Trump never gets called out for using the term "anchor babies"

But that is a terribly offensive derogatory term to describe millions of Americans. And he used it, repeatedly.

He even went so far as to say they aren't real Americans.

HRC took a lot of shit for her "deplorables" comment, but she was only referring to the bigots, xenophobes, and misogynists that support Trump. She wasn't saying they're deplorable for supporting Trump, she was saying they're deplorable for their loathsome views.

Trump OTOH attacked these people merely for the origin of their parents, something they have no control over.

I'd love to see HRC nail him on that one. It's quietly one of Donald's biggest offenses.
