About Deplorable people

Part of the problem is that this media is willing to put anything Hillary says under an electron microscope, while Trump is literally encouraged to say things that would make you put your six year old in a "time out" chair.

Was "half of" a bad term, perhaps...but neither she nor we need to walk that back, because not only is it true, but it also brings focus to something that MUST be put to every voter, that if you vote for Trump, you are with Trump. Trump does not care if you hate Hillary Clinton, all he cares about is that you helped him get into power, and rest assured, the only way to keep him out of power is to make sure more people for FOR Hillary than him.

So, not half eh? Fine, judge him by the people who MANAGE his campaign, who he hired to do so. Bannon, outspoken racist and sexist. Lewendoski, fired for berating a woman, Manafort, possible Russian agent. During a normal year, any one of those three would be a deal breaker; even the Bushes would not hire them. Yet, we can easily see people "she had no right ta say half" with "OK, look who he hires to manage things." We have every reason to assume that if he hires these people, he likes the way they do things...

and if they are deplorable people using deplorable methods, we have every right to assume at least half the supporters like them too, or at the very least, that they will keep in power, and that Trump will not care if they are Deplorable!

really needs further discussion. These are truly despicable career deplorables whom the Bushes would have dealt with only distantly through carefully created and credible cut-outs. And now these bottom-feeders have risen out of the dark depths and are running manipulable Trump's campaign for SCOTUS. Or trying to...

So, let's continue the discussion of Trump's basket of deplorables, but at all levels. It's not like the pro-Russian contingent is gone either. They're still inside and very influential, which means Putin is too.

Btw, even all those people deploring Hillary's use of "deplorables" on TV are using the term over and over and over.
