Candidate for the Maximus clueless irony award of the year…

The truly deplorable thing in this race is the shameful level of condescension & disrespect Hillary Clinton is showing to her fellow citizens

Tell that to the Khans, Muslims, folks of Hispanic Heritage, veterans, etc. etc. etc.

This stuff is literally all they have. Of course they’ll ride it to election day and then to November 2020 because they can’t craft anything of their own.

Tim Kaine, lovin this guy with his clear, explicit explanation.

If another elected Democrat beside Liz Warren and Kaine comes to Clinton’s defense and stays there, nobody will be more shocked than me. What they’ll do at most is issue a mild press release through their campaign PR flack and then retreat into their defensive crouch.

They’re all with her. It’s September, game on. Stand back and be surprised.

Hope you’re right. While it’s not encouraging that this info didn’t come from anybody connected directly to the party, maybe the Clinton campaign can throw this back in the face of the Trumpers anyhow: Trump's campaign manager Kellyanne Conway called his supporters: "downright nasty" & "skeeze"

Where is the RNC response to “String Her up!” or “Lock Her up!” chants from tRump rallies? Guess there will be none from the GOTP RNC.

And it doesn’t even make sense. She shows contempt for “people in her ‘basket?’” I thought they were bitching about her insulting people in their basket.

Well, the GOP’ers may have a point.

Madame President may have overstated things at “half”.

The basket of deplorables is really only around 29.9%

Well, you know Republicans – always worried about someone else’s basket. :smirk:

On further thought, John Lewis statement would work well here, followed by Barney Frank, Tammy Baldwin, Booker…Democrats got lots of notable minorities that represent the hated groups.

If Republicans think their going to get any traction on this comment, their wrong. The majority of people agree with her on that and also a huge part of the GOP.

Hillary should not express regret unless and until trump APOLOGIZES for his many many epically deplorable comments.
To wit
Mexicans are rapists and criminals
Verbally abusing a sitting federal judge
calling voters in Iowa “stupid”
Saying he could stand in 5th ave and shoot someone and not lose votes
saying Iranians who use certain hand gestures should be shot* http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-iran-war-threat_us_57d36449e4b06a74c9f4e9c9
saying Hillary wouldn’t be prosecuted if she came into the rally and in front of 20,000 people she shot someone*

  • note…these last two were comments made just TODAY from this… ahem … GOP candidate for President. Does anyone think to call him on these comments or are they just "run of the mill for trump and to be written off as sarcasm?
    And may I point out here that apparently murder would be acceptable behavior for Mr Donnie trump but heaven help us if Hillary ever got a gun.
    This points out in stark terms how differently the two parties are treated in our system and media. It is apparently acceptable for trump to behave like a carnival barker or better…an unhinged and mean pit bull running on impulse yet our democrat nominee must be held to a far higher standard. One comment by her and the shit hits the fan. HOURLY comments from trump? No biggie if he says we should have a war with Iran or “let’s make sure Japan has nukes” or some other bit of insanity. I’m reasonable certain trump will say something abysmally stupid before today’s sun sets.

I find a double standard, Trump can state anything bigoted, sexist, and our Generals are stupid, and the republican leadership says nothing about it but when Hillary says one thing about his followers which the majority think that President Obama is not a US citizen and Muslim. She claims that half of Trump’s supporters are ‘deplorable’ and the Republicans claim the presidential nominee is an elitist who does not respect the American people. I think the question is why should we respect or think that their views deserve respect when over half of the Republicans do not respect the legally elected American President.

The GOP could do a spin-off of the Capital One ads.

What’s in your basket?
