Nope, but assuming that you actually believe this then you are OK with "Super Predator", Deplorables, and Basement Dwellers?
Not even a nice try. You know Hillary only holds contempt for the average American.
Clinton called a HALF of Trump supporters as being deplorable because they are "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic." She said the other half are frustrated with the state of the government and society.
So unless you are a "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic", Clinton wasn't referring to you. But if you think she was, perhaps there is a reason in your mind. I don't know. . . .
Her actual quote to follow:
Quote:
"You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? [Laughter/applause]. The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people, now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric. Now some of those folks, they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America.
"But the other basket, the other basket, and I know because I see friends from all over America here. I see friends from Florida and Georgia and South Carolina and Texas, as well as you know New York and California. But that other basket of people who are people who feel that government has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they are just desperate for change. It doesn't really even matter where it comes from. They don't buy everything he says but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different. They won't wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroine, feel like they're in a dead-end. Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well."
Her "half" is obviously not exact -- no one has done that kind of survey of Trump supporters. It might be 10%. Or 35%. Or 66%. Who knows, but there is absolutely no denying that there is a significant number of such deplorable people supporting Trump. Exhibit A: David Duke. Exhibit B: every other white supremacists besides Duke.

But of course, she would never label her supporters right? I doubt they're all sinless souls
Also, by denigrating Trump's supporters, her speech incites her supporters to attack them, so in the end her words are causing harm--and politicians, especially experienced ones like Clinton know the power of words
Those people who support her and physically attack a political opponent behave like ideological bigots and thugs, but she'll never address them as such will she
I am not a racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, or Islamophobic.
I support Trump.
He was not my first choice, but it's him against her, and I'll take him ANYDAY...
Over a liar, person responsible for the deaths of men in Benghazi - who lied about it more times than she told the truth -
a person who hasn't had a real job - who's never created a business...
I'll take a non-Politian over her ANYDAY... ALLDAY...

It's a very difficult concept for them to understand; has been explained a few times here.
So via leaked emails, and direct from the horse's mouth, Hillary sums up America.
Not the first time you came running to this message board half-cocked with false information. Remember the time when you posted that Trump leads in early voting here in FLORIDA?
That was a hoot since we don't start early voting for several days.
Black Males - Super Predictors ("bring them to heel")
Latinos - Taco Bowl Outreach
Doesn't sound like she believes much in "Stronger Together"
Clinton doesn't think that working class America is full of "deplorables." People who believe anything the cult leader Trump says, who follow him like the Pied Piper, who parrot his violent language, who stew in conspiracy theories and absolutely thrive on hate, even accusing their fellow Americans who happen to disagree with them of "hating America." Those are the people she called "deplorables." Those are the people, of any class, that anyone with the least bit of decency and patriotism would also call "deplorable." Nowhere did she ever say anything negative about America's working class.
Neither did she call anyone "basement dwellers." What she really said, in essence, was that the middle class college graduate had to move back home because of student debt and the lack of jobs: Did Hillary Insult Sanderistas as But would you care to provide evidence otherwise?
Except that you don't realize that "taco bowl outreach" was a mocking reference to Trump's "Taco bowl, I love Hispanics!!" tweet that went out the day before.
But you are in denial, so carry on.
Mick
Nope. There was no need to call it a "taco bowl engagement". No. Need. At. All. It was a feeble attempt at being funny but it failed miserably.
Trump ate a taco bowl on Cinco de Mayo---so what? Lots of people also did so. Does that offend you? It didn't offend me.
However, referring to meeting up with Hispanics as a "taco bowl engagement" was, indeed, offensive.
