I said that in another thread. The excuse is in. It will be blaming it on race. Obama has said it overseas and so did Bill. S

Yea and this running out in the world and talking this sort of trash........folks were uneasy about and now sick of it and now the Dem party will be flushed out the pipe and can go over there and live somewhere and "learn" from other cultures.

Trump closes in on Clinton's projected electoral lead: Reuters/Ipsos Poll

The Hillary's Campaign Against US Citizens (CAUC) is already costing her.

Regardless of the apologies( and there will be many from the MSM) Hillary Clinton, from now until forever, will now be known as the person who thinks a large segment of the population is "deplorable".

SO...

That grey bar on the left is how much Trump Supporters agree with the view that African Americans are violent.

The Red bar beside it represents Republicans



Ditto here on whether African Americans are Lazy...Grey bar Trump supporters red bar republicans



Data from the American National Elections Studies

Nearly half of Trump's supporters described African Americans as more "violent" than whites. The same proportion described African Americans as more "criminal" than whites, while 40 percent described them as more "lazy" than whites.

Right polls are good again if they're positive for Trump! I had forgotten that particular irrationality.

One MSM poll doesn't invalidate dozens of others.

Florida is 58.4% likely for Clinton as opposed to 41.6% for Trump per Nate Silver's site which incorporates multiple polls and trends over time.

Not even close.

Boy that trick is older than dirt isn't it.

Do the damage and then give the illusion of apology after the message is unrecoverable.

I'm tired people apologizing for speaking the truth.

The ONLY reason Hillary is "apologizing" is because she wants to win over some on-the-fence Trump voters before November 8th.

In actuality, this woman thinks that anyone who can't feed a large sum of money to her Clinton Foundation monster is a DEPLORABLE. She despises each of us equally.

Per capita, who is the most violent? By race, and by political party?

Where's the bar that shows Hillary (C)linton calling African-Americans "Super-Predators"?

And pull the mask all the way off and they feel that that half of Trumps that are hardworking and looking for a change are misguided fools, wage slaves other sorts of dumbasses that need "educated".

A post full of opinion, which I understand from your perspective, but utterly disagree with based on the facts I am aware of.

No, Clinton is not going for "on the fence" Trump supporters ... she finally had the guts to speak a small bit of direct truth.

In actuality, you don't know that HIllary Clinton thinks unless you're a telepath ... is that what you're claiming?

She stated, quite clearly, that racists, sexists and homophobes are deplorable. Do you disagree?

It's right beside the rental applications that the Trumps marked (C)olored when they were from African Americans.

He was a junior partner in those days ... he may have gone out for McDonald's for Daddy as well ... thankfully, now he has Governor Christie for that.

Absolutely agree.

May I co-opt that and use it as my desktop image?

LOL...I was waiting for someone to come up with THAT one!

So who sat down and explained what the word deplorable meant to Trumps supporters?

"To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables," Clinton said. "Right? Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it." She added, "And unfortunately, there are people like that and he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people, now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric."

She suggested that the second “bucket” of Trump supporters feel alienated by economic instability and government dysfunction and are desperate for any change. They don’t buy everything he says, but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different,” she continued. “Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well.”
