Okay, maybe Hillary shouldn't have talked about Trump's "basket" of deplorables.

She should have talked about his "big tent" of deplorables, like David Duke.

It’s good to see an individual like Pence and others start to reject this absolute controlled media. The truth is that the Republican Party in Louisiana — I received the vast majority of Republican votes for United States Senator before and for governor before that in my state. The truth is the Republican Party is big tent. I served in the Republican caucus. I was in the Republican caucus in the legislature. I had a perfect Republican voting record. It’s ridiculous that they attack me because of my involvement in that non-violent Klan four decades ago.

Seems like she should have been more specific The_Casual_Observer Sep 2016 #1
She was more specific than using the term "alt-right" -- which means very little to most people. pnwmom Sep 2016 #2
That's pretty much the definition of alt-right according to wiki as The_Casual_Observer Sep 2016 #3
So she explained the term clearly while denouncing them- good! bettyellen Sep 2016 #4

And called out the so called alt-right.

I just shut Trump off when he starts in about this thing. As expected, it just gave him one more shitty topic for him and his buddies to rant about.

She referred to people who are "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic."
