Something I would LOVE to hear: The Deplorables don't think Hillary was talking about them!!!

I wish some/any journalist was smart enough to realize this:

Those who are racist, sexist, xenophobic don't think they are those things, so they don't even get that Hillary was talking about them. Those who support Trump and truly aren't those things, although like the Abominable Snowman, I don't know if they exist, are the ones who more than likely think Hillary was talking about them. And what she said may very well give them pause.

So she didn't insult the Deplorables at all, cause they don't get it.

The vice presidential candidate said he doesn’t want the former KKK grand wizard’s support — but he doesn’t want to call him names either.
