Apparently so much blowback she's now amending her statement to say only half of us are those things so I have to amend my OP to say she's only half of a cooties-hacking truth-challenged poopeyhead.
Negative. Increasing education and intelligence is inversely correlated with Trump support.
Highly "educated"/the supposed intelligent have been running our country into the ground for many decades now and not serving you or me. You sure must be proud and are easily impressed with "the educated", aren't you?
I'm a member of the "highly educated" and went to college/computer science and worked with a bunch of the highly educated set in the IT field. If you are impressed with this set across the board to generalize as such and equate this set with morals, capability, and can make rational life choices based on logic, I think you need a bunch more life experience/need to get out more.
I don't understand why Clinton apologized -- she was right.
When Trump said he can't get a fair trial from his Indiana-born "Mexican" judge named Gonzalo, a poll found 20% of Americans supported Trump on his racist comment. Trump has about 42% support in national polls right now. 20% is about one-half of 42%.
To say half of all Trump supporters are racists, bigots, homophobes or Islamophobes may not be pleasant but it is the truth. Shrug.
Totally agree. She did not say "all" but half. I'm not joking when I say that I've met people who still believe Obama is Kenyan and hates America. I don't know the percentage of Trump supporters who are bigots, but surveys show he has trouble attracting college educated voters. When candidates say the same thing that reporters write, they get into trouble, whether true or not.

"Half of college-educated whites in that survey said they believed Trump was biased against minorities and women."

No survey includes "ALL" as I already posted. Just because you are highly educated, doesn't mean you will vote for a particular candidate. If a survey/poll shows that Clinton has a large lead among white women, it doesn't mean there aren't thousands of white women who will vote for Trump. There are black people who are Trump supporters, but it's obvious that he has very little support from the African-American community.

This is true but I was pointing out to the other poster that some people/posters have this obsession with "the educated" as having the best insight on various matters in life including the ability to select the "right" candidate. This is far from true on many levels. And on the level of voting/the leaders that have been in office for decades now/"managing" our country like a circus, it's right in our face how well the judgement of the "educated" voters have been in selecting the right people for the job. A pathetic track record. And it's clear to me most of the "Educated" still haven't figured out they are served last, way behind the $/donors.
I linked to the statement in my post above. The only thing she's walking back is "half".
Exactly!
Yeah, seriously... it could like how trump describes the number of illegals... paraphrasing: it could be half, it could be more, it could be less. Nobody knows for sure how many it is.
I can not believe the Nutty Don supporters cant handle a little truth. Nutty Don talks this way all the time.
Nutty Don is running a scam on his supporters right to the voting booth.
The GOP has to run at the lowest form of politics. Nutty Don is perfect as he yells his dog whistle statements all around the country.
Here in NC we have seen the GOP agenda first hand. Raise taxes on the lower incomes a cut the elites. Raise taxes on everything you can think of then raises every fee (GOP for Taxes) by double.
I don't think she should apologize at all. In fact, she should be doubling down.
There is a a very large, noisy, ignorant segment of his supporters who are, in fact, deplorables. They're just too ignorant to see themselves for what they are.
Trump has brought out absolutely the worst examples of humanity from behind their rocks. Nothing aspirational about him or his campaign.
Trump is truly an Ugly American who has revealed a society filled with far too many other Ugly Americans.
