BTW, did anyone notice that Hillary looks like h*ll in the photo in that article?
Which is worse deplorable or criminal? I guess WikiLeaks will straighten the whole mess out shortly: Assange: WikiLeaks Preparing to Release 100,000 More Clinton Documents. Of course Hillary will blame everybody except herself.

Clear that Hillary shouldn't have been so blunt ... truthful, but blunt.

Even Lindsay Graham has said that 35% of the GOP is racist. So. . the worst she did was slightly overestimate the number.

Personally, I think Graham underestimated the number.

I'm not sure "deplorable" is exactly the right word, but a percentage of Trump supporters have some very strange ideas. Just yesterday at work, several of us were talking about how it was the anniversary of 9/11 and how horrible it was that day. One girl interjected "It was all a hoax, our government did it !" I said "WHAT !!" and she went on to explain it was a government created event !

When I asked her where the Hell she got that idea, all she could say was, "Look it up." When I pressed her for a reason why we would do that, she said "For the oil." Needless to say, I had to ask her a few more questions, and she basically said not only did 9/11 not happen by terrorists, but the Orlando club shooting was staged by actors, and the Oklahoma bombing was also our own doing and McVey was just blamed for it.

She finally said, "I know you trust the government, but I don't, we have no freedoms in this country and we need to make a change, and Trump will do that.

I had to walk away before the top of my head blew off.

So did Van Jones and Obama had no problem appointing him to be a czar.

I hear the same ridiculousness from the orderlies and cleaning crew in my operating room all the time, and I am fairly sure that they are Hillary supporters. At the very least, I'm almost 100% sure they are not Trump supporters.

I wanted to vote, but there are no good choices! I support Trump/Pence, but I don't consider my self deplorable. I actually try to help people in life, and protect people in the United States.

LOL I think when a person with the motto of "stronger together" stands there and divides up a group of people (instead of convincing them to vote for her) shows her to be nothing but a hypocrite. It makes me LOL even more to read the replies of the Democratic party based supporters on this thread to basically double down on what she said and have a lack of credible intellectual ideas to support their candidate Hillary.
