I think $Hillary is guilty of telling everyone how she really feels in a candid and truthful manner - very uncharacteristic of her.
Let’s look at who else is in this “basket of deplorables":
- The soldiers who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. We know they are Trump supporters. The latest poll shows Trump winning the military vote by a landslide. Hillary thinks they are "deplorable."
- Military veterans. These are the Americans who were willing to die for our freedoms. Vets were included in that military poll that showed Trump winning by a landslide.
- Vets who came home from Iraq and Afghanistan with no arms, or no legs, or both. I’m betting most of them are for Trump too. Does Hillary think they’re “deplorable?”
- Policemen murdered in the line of duty -- like the five officers recently killed in Dallas, or the three who were killed in Baton Rouge. Most every police officer I meet is voting for Trump.
- The spouses and children of policemen murdered in the line of duty. What if they're voting for Trump? Are they “deplorable” to Hillary and her supporters?
- Every red-blooded regular church-goer on Sunday mornings in America. We know a large majority of regular church-goers are for Trump.
- A majority of the 28 million small business owners in America. This group will be voting overwhelmingly for Trump. They get up early, work 16 hour days, risk their own money, and create the majority of America's private sector jobs. But Hillary doesn't like them very much. She thinks if they vote for Trump they're "deplorable."
Now Hillary is walking back her comment. She says she regrets "basket of deplorables" gaffe. But it's too late. We all know your first comment was the raw truth. That was how you really feel about Trump voters.
The only thing Hillary really regrets is that she let the cat out of the bag.
