The Truth About This Alleged 'Basket of Deplorables'

And the truth about the 2016 election: It's being graded on a curve.


Are we grading El Caudillo del Mar-A-Lago, who doesn't know enough about any issue to throw to a cat, on a curve? The answer can be seen plainly enough in how everybody now is pretending that what HRC said isn't god's own truth, or how everybody is arguing that you can't say that stuff out loud because to do so is unkind to white people who are so concerned about unfair trade deals that they go to freaking Stormfront to argue about it. Talk about grading on a curve. There is an accomplished woman saying something everybody knows is true and there is a vulgar talking yam who apparently could set his own dick on fire and not pay much of a price for it on television. That is grading on the curve, but it's nothing new.

THERE IS A VULGAR TALKING YAM WHO APPARENTLY COULD SET HIS OWN DICK ON FIRE AND NOT PAY MUCH OF A PRICE FOR IT ON TELEVISION.

Hell, we've been grading Republicans on a curve for decades. We graded Reagan on a curve when he burbled about trees and air pollution. We graded him on a curve during Iran Contra on the grounds that he was too dim to know what was going on around him. We graded W on a curve for the whole 2000 campaign when he didn't know Utah from Uzbekistan, but Al Gore knew too much stuff and what fun was he, anyway? We graded Republicans on a curve when they attached themselves to the remnants of American apartheid, when they played footsie with the militias out west and with the heirs to the White Citizens Councils in the South. We graded them on a curve every time they won a campaign behind Karl Rove or Lee Atwater or the late Terry Dolan back in the 1970s. We talked about how they were "reaching out" to disillusioned white voters who'd suffered in the changing economy, as though African-American workers didn't get slugged harder than anyone else by deindustrialization. We pretended not to notice how racial animus was the accelerant for the fire of discontent in the "Reagan Democrats." That was, and is, grading on a moral curve.

We graded Republicans on a intellectual curve when they embraced a fundamentalist splinter of American Protestantism and brought themselves to a pass in which they are the 21st Century Know Nothings. They have followed movement conservatism to the point where they can ignore science and promote creationism and supply side economic foolishness simply because they can sell it to the same audiences that gobble up the red meat that's been marinating since George Wallace ran for president. Because they are graded on a curve, they can still claim to be shocked when the purist product of all of that work hijacks the nomination and gives the entire game away. Of course, Trump has been graded on a curve. If the electorate hadn't graded modern conservatism on an intellectual curve, it would've flunked out of Human College decades ago.

It is timidity now that grades this ridiculous man running this ridiculous campaign on the biggest curve of all—the timidity of a people who have declined the responsibilities of serious citizenship and the abdication of its duty under the Constitution of a putatively free press too timid to call them on it. That is the political correctness that truly is hurting the country and may yet hurt it beyond all repair. There's only one candidate now running however gingerly against that.

This is what she actually said


"To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables," Clinton said. "Right? Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it."



... and to be grossly specific, it's way more than half of them :laugh:

[Chris]

Right and Hillary hates deplorables who happen to be Americans. This will hurt her. She has backtracked from it but it's all the talk. Now when people say Trump is a racist xenophobe the retort will be at least he doesn't hate Americans.

Yes, half of Trump supporters are racistHillary Clinton may have been unwise to say half of Donald Trump’s supporters are racists and other “deplorables.” But she wasn’t wrong.

If anything, when it comes to Trump’s racist support, she might have low-balled the number.

Trump, speaking to the National Guard Association of the United States’ annual conference here Monday afternoon, proclaimed himself “deeply shocked and alarmed” about Clinton putting half of his supporters in the “basket of deplorables”— as if anybody, especially Trump, could be shocked by anything this late in the campaign. How dare she, Trump said, “attack, slander, smear, demean these wonderful, amazing people.”

But this isn’t a matter of gratuitous name-calling. This election has proved that there is much more racism in America than many believed. It came out of hiding in opposition to the first African American president, and it has been welcomed into the open by Trump.

[JVV]

Do you want Hillary to have a chance of getting anything done, or don't you?

If you do, then quit supporting her insulting people.

She'll fire up the GOP base and they'll get out and vote and they'll for sure keep the House. Might keep the Senate.



Democrats should be slaughtering Trump, should have the Senate sewn up, and should be poised to take the House.

Instead Hillary is only two points ahead of Trump.


WTH? How about giving people something to vote for instead of being insulting and divisive and acting like you're no better than what you're criticizing in others? What kind of potential leader thinks it is good to insult 20% of the people she is supposed to be leading? Big mistake. Democrats need to get their act together if they want to at least keep their Senate hopes alive.

I find it amusing that we didn't see the right get their panties in a bunch when Donald has been putting down Americans from day one of his candidacy ... but now the yare all bothered of the phrase Basket of Deplorables :laugh:

Trumps Supporters skin is as thin as his. :tongue:

Trump has been deplorable.

That's why Hillary should be running rings around him.

Instead she decided to be deplorable also.

And you're applauding her for being like Trump.

What is that supposed to mean? Do you even know?

Presidents aren't supposed to insult their constituency.

If a so-called leader can't figure out how to make their points without name-calling, then that person has fundamental flaws which stand in the way of them being a good leader.


Do you want Hillary to have a successful presidency, or don't you?

[JVV]

We're here talking about Hillary name-calling instead of whatever point it was that she wanted to make.

THAT is what comes of would-be leaders indulging in name-calling instead of disciplining themselves to deliver their message in a professional way.

[JVV]

.... still pissed off at Hillary for throwing this away ....

... and at all the people who thought it was a good idea to insult one quarter of America and still think you'd be getting votes from enough of those people's friends and families to push her across the line .....
