Trump: Clinton must retract ‘deplorables’ remark or end campaign
Source: The Hill
Donald Trump ripped Hillary Clinton on Monday for describing some of his supporters as racists and bigots, saying the remarks disqualify her from serving in the White House.
Speaking at the National Guard Associations yearly conference in Baltimore, Trump cast Clinton as an elitist whose remarks belie a deep-seated disdain for ordinary Americans.
Trump said Clinton must fully retract her comments or drop out of the race.
The disdain that Hillary Clinton expressed for millions of decent Americans disqualifies her from public service, Trump said. You cannot run for president if you have such contempt in your heart for the American voter, and she does. You cant lead this nation if you have such a low opinion for its citizens.

(23,295 posts)she is 'sorry' for the statement. She left herself open for this. Trump has said much worse multiple times over the course of his fraudulent campaign and will never apologize for any of it. Fuck Drumpf.

(7,633 posts)I was saying this yesterday - that the "regretting" the half part would somehow be turned into an apology for the whole statement.
All the talking heads are all over this today saying what a mistake she made in putting out the original statement in the first place.
Now Trump is demanding a full fall on your sword and drop out of the race apocalypse.
The DNC should just run that tape of Trump's supporters disgusting, racist comments the NYT put out - in the form of an ad and quickly too.

This guy called for his opponent to be assassinated last month, FFS. But as always, IOKIYAR.
Trump could tweet "exterminate the Jews" and his supporters would say "finally, someone who tells it like it is!" And after the well-deserved backlash, they would say "it was sarcasm!"

Trump shouldn't have used the word "decent" in his statement, as the people referred to here are anything but. He's clearly welcoming and courting a dangerous element of society---nothing new, but sadly not gone yet.

(3,739 posts)or her spokes persons explain what she was talking about, it emphasizes and reminds people of all the nasty things Trump has said and also about the nasty bigots in his sphere. Also, the term "deplorables" is not a loaded term. And frankly, anyone who is still "trying to decide" between Hillary and Trump is not that bright and probably does not even know what "deplorable" means.
ColemanMaskell
(783 posts)The more fuss he makes about it, the more it stays in the media, and the more people focus on it. Anyone not in that group should be able to see what she was talking about pretty easily without looking too hard. So it helps her by bringing people to focus on one of his weaknesses (at last). Retracting the "HALF" part of the remark was exactly perfect. I think she's getting the hang of this media thing at last.

(234 posts)is that it implied that Hillary's supporters are morally "better" than Drumpf's. He can't stand that shit. He has to have the best supporters.

HOWEVER, Romney made his statement at a closed fund raiser and he was indeed disparaging average Americans.
Hillary wasn't broad brushing. She was referencing a specific group in an open forum who are also vocal Trump supporters.
Why Trumpski is entertaining this particular select group of miscreants is beyond me aside from the fact they are historically very loud, obnoxious and end up on the wrong side of almost every media story in which they appear.
They don't believe in our Federal Government.
They aren't really religious.
They aren't really patriotic.
They don't believe in any sort of equality or fair play except for people who are exactly like them.
They don't believe in paying taxes. (and many of them don't pay taxes)
They don't believe in our established judicial system.
They have no respect for Law Enforcement.
Most of them are broke or involved in some pyramid scheme.
The most striking feature of this group is... THEY DON'T VOTE!
So, I don't understand the appeal other than they are the only group of Authoritarians Trumpogutan seems to be able to control. (Well, not really control, but, they speak highly of him. Like the leader of North Korea.)
I don't get it.

(23,105 posts)Drumpf and his supporters are haters and she told the truth. She shouldn't have said 50%, those kind of details trip one up, but she got it right in the facts. Listen to the raw tape of supporters at his rallies, they are totally heinous and violent, just like their furher.
Hey orange idiot, when you apologize for bribing officials using charity money given to you by others, when you say vile things about military heros and their families, when you encourage violence against people because of the color or their skin, when you want to use nukes, when you love Russia and Putin more than your own country and it's president - these are disqualifying things that are very real.
