Are we going to get "WELLSTONED" with the "deplorables" thing or is it a bold stroke?

[UTUSN]

My first reaction was that this puts us in DRUMPF's pigsty, that doing the insult thing on *people* instead of just DRUMPF would backfire.

Already, the focus is on DRUMPF's demanding an apology for his oh-so-sweet/maligned zombies, which the media will jump on 24/7, "Are you going to apologize?!1 Is it fair to name call people who have a right to be followers?!1"

At WELLSTONE's memorial service, bad mouthing the Repukes backfired.

That was my *first* take. But now I'm thinking that this just might be a bold stroke, calling out bad actors for what they are. I'm sure she will have a response ready for DRUMPF and the debate moderators who will righteously demand apologies and keep on smacking her down.

1. No. I remember the guns and bible statement taken out of context with president Obama

The media spent weeks on that. The voters yawned and knew what the president meant. Same situation here. No harm to Democratic Party at all.

2. Isn't the next debate with fake news?

A side from that, I personally don't think HRC will get fair and balance debates.

[nolabear]

13. No, it's Lester Holt. NBC. I think he'll do well.

[anamandujano]

3. She has to say what the braindead prostituted MSM isn't saying.

Bizzaro world needs to go bye bye in a puff of reality smoke, real reality not the Trump variety. Don't we all feel better when she clears things up?

What can they say, that it's not true?

[underpants]

9. They've been verbally contorting themselves not to just say RACIST

I agree she just cut through the media.

[librechik]

4. too many syllables. That alone is reason for some to hate her.

imagine the hay trump will make from this.

[underpants]

7. Yep hard for the MSM to give legs

Way too many syllables

I posted basically the same thing elsewhere

[librechik]

11. If I were writing Hillary's lines I would have said "a basket of un-mixed nuts. "

But that's why no one serious would hire me.

[underpants]

16. If her comment was planned I think it implies that he is a basket case.

Health issues? Let's talk mental health.

[anamandujano]

15. "imagine the hay trump will make from this." Looking forward to it.

[Mika]

5. It's already started. Media asking Hil camp to tone it down.

[anamandujano]

10. Did they ever ask the moron who daily incites violence to tone it down?

[Avalux]

6. It was a bold stroke and it needed to be said.

We cannot continue to ignore the percentage of Americans who are driven by hate and don't value the lives of others. They need to be called out as Hillary did (because it's the TRUTH). If we continue to ignore these people or dance around them we are in danger of allowing them to gain more and more power.

I love Hillary for saying what she did.

8. I don't think it will make a difference one way or the other.

Trump says insulting things all the time and barely moves his poll numbers. I'm sure Clinton can do the same thing w/o problems. I think the only place that will hurt Clinton is maybe like Ohio, WV and Michigan and she probably won't win there anyway.

I think the more country club republicans will go for Clinton over Trump anyway because she will basically maintain the status quo with a few minor tweaks and they will make up for any slight loss among the angry white rednecks that she was talking about.

[underpants]

14. Good analysis

Ohio is a coin toss but she will win Michigan.

[underpants]

12. Nope. At this point it should full James Carville SCREW THEM! PUT IT IN THEIR DAMN FACES!!

That was his role in the Bill campaigns.

[nolabear]

17. I'd use it to divide his base. Lean in.

They're going to try to ignore the last half of the statement, that many are frightened and worried. I'd point out how the deplorables are doing great harm to them by their rhetoric and lack of concern for helping them get the help they need to succeed.

[lame54]

18. I may be a misstep...

1) It's red meat for them to attack while Trump's scandals continue to be ignored

2) She's running to be Everybody's President - even those who would never vote for her

[loyalsister]

19. It is definitely not helpful

Demonizing the opponent is one thing, demonizing supporters who might be willing to vote for Democrats down ticket is not smart. There are a lot of people who are not party line voters, especially in states that don't have straight ticket voting. Do we just want a Democratic president, or do we want more Democrats in office altogether? If we want more Democrats, spreading hate towards supporters of the GOP presidential candidate does nothing to facilitate that goal.
Getting one's own supporters riled against other people is the flip side of what Trump is doing when he uses rhetoric to get his supporters to target minorities with their angst and bigotry. No matter the target, hate is hate.

20. Deplorables have been up front and in our face since drumpf

outed and hired his gang of white nationals - the brietbart gang...so I say - NO Hillary - there will be no apology -

DEPLORABLES - you know who you are - so if the shoe fits..you are going to wear it..just like you wear your badge of hate and racism and bigotry..wherever you go - and shove it in our face...have your hissy fit - we can see you - even now, without your white hooded costume..POS disgusting miscreants..

Deplorable is being kind!

[Wellstone ruled]

21. Hillary's Campaign just

exposed the Media with her comment. Watch for the Militia's and Klucker's to act out in the next few days. Understand they want to make a stand against the Fed's in North Dakota this coming week.

[UTUSN]

22. ***Well, she "regrets".*** It's done for us, will be a stick to beat her with for them. n/t

[Iggo]

23. It's the truth and I don't care if they're pissed.

They hate brown people.
They hate black people.
They hate red people.
They hate yellow people.
They hate gay people.
They hate poor people.
They hate women.
And they hate anyone who doesn't hate at least one of the above.

So.
Fuck.
Them.
