From Vixen Strangely at Strangely Blogged:
Hillary Clinton got “busted” telling a little bit of not-quite-politically-correct truth regarding who she sees Trump supporters as–she commented that about half of them are in “a basket of deplorables”.
Huh. This just seems to me like a furtherance of her comments regarding the symbiosis between the Trump campaign and the alt-right. Nothing much new here. She later pulled back on the statement, but only to the effect that labeling half the Trump supporters as deplorable is probably a bit too high. (Or is it?) But I think the outcry regarding what she said is pretty overwrought. She did not say “half of all Americans”–she was referring to about half of Trump supporters, which is a pool of likely voters according to most polls smaller than her group of supporters.
