1. I agree with Hillary.

[napkinz]

2. so do I

[phallon]

11. Me too.

[Hortensis]

23. "Deplorable" -- my new favorite word. :)

[napkinz]

25. Deplorable Donald!

[Hortensis]

26. He's way beyond deplorable. I have no ladylike words for him.

[napkinz]

28. POS

I think that best describes him.

[Hortensis]

30. That general direction, anyway. We need a term, though,

that gets across the reality that the Republicans have actually nominated for POTUS a seriously mentally dysfunctional man. POS's are very common in politics. THIS is truly a new and formerly unbelievable... Turns out I need a new word for "low" also.

[vlyons]

32. How about depraved?

Depraved is defined as "moral corruption," and it's (along with "depravity") are terms that I've been using recently.

[Hortensis]

33. Excellent! A new level of partisan depravity.

[napkinz]

36. depraved

[napkinz]

55. there's also Despicable Donald

3. Hillary is sticking to her message - she took the mic - and drppoed it..on drumpf

so many are missing her original comment - and she only regret's saying "half" of pouty-nouths followers

original comment included the basket of deplorable -

“The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it.”

“And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up,” she added.

[napkinz]

16. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it.”

yep, she nailed it:

4. Spare me the phony outrage over Clinton’s ‘basket of deplorables’ remark

Spare me the phony outrage over Clinton’s ‘basket of deplorables’ remark
By Greg Sargent September 10

Donald Trump and his spinners are outraged — and some reporters are murmuring their disapproval — ....... Let’s stipulate at the outset that this kind of generalization is not defensible. Clinton should not have described “half” of Trump’s supporters this way. People have all kinds of reasons for supporting their candidate — party loyalty; reflexive negative partisanship; genuine distaste with the alternatives; meaningful, legitimate support for certain aspects of the candidate’s agenda, and not others; and so forth.

A Clinton spokesperson qualified these remarks in a series of tweets, pointing out that Clinton was talking about Trump’s rally crowds, and noting that half of them appear to be alt-right types. But even so, Clinton doesn’t know what ultimately is motivating “half” of Trump’s rally attendees, and she should not claim to.

But if there is one group of people who should take their outrage about Clinton’s comments and stuff it in a very dark place, it’s Trump and his paid apologists, who unloaded in a series of tweets this morning. Trump’s campaign even put out a statement claiming that Clinton “revealed her true contempt for everyday Americans.”

Oh, please. Two things can be true at the same time: First, Clinton overgeneralized about what’s in the hearts and minds of Trump supporters. Second, her underlying characterization of the general nature of many of Trump’s campaign appeals — and her related observation that they really are successfully playing on the baser instincts of an untold number of Trump’s supporters — are 100 percent accurate.

5. She probably regrets saying basket when she meant barrel.

[BumRushDaShow]

7. Or a silo!

[sheshe2]

8. Honey

You are cracking me up today...

[BumRushDaShow]

10. It's been one of those days!

[Hortensis]

24. Or a slough of deplorables. Note the pun!? LOL.

Seriously, I'm just carried away with the refined, feminine touch "basket" gives. Wonder how long it took them to decide on that? Love to see their discards.

[vlyons]

34. more like dump truck

[napkinz]

39. at first I read that as dump trump

[BumRushDaShow]

6. Exactly

Double-down.

It will be interesting if an ad has been (or is being) made called "Deplorable" that is nothing but a string of all the verbal vomit that has ushered forth from his mouth. I think there was an OP that mentions the new strategy for crafting her ads. Literally letting the opposing candidate's words speak for themselves. No need to have sneering voice-over narration with dark black and white imagery and foreboding music in an attempt to create a menacing candidate. The man IS a menace to society every time he opens his mouth - in full living color and without any other commentary needed!

[radical noodle]

35. Most of the ads I see in Florida

are primarily him speaking at his rallies with a little bit of guidance in what people are really seeing him say and do. Our children are watching. Unfit. Things like that. I like that this new approach speaks with clarity about the racism.

[BumRushDaShow]

37. The one I have primarily seen here in Philly

is the military one (I think it was called "Sacrifice&quot .

When we on DU declare that "the ads write themselves" with all the crap that he has spewed over the decades, this is how you do it! It frames him as the lunatic that he is - right out of his own mouth and not even out of context.

[radical noodle]

38. She has a ton of ads here

I like the ones where she's in a plain blue blouse, talking to voters about things she wants to do for us. How she will grow jobs. How she will address climate change. Short and to the point. She's had terrific ads.

