over "deplorables." Most reported on comments in 2016, but seldom after that. It is an apt phrase.

They hung that around Madame Secretaries neck, and referred to it every time they thought they could 'make hay' w it. She was being polite. They're much worse.
HRC is always correct.

6. That is a musquote

She said among his supporters was a basket of deplorables. She was clear it wasnt every or even most traditional GOP. But that was the point the media stretched what she said to make a story.

7. With one out-of-context word, Hillary ruined the world. Of course! It was very important for everyone

to never, ever, ever ask themselves (especially media and those demonizing her from the Left) what THEY did wrong (Ana Navarro of "The View" brought up today how Hillary had people coming up to her for years apologizing for not voting) - was always what SHE did wrong, like saying a word taken out of context, or not doing enough rallies when she had pneumonia (and now there's a national myth everyone seems to believe that rallies are the most important thing and if you don't go out on a stage in just the right places every day in swing states to shout at people who are already going to vote for you, it's impossible to win.)

But Trump says literally any crazy thing boomeranging around his empty head, horrible candidate and campaign and so what?
