    Since she is terminally ill and going downhill fast, we probably should cut her some slack. Being informed your lifelong goal finally MIGHT come true and then told but you are dying would make most people frustrated. Such cruel fate!

    That's' not surprising.

    Something like this inevitably brings out a bunch of opportunists rushing to make a quick buck out of right wing outrage. The talk radio crowd loves to throw its money at this sort of stuff.

    Gotta make the best of it. I think the backfire is hilarious and if the right was outraged they wouldn't have done this.

    There is only one thing to do when your kid is killed while engaging in criminal conduct and violent assault. Try to make money off it.

    Hillary talks about deplorables but Trump's got her beat with his deportables.

    REALLY...A GAFFE..............I do9n't think so........

    The American people agree with Clinton: Trump is a bigot. This new poll confirms it.

    “.................And so, on Fox, Trump had this to say about Clinton’s “deplorables” comment: “I think it’s the single biggest mistake of the political season.”

    ........But the new Post/ABC News poll released over the weekend raises questions about whether Clinton’s remarks were really a political mistake. If Clinton’s goal was to force a public discussion of Trump’s bigotry and chauvinism, well, the Post poll finds that a large majority of Americans agree with her that Trump is biased against women and minorities, including among the voter groups that Trump needs to improve among in order to win........



    ...........The Post poll, which found Clinton leading Trump by five points among likely voters nationwide, also found that 60 percent of Americans believe Trump “is biased against women and minorities,” with 48 percent believing that strongly. According to the crosstabs, college educated whites believe this by 57-41, and college educated white women — a crucial demographic that the campaigns are fighting over — believe it by 61-39.


    ...........What’s more, majorities of college educated white men and non-college white women also believe this. Indeed, as James Downie puts it: “At this point, the only group of voters that doesn’t think Trump is biased is white men without a college degree.”.......................

    Spare me the phony outrage over Clinton’s ‘basket of deplorables’ remark

    “The American people know what Trump is doing. A recent Quinnipiac poll found that American voters say by 59-36 that “the way Trump talks appeals to bigotry.”

    Wow, didnt even attempt to go for the topic did ya?

    It is all going to come down to who people trust more, Hillary was doing a great job of keeping quiet which is how she will win. I am shocked she is pushing this, she will alienate more people. She looks to be learning from Trump which is not good politically!

    No fan of Hillary but you have to admire how she soldiered on even with walking pneumonia these last couple of weeks. I just pray Chelsea doesn't come down with it considering how close they are.

    This was a huge political gaffe. No matter anyone's opinion on Trump supporters. Not only does it motivate Trump's base it makes Hillary look like the out of touch elitist she is.

    I'm proud to be deplorable......

    I think I'm going to write that on a shirt with a marker and wear it for a day.

    At least Hillary was being honest for a moment - it's kinda like a breath of fresh air when you think of it - a compulsive liar believing they're telling the truth - but the funny part is she couldn't be furthest from the truth.

    So the only time she tells the truth is when she is totally wrong. How dumb can this woman be? she is like the gift that keeps on giving.

    Actually, after watching this video and then a few hours later Hillary called half the Party deplorable, now we know why; http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/trump-yet-to-account-for-racist-support-763531843661

    Did you catch the part when Maddow said they were complaining about the half figure? Meaning, the other half must be deplorable right? Lol!

    Anyway, kudos to Hillary for calling them exactly what they are.

    Hillary Clinton apologized for her intemperate remarks. Apparently her followers are rather deplorable themselves, if this thread is any indicator.
    They are still slandering and maligning people they don't even know. That's the hallmark of bigots.

    Funny stuff.

    More power to anybody making money off of it.

    A lot of people embrace that kind of stuff.
