2016: Damn right, half the country deserves to be written off!

FWIW, the white nationalists like David Duke who support Trump in large numbers ARE racists. The Trump supporters whose main attack on Clinton is to call her a bitch, say she sucks more than Monica, and want to inflict violence on her ARE misogynist. I don't see any issue with calling them out.
Then point to THEM instead of insulting "1/4" of Americans. She - the "educated one" - is no better than Trump in making a sweeping generalization about people.
Ignorance doesn't win against ignorance. Is this what we want for our country? to one up each other?
Have you ever been to a Trump rally or seen video footage of one or even read the reports of journalists attending them? Scary stuff.
She was talking about those people. And saying only half of them are deplorable is being pretty generous.
She gets the obese female vote. But I would never call those people "deplorable."
Were those obese females spewing hate?

No
You don't attack people. Even if people are calling her a fat pig or a demented old lady, she - the supposed role model - shouldn't stoop down to his level. And she's almost there. She's dividing the country, too, with her rhetoric.
It's not acceptable in her case either.
But you're saying a tit for tat is fine.
That's what's wrong with American.
So we need to implode - which will happen soon enough - before we can build ourselves back up.

If they are quietly voting for him then it shows that they are ashamed to do so.
maybe
But I think some are afraid of saying something, too, fearing that it would result in some ugly (verbal? physical?) confrontation. My friend's husband said he was voting for Trump b/c he's sick of Dems killing off the middle class.
I don't think people are infatuated with Trump, but sometimes change - no matter how destructive it may be - is important in waking us up. We may need to wake up soon b/c these are the worst candidates thus far.
Sometimes you have to fall down hard before you learn your lesson.
Dems killing off the middle class?![]()
This is the legacy of Fox News et al.
He's tired of the taxes. My mother's a senior citizen and she's tired of being penalized for having saved enough to keep her independent and healthy. There's some truth to what they're saying. The middle class supports the poor and the rich - yet get no breaks.
Again, who will subsidize the state college/university tuition for those making $125K or less? the middle class of course
If this ever transpires, post-secondary institutions will have to rely on themselves, according to Hillary, and states will have to do their parts, she added, to help create a free ride for many people. So schools will have to shave programs to cut corners and raise tuition for those who CAN pay.
All the while, the rich can send their own to elite institutions that many on these boards brag about.
lose-lose for the MC
You can thank the Dems for that. And that was my party for a long, long time.
I am a progressive Dem, but you can thank BOTH parties for that. Republican voters were so happy to get rid of unions when corps convinced them like idiots too. What happened? Wages went down and corporations made more profit. Nothing for the American workers. At the same time, Dems supported trade agreements that again made corps more profit and nothing for American workers.
Don't put that on one party. Corporations own both parties and Donald Trump owns a corporation. What does that tell you? Why would he push through trade legislation that is going to hurt his own company?
