Ridiculous and laughable unforced error on Trump’s part. Now all she has to do is decline to apologize, and she makes him look utterly impotent. And “deplorables” stays in the discourse for another news cycle.

Trump To Clinton: Apologize For ‘Deplorables’ Insult Or Drop Out

srfromgr to Trump: Apologize For ‘Calling Obama’s Birth Certificate a Fraud’ Insult or Drop The Fuck Out.

I could go on…but I’ll let TPMers here write their own headlines. There’s not enough space here for me to encapsulate all the ways this man should drop out if insults are on the table…

So Trump is now in favor of political correctness? That’s cute.

I hope the Clinton campaign responds with tough language, telling --no, demanding–that in light of his deplorable campaign of racist, sexist, anti-Muslim, anti-refugee, anti-Hispanic, anti-disabled person, and pro-dictator rants, he drop out, now!

The nerve of this clod…
I thought:
“One people, under one God, saluting one flag,” was a tad problematical…

Clinton’s original “deplorables” comment may turn out to be the greatest Machiavellian move in that it turns the spotlight back on Trump and his notorious supporters.

Ha Ha. Because Hillary doesn’t share Donald’s complete inability to apologize, she’s already taken care of it.

Shorter Hills: "I’m sorry…

…if your ignorant, racist, misogynistic, dumbfuck followers are too stupid to known that “deplorables” doesn’t mean that we want to send them all to Mexico."

She did fucking apologize, you POS! She apologized for the only thing that could be considered remotely wrong – the word “half.”

She needs to take this right back at him (and I trust that the campaign will): “Trump wants us to apologize for standing up to avowed racists, for pointing out that his supporters are Nazis, Klansmen and the so-called ‘alt-right’? For pointing out that the chief of his campaign is the media tribune of the alt-right? For pointing out that he himself has a long history of discrimination and has had to pay fines for barring blacks from his apartments? That he can’t stop making bigoted comments about Mexicans, Muslims and women? That his supporters implied that a heroic American soldier was a terrorist simply because he was Muslim? That he’s retweeted anti-semitic hate memes from white supremacists? He wants us to apologize for that?”

No, the comment by Clinton was a stupid, unnecessary, and unforced error.

He went on to say Clinton’s remarks, which she later said were “wrong,” should disqualify her from the presidency.

Clinton never said her “remarks” were “wrong.” She said, "“Last night I was ‘grossly generalistic,’ and that’s never a good idea. I regret saying ‘half’ – that was wrong.”

"I regret saying ‘half’ – that was wrong."

Ms. Krueger, does that really sound like Clinton’s calling her remarks wrong? Considering the very next paragraph in the TPM article covering her clarification is, “But Clinton would not fully back down from the comments she made at a Friday night fundraiser.” And “‘I won’t stop calling out bigotry and racist rhetoric in this campaign.’”

There’s a good chance she will apologize and make it appear much worse than it was. What the Trump campaign is doing is basic Lee Atwater stuff. I’m surprised the Clinton Camp doesn’t understand how to effectively deal with it.
