Believe me, the voters in all those blue states that turned red are STILL turned completely off Dems by being called "deplorables."



Re-read what I said. I was responding to her being accused of calling HALF OF THE US POPULATION deplorables. She didn't. She said half of trump supporters. She wasn't lying.

Which half? The middle class workers Dems are ditching in favor of illegal aliens?

Believe me, the optics of that are INCREDIBLY bad.

Odd, how President Trump would never, ever disrespect a woman how Failed Former Mayor Corey Booker who started yelling out of thin air to the DHS official.

Looks like the senator was either performing for the cameras or he has no respect for women.

This is the failed city that Corey Booker was mayor of. I was guess turning a city into third-world status is reason enough to promote a liberal mayor to the senate.
"Looks like the senator was either performing for the cameras or he has no respect for women. "

BOTH.

If the roles were reversed and it was repub Sen. and a woman Sect, the LSM would spend hours on it and accusing Sen of sexual harassment.

BUT, we will NOT see it from the LSM.

It is believed he is going to run for president.

His competition will run this video over and over.

Here we have they "usual" dem actions in a hearing.

It was SUPPOSED to be about Homeland Security with the agency head.

Instead a dem goes WAY off topic and all he/she does is make speeches and throw out a bunch of false accusations and ask very FEW related questions.

They are notorious for it.

It doesn't matter. A good portion of trump supporters are deplorable. She was speaking to her base, and they know who she refers to.


She wasn't lying. Period. Many trump supporters are indeed deplorable, and judging on the comments of his supporters on just this site alone, I'd venture to say more than half of them are deplorable.

Actually, it does matter. Middle class blue collar workers USED to be a large part of the Dem voter base. Now, the Dems are ditching them in favor of illegal aliens. Incredibly BAD optics, which is why more and more of them have converted to the GOP.

So, in TrumpLandia, cheating on your wife among any number of other actions is considered respecting her?

Who knew?

Nope. Dems are ditching their party for Trump under some perceived slight against them.

Her comment has nothing to do with illegal aliens, nor was her comment directed at blue collar workers. Most people know who she's referring to. Only Trump supporters with an axe to grind had something to say. The comment made in this thread is a prime example....regarding her saying it about HALF of americans, which is NOT what she said.

When she made the comment, his supporters were the minority. You're looking at probably less than 35% of americans. She said half of that group. Not sure how that translates to half of all americans.
Again, she wasn't wrong in what she said.

Even half is still a lot.

Just to make you see it from the other side, it is about as ignorant as if Trump said “Half of all Hillary supporters are gangbangers”.

Or Hillary’s ‘basket of gangbangers”, as the case may be.

Likely you are not a gangbanger, but I think you would still find it offensive.

His supporters are ok with a racist, vile, disgusting human being. His supporters are ok with his divisive speech, his daily lies, his distortion of truths. His supporters make excuses for nazis, white supremacists, etc. His supporters (this site is a prime example) constantly use race to point out the flaws in people.
I can go on and on and on and on. YES, they are deplorable. I'd venture to say MORE than half of them.

We usually agree, but when Trey Gowdy does the same thing he's lauded as being a no-nonsense guy who is willing to hold someone's feet to the fire.
