Clinton: Trump supporters in 'basket of deplorables...

Hillary Clinton told an audience of donors Friday night that half of Donald Trump's supporters fall into "the basket of deplorables," meaning people who were racist, sexist, homophobic or xenophobic.

Calling 1/4 of the US population a "basket of deplorables"? Interesting strategy.

This is her 47% moment. She's done

this makes you realize why she won't release her Wall Street speech transcripts

Who else is here after Biden’s “garbage” comment?

Grandma's dementia is acting up again.

Two things I learned about myself. One, Im deplorable because I support Trump. Two, I live in a basket.

Name calling will surely work this time.

The 'Deplorable' comment she made absolutely did her in.. I was on the fence on my choice but i had (at the time) a daughter as well as a son in the military and they both liked Trump. In effect she called both of them deplorable. She lost in grand total over 20 votes from my family alone (and i can speak for thousands) in my swing State of Pennsylvania they felt the same way.

I'm surprised CNN uploaded this video. As much as I hate to say it. Good job CNN.

People likely wont care about this because it's OK if Hillary insults and generalizes. Only Trump is not allowed to do that. That's like if Trump were to say: "You can put half of the Hillary supporters into a basket of deportables." The biased media and basement meme artists would go ape shit all over it. They would foam at the mouth over this story and turn it into a cheesy comedy show with pre-recorded laughs.

When you insult a quarter of the country at once and expect to win the election

This is why she lost, she stooped to his level of ad hominem. How are you going to get people to vote you if you make fun of them like that? Not for Trump at all, but this is how he got more people to vote on him. For someone like her trying to "unite" America, she's clearly dividing it by attacking people as well. She deserved the L, honestly.

Hillary underestimated the size of the deplorables basket.

We're going to need a bigger basket. ^_^

[mr.anonymous]

I'm a Trump supporter. I guess I'm deplorable.

January 15, 2021 she was right and now we all know

[stevenharden]

HRC campaign slogan is Stronger Together, yet she never misses an opportunity to target those who do not support her. All this does is cause anger and resentment making harder to come together, and she knows it.

This aged better than any wine could've.

I genuinely believe this comment was the main reason she lost in 2016.
