When Hillary Clinton declared half of Donald Trump's supporters to be a "basket of deplorables," it did more than provide my fantasy football team with a sensational name. It also exposed Trump supporters many of whom Clinton described accurately as having glass chins, dropping to the canvas as soon as Clinton grazed them with a right-cross.
Trump's histrionic, soccer-style flop continued Monday, when he told the National Guard Association conference in Baltimore that Clinton "divides people into baskets, as if they were not human beings."
"You cant lead this nation if you have such a low opinion for its citizens," Trump told the crowd, adding that Clinton's comment was "perhaps the most explicit attack on the American voter ever spoken by a presidential nominee."
Had Marco Rubio or Jeb Bush been the nominee making these charges, perhaps they wouldn't be so risible. The animating principle of Trump's campaign has been his deployment of insults, cheap shots and distaste. To act as if he is some paragon of campaign etiquette now tests credulity more than a rom-com in which Katherine Heigl can't find a date. It is utterly preposterous.
