Hillary Clinton said that half of Trump's supporters are deplorable and that they're racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. She had no right to say that. She labeled people who she doesn't even know. she went way too far. She should be ashamed of herself for saying such awful things about millions of people. I would not stoop so low as to label people who I don't even know. I'm a Trump supporter but I won't label Hillary's supporters.

I won't label Hillary's supporters because I know nothing about them. I know nothing about them but I do know about Hillary. She is PREJUDICE. I wish that labeling those people was the only case of her bigotry but there have been others. I have a message for Hillary: "Before you judge any other innocent people, you should take a good look at yourself but you'll probably puke when you do".
 
That really is what the elites think of most Americans, including those on this site that support them.

They rub elbows with mulitnationalists, fellow politicians, big donors, those seeking favors. They only care about you at election time.

Obama is the same way, he just said it differently.

You support a man who has, over 30 years of public life, made outrageous and deplorable comments about blacks, Asians, Jews, women, Muslims, disabled people, poor people, Mexicans, and LGBT people.

Does that not speak at all to the character of your fellow Trump supporters?

She had every right to say that. She also will likely suffer the consequences of her assumed bigotry (elitism?). She has since walked back the 50% figure yet, in true Clinton fashion, did not offer any replacement percentage. ;)

The most disturbing part of that statement was the applause that it received.

And Trump labeling millions of Spanish speaking people as rapists and drug dealers is some how not a problem?

When Trumps running mate refuses to take distance on David Duke and white supremists.. then you have your answer on who Trumps supporters are.. and they are DEPLORABLE!

It's okay, he assumes some are good people too.

She should look in the mirror before she says something like that.

There's the new buzz word of the day.

Hillary says it and posters here repeat it over and over again.

Do you not care about the fact that many Spanish speaking people are rapists and drug dealers?

Did he say something that was not accurate?

Did you not hear the other part of that statement where he said there were many good people in there too?

Dude, where's the link and quote?

Many? Like how many, exactly?

You speak Spanish, right? Are you a rapist or drug dealer?

Where does he say he supports Al Sharpton? I must have missed it.

This is America she has every right. I think her % is on target. I know Trump supporters from what they say and how they support the things he says and does. I can only conclude they are deplorable or dense.

It's doesn't matter, he doesn't care what he said or the other qualitative things he said. Trump has to be labeled a racist. Remember Clinton's politics of personal destruction? That's their game plan.
 
Show me where he said they ALL were, sweetheart.

Show me where I did.

He said many, so I asked about "how many"? He lives in Mexico and most likely speaks Spanish so just curious if he as a Spanish speaker is part of the "many" rapists and drug dealers.
 
Trump and Hillary are the "deplorables" in this equation...

Why would anyone feel compelled to address the lies, deceit, and fraud behind these accusations against Trump?

They are purely designed as dog whistles not really worthy of much effort beyond exposing them for what they are, and exposing the deplorable people in the Hillary Clinton campaign, her MSM partners, and the noise machine behind her, who invented them.
 
I think it is perfectly ok to label millions of people, though it may not be politically wise. If we define deplorable people as those who believe deplorable things and we know that a certain percentage of a candidate's supporters believe certain deplorable things then it is perfectly reasonable to label that percentage of supporters as deplorable.

Throwing 50% off the top of her head may have been too haphazard. It might be more, it might be less. But if, for example, back in February she said that at least 31% of Trump's supporters in South Carolina are deplorable she would be correct, from most people's perspective. Why? Because back in February 31% of Trump supporters there believed that homosexuals should be banned from entering the United States. That is a deplorable thing to believe. Those people are deplorable.

Trump, Clinton Still Have Big SC Leads - Public Policy Polling

There are deplorable people who support every candidate. Nothing wrong with pointing them out.

Please encourage all Hillary supporters to join Hillary in calling 50% of Trump supporters deplorable.

May I suggest billboards and even better, TV and Internet campaigns.

Thank you in advance.

You implied it when you asked him if he spoke Spanish.

Just because something may be a true statement doesn't necessarily mean it is a politically wise thing to say. In fact, one might even say it isn't..."politically correct". ;)

Does this mean you will likely not encourage Hillary supporters to join Hillary in calling 50% of Trump supporters deplorable?

We're supposed to be electing leaders, though. Not irresponsible dicks.
