[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump has called women fat pigs and dogs, but it's a travesty for Clinton to say some of Trump's supporters are racists?  Talk about a double standard![/quote]

You can argue all you want that it's okay to call half of Trumps supporters deplorable.  [b]The lack of respect for hard working people will hurt her with voters.  [/b]Whether or not it's a great comment or completely justified, it shouldn't have come from a potential leader of our nation.[/quote]

Is this the latest talking point you've received, to lump "hard working people" in with the Storm Fronters Hillary was actually talking about when she said they were deplorable?

Here again is the full quote (Jeff, delete this if it violates the copyright stuff): [b]I know there are only 60 days left to make our case—and don’t get complacent, don’t see the latest outrageous, offensive, inappropriate comment and think well he’s done this time. We are living in a volatile political environment. You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?

The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—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 their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks—they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America. But the other basket—and I know this 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 are people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they’re 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 heroin, feel like they’re in a dead end. Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well.[/b][/quote]

You can think Trump supporters who are tired of insider corruption and lack of economic prosperity will see Hillary put half in a different basket, but that's not how people will look at that.  Press has already labeled Trump voters as irredeemable, and by association, it makes HRC look very bad.  The finer points of characteristics of the other half don't make it better.[/quote]
