I am a Deplorable Zionist Hoodlum.

Her only choice: double down or back pedal.

She's Hillary - she did both. See post 38

Illary’s 47 moment.

[ken in texas]

She probably really meant to call them “despicable”, but “deporable” slipped out. So she’s really sorry. /s

[Chode]

ich bin ein Deplorable!

“Last night I was ‘grossly generalistic,’ and that’s never a good idea. I regret saying ‘half’ — that was wrong,” Clinton said in a statement.

~~~~~~~
Clinton parse: it was wrong because she meant ALL.

Exactly! She regrets getting caught at not sayin ALL!

[sockhead]

I just read Hillary’s statement of regret. She continues to throw David Duke at Trump. She is still referring to the alt-right. #desperation

[savedbygrace]

Regret means nothing because we all know she still believes she was right.

[Fishtalk]

What the hell was she thinking?

That statement fits her so EXACTLY, it’s perfectly what America considers Hillary thinks about us. WE ARE DEPLORABLE!

Compared to her.....

The fact that she apologized is very telling. That campaign is hurting big time. Honestly I do not think she will recover.\

[mom.mom]

However we are still “Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it,” …?

She is so judgmental and intolerant.

[Fishtalk]

I saw that.

This David Duke thing....is anybody buying that?

[tumblindice]

A-tisket a-tasket
A green and yellow basket
I didn’t really mean it,
I’m sorry you all seen it
They’re really not that horrible,
Not a bit deplorable
I wrote a letter to my love
And on the way I dropped it,
I dropped it, I dropped it,
And on the way I dropped it.
A little boy he picked it up
And put it in his pocket

[mancini]

Too late, you power whore, you can’t unring that bell.

[sockhead]

Hillary is not apologizing. Read her statement on Twitter/Facebook. She is still throwing David Duke, the alt-right, and other garbage at Trump.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Yep. Exactly.

[Leep]

IS she telling us what kind of leader she will be? And what about when she meets with other leaders?
Is she going to fly off the handle and then hours later take it back?
I am saying the kind of stuff they say about Trump...only in haggary’s case they are likely true.

[Interesting Times]

The fake apology indicates that this is already inflicting significant damage.

"Deplorables" is a key moment because it neatly encapsulates Hillary's negatives: she is vicious, elitist, dishonest, divisive, lacks self-control, and holds ordinary Americans in contempt.
