Lately, Hillary is making the gaffs, not Trump. Who would have thought?

I say it's a third - simply describing them for what they are. If that's what you believe stand up in public and be forthright.

DEPLORABLE - worthy of censure or disapproval; wretched; very bad.

Hmmmm, doesn't that make more sense when applied to the speaker and not the target?

I wondered about this so I turned on CNN this morning while I was having my strawberry eggos and coffee. Sure enough they were killing her with kindness by saying she probably made the offending statements because of her illness. Do they realize how much damage this will be to her.

Let's do a little make believe:
So she is in the oval office and not feeling her best when she is in a conference call with several world leaders and she tells them what she thinks of them and offends most of the leaders of the world because she just cannot think straight and runs off at the mouth when she is not feeling well.

If they want to help her out, CNN might want to rethink their spin.

I suppose saying "I like people who weren't captured" doesn't insult all the war heroes who were tortured and/or killed in battle. I thought of that one off the top of my head, but there's a long list of Trump gaffes, blunders and insults.

If you want a leader who says:

"Saddam Hussein was a bad guy, right? ... But you know what he did well? He killed terrorists. He did that so good." They didn't read 'em the rights, they didn't talk. They were a terrorist, it was over."

vote for Trump, but then you're not voting for President, you're voting for a man who praises dictators and who doesn't understand the way a democracy works (and also someone who has terrible grammar.)

She speaks the truth. You only have to read the posts regarding her sickness to see how truly deplorable Trump supporters are.

Don't worry-it's CNN. I'm sure they will fire anyone that made a mistake and told the truth for a moment.

Luckily for us, The President does not 'Rule' over the People of the United States. I think Trump might like to change this...but I don't think most people will stand for it.

We can just consider the source of the comment and realize how stupid she is to have said that. Remember when she talked about "super predators" and "young black men in hoodies" - a true to the bone racist and she was so dumb that she thought what she was saying was OK!
I for one am sick and tired of the race card being thrown around because you may have different opinions of the PC police. Calling everyone you disagree with racist, sexist, etc. for years and years isn't going to have the same effect this year as other years.

As for Hillary, I thought she was being completely honest about what she thought of Trump supporters. She would have been better off just criticizing Trump. Her comments were like Romney's "47%" and Obama's "bitter clingers" from 2008. Combine that with her bad health, and it seems to me all her fans and handlers will have to literally drag her across the finish line to win in November. I can only imagine the nationwide meltdown from the left if Trump can beat her.
