cole, a longtime leader of the KGB/DGI-created Venceremos Brigade.

Then there are the ties Bill and Hillary had to the New York Mob (Gottis, Gambinos, etc) who gave them and the Democrats a reported $3.5 Million-plus (not including state LIUNA pac money) in donations (The American Spectator, April 1977, Byron York - “Let’s be Friends: A Mob-Controlled Union Delivers the Goods for Bill”. The mobbed up LIUNA (Laborers Union of North America) got tens of millions of dollars in federal work grants while Bill was in office.

It pays to have friends in high places with deep pockets.

Hillary is a lying psychopath on par with Obama but not as ideologically as smart as the Commissar. However, she is pretty good at being a greedy extortionist and pay-to-play criminal. Bernie Maddoff is jealous of her. He’s in jail and she could be the next president of the U.S.

Life is often not fair but if Hillary wins, life will never again be fair to many patriotic Americans.

Actually, I belong in the group of Trump supporters that would like to see Hillary live out the rest of her days in prison.
