I do think that the comment damaged her, but she was ripe with other negatives. I am not sure that the “deplorable” comment was “the one”. I found her other actions far more off-putting. Her rant about why she wasn’t 50 points ahead would have scared me off if I weren’t already not voting for her, for example. It reeked of insanity, not just narcissism.
That one was just downright mind boggling. I suspect that was related to her health issues. However, I don't think her bizarre comments got as wide a coverage as Mitt's 47% comment. Every little bit helped, IMO. The MSM made sure Mitt's leaked comment got full coverage.
Agreed - That was indeed a seminal moment.
The barely suppressed madness is palpable.
Just look at those eyes boring in with resentment and hate.
