Hillary regrets saying half of Trump's supporters are basket of deplorables

[NightWatcher]

The actual number is closer to 90%. She will try to be more accurate in the future.

1. I was thinking that too.

Can someone do a count, please?

13. It appears to be about two-thirds of Trump supporters.

2. Yep, thought she was being generous.

3. Yeppers.

He's mad because she's undercounting his peeps.

4. I think this went over so many heads - LOL

[Vinca]

5. I regret Democrats always feel the need to apologize.

When white supremacists are sending out robo calls telling people to vote for you, there are deplorable people involved.

6. Not to mention how many of them call her the C word, B word, W word...

8. And demonize "liberals" n/t

[Paladin]

7. So do I.

There never seems to be a shortage of people insisting on Democrats playing by rules of conduct that the right wing threw away decades ago. Hillary should have stuck with her original statement---classifying only half of Trump's followers as vermin showed great restraint on her part. Her retreat will energize Trump's campaign.

9. Anyone who votes for that POS Drumpf is a degenerate SOB.

The figure is a solid 100 percent.

10. Regrets?

Let me make this perfectly clear and big to all lurkers reading this.

[font size="5"]If you think President Trump and Vice President Pence, complete with a Ryan Congress and a McConnell Senate is a great idea, you are unequivocally A FUCKING IDIOT!!![/font]

Like that, Trumpkins? It's going to be a cold day in hell before you'll get a "sorry" from me.

Same goes for any Libertarian party member who thinks being hyper-right-wing is the answer to America's ills.

[YOHABLO]

11. Oh hell, here we go again apologizing for another truthful statement.

I personally, would have used a much stronger word than deplorable. How about imbeciles or how about bat-shit crazies?

[cloudbase]

12. The proper apology goes as follows:

I'm sorry for what I said. What I meant to say is that half of Trump's supporters are not deplorable.

[BigBearJohn]

14. And the remaining 10% are dumber than a box of rocks!

[bucolic_frolic]

15. Well I would have said Scopes' Trial Neanderthals

but it's Hillary's call and she is correct, 100%

[tenderfoot]

16. She's wrong about half of Trump's supporters being deplorable...

because 99.9% of them are deplorable.

She's needs to get her facts straight.