[BumRushDaShow]

40. Since Philly usually throws the state blue during Presidential elections

I expect she is really focusing ads in the central and western parts of this state via the Pittsburgh media market (which also covers eastern OH). Prez. O is supposed to be here Tuesday to rally the city. I just looked it up and they finally announced the venue - right in front of the Art Museum.

[radical noodle]

41. Our cable feeds are from Orlando and Gainesville

and that is often an area they concentrate on... at least that's what I've been told. This is my first presidential vote in Florida. So excited to be in a swing state instead of deep red Indiana.

[BumRushDaShow]

42. I am optimistic about FL

mainly because Obama won it twice. It was close but he did it, despite Rick Scott's intransigence, and because people were willing to stand in line for hours!!!

I am actually also a tiny bit more optimistic about IN only because Evan Bayh is running again and the last time he was on the ballot, Obama actually won IN (2008).

Wishing you all the luck!!

44. Univision forecast: Latino vote will sink Trump in Florida

Hillary Clinton will win the key swing state of Florida thanks to the Latino vote, a Univision News election forecast predicts. Without Florida's electoral votes, Trump can't win in November.

Donald Trump will lose the election in Florida - the swing state with the most electoral votes - because most Latinos won't vote for him, Univision News predicts.

As a result, it's virtually impossible for him to win the White House due to the electoral college system, according to a a Univision data analysis of the key five swing states expected to determine the outcome in November.

The forecast, based on a statistical analysis of the presidential race, found that Hillary Clinton will win 48.39% of the vote in Florida, versus 44.87% for Trump.

[BumRushDaShow]

45. Yeah - he even pissed off dedicated GOP Cubans

notably the Rubio & Cruz supporters!

[napkinz]

46. I hope Rubio goes down with him.

[BumRushDaShow]

47. That would be sweet

but am not sure if there is straight-ticket voting allowed there (which would make it a shoo-in).

[napkinz]

48. I just looked it up. These states have straight-ticket voting:

Alabama, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah.

[BumRushDaShow]

49. Yeah I know mine (PA) does and that is what I'll be doing

to also get McGinty elected and Toomey the hell out!

[napkinz]

50. wow, I just checked

Toomey 46% McGinty 45%

We really need to win PA if we're going to take back the Senate.

[BumRushDaShow]

51. Yup and President Obama will be here Tuesday

to make that point about getting out to vote!

http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/real-time/Barack-Obama-to-campaign-for-Hillary-Clinton-at-Eakins-Oval.html

We just need to make sure people in Philly go straight ticket and that will pick up both Hillary and Katie.

[napkinz]

53. great!

[BumRushDaShow]

54. Philly will be fired up, ready to go!

[sheshe2]

9. I stand with Hillary!

Excellent, thanks napkinz!

[napkinz]

12. you're welcome sheshe :)

I did another thread in GD calling out the media for their DEPLORABLE dereliction of their journalistic duties in failing to cover Trump's many scandals, for failing to go after Trump with the same tenacity they have gone after Hillary.

see http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028156394

[nolabear]

13. What a relief to hear the truth! We've let the abuse go on for so long.

We need her voice to rally behind and we need our own judgment to keep us standing strong but not turning into them.

[napkinz]

17. not calling out these haters would be deplorable

We have an obligation to call out and condemn racism and misogyny.

[phallon]

14. Thank You Hillary!

I stand with Hillary.
I think the media and Republicans have the burden of proof to refute you original 1/4 of Trump supporters being deplorable

[napkinz]

20. all we have to do is show the videos of how his supporters behave at his rallies

[NastyRiffraff]

15. I'm glad she's calling things by their right names

I do think she should have confined the "deplorable" remarks to some of the rally-going Trumpites; a lot of them are very clearly alt-right. That's not a generalization but a fact, verifiable by their signs, their calls to "lock her up," and the ugly racist and misogynist chants.

But I'm glad she's sticking to her guns. The fake outrage by the Trump campaign and most of the media shows they know only sound bites. Nuance is a complete mystery to them.

[napkinz]

18. here's a sample ...

[calimary]

52. Thugs Incorporated.

[napkinz]

56. :)

[KMOD]

19. I'm with her

[napkinz]

21. I'm with her. And the DEPLORABLES are with him!

[napkinz]

22. ...

[gademocrat7]

27. I am with her!

Thank you, napkinz.

[napkinz]

29. you're welcome gademocrat7

[workinclasszero]

31. Trump is the living embodiment of the word...

Deplorable!

[napkinz]

43. sums up his whole life
