[Warlord23]

Among people with a favorable opinion of Trump, 65% think Obama is a Muslim and 59% think he was born in Kenya.

She was being generous when she said half of Chump voters are "deplorables".

Exactly what I said on the Trump thread. In terms of insulting this is like rated PG. I would have gone further.

[Winehole23]

if half of Trump's supporters belong in the basket of deplorables according to HRC, and, as Hater stipulates, that number is 49% of the electorate, we can extrapolate the level of Donald Trump's support -- 98% of Americans.

In what world do you live in that Trump is getting 49% support? Polls dont show that. Facts dont show that.

[DPG21920]

But doesn't she have to govern those deplorables? Isn't she supposed to care about them just as much as everyone else? Isn't her campaign about bringing people together and not dividing? I hate Trump, but this goes to show you just how bad Hilary is as well. This might be the worst election in the history of the USA.

seems you've overdrawn the picture, Hater. you spoil your own posts by stretching words and facts too far.

[hater]

49% is the figure Romney used we know roughly 49% are Republicans or leaning Republican. They are NOT voting for ShillAdolph, which makes them Trump supporters by reason of elimination.

She just insulted all of them and most likely alienated another large % just like Romney did last time

Hater left easy points unscored. This was HRC's bitter/cling to moment.

[DarrinS]

Meh, she's not the first to say this. If her base believes this, and they do, then this won't hurt her.

[CosmicCowboy]

It was humorous that the day before she was claiming that she would be the great uniter and then turns around and calls people that aren't voting for her deplorable.

[Winehole23]

[Reck]

It was humorous that the day before she was claiming that she would be the great uniter and then turns around and calls people that aren't voting for her deplorable.

Is not really off base. It's actually based on polling.

As winehole pointed out earlier, most of Trump supporters think Obama is a foreigner and a muslim. That defines deploration.

Also, another poll says that:


Nearly half of Trump's supporters described African Americans as more "violent" than whites. The same proportion described African Americans as more "criminal" than whites, while 40 percent described them as more "lazy" than whites.


To be sure, not all Trump supporters expressed negative attitudes about blacks. No more than 50 percent of his supporters rated blacks negatively, relative to whites, on any of the six character traits in the poll.


Yet when their answers to the poll questions were compared with responses from supporters of other candidates, Trump supporters were always more critical of blacks on personality traits, analysis of the results showed.



Not only is that racist, it is also...deplorable.

So there are polls to back her claim if she wants to go that route.

[Winehole23]

It was humorous that the day before she was claiming that she would be the great uniter and then turns around and calls people that aren't voting for her deplorable.HRC's point was that Trump attracts and encourages deplorables, which she puts at a ratio of one half of his support. that's probably a slight overstatement, but it's not as much of one as suggesting -- like you and Hater do -- that HRC is kicking all of Trump's supporters into the same ditch and spitting on them.

[Winehole23]

CC and Hater can't help it. Political passion causes them to torture the words and and the facts until they say whatever they had in mind to begin with.

It's kind of sad. They leave a lot of easy points on the table urging their own outlandish distortions.

Bishop Gekko was trashing people who were poor, disabled, non-white, etc, not by choice.

Hillary is trashing people, including many Spurs Talkers, who choose freely to be stupid, ignorant, willfully conned. They are deplorable, but they are marginal and ignorable.

"Clinton said half of Trump supporters are racist, sexist, homophobic or Islamophobic."

Absolutely true, and Trash supporters don't deny it. They're happy and proud to br "racist, sexist, homophobic or Islamophobic"

Barry was also right about rurals, bubbas, Christian Taliban, gun fellators clinging bitterly to their dick-guns and Bibles.

By definition it's believing your race and skin color is genetically superior to others race and skin color.

by that definition there might be 5% of the population that is racist.

Believing that blacks are statistically prone to more violence and crime than other races and skin colors is a statistical fact. The fact that it is a cultural difference and not a genetic difference is huge however. Accepting that as fact doesn't automatically make you a racist.

There are plenty of examples of white trash and plenty of examples of exceptional blacks and others of color that defy the classic racial stereotype.

[Trill Clinton]

"Much like Trump’s alleged opposition to the Iraq War, this not an impossible claim to investigate. We know, for instance, some nearly 60 percent of Trump’s supportershold “unfavorable views” of Islam (http://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/rngs/USA-ELECTION-MUSLIM/010020T8209/USA-ELECTION-MUSLIM.jpg), and 76 percent support a ban on Muslims entering the United States (https://texaspolitics.utexas.edu/set/banning-muslims-entering-us-june-2016#party-id). We know that some 40 percent (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-race-idUSKCN0ZE2SW) of Trump’s supporters believe blacks are more violent, more criminal, lazier, and ruder than whites. Two-thirds of Trump’s supporters believe the first black president in this country’s history is not American (http://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/poll-two-thirds-trump-supporters-think-obama-muslim). These claim are not ancillary to Donald Trump’s candidacy, they are a driving force behind it (http://www.vox.com/2016/6/2/11833548/donald-trump-support-race-religion-economy).

When Hillary Clinton claims that half of Trump’s supporters qualify as “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic,” data is on her side. One could certainly argue that determining the truth of a candidate’s claims is not a political reporter’s role. But this is not a standard that political reporters actually adhere to."

Lol semen shielding and calling everyone a racist when white people vote their pocketbooks. This is not new, it has been happening and will continue happening in every democratically run country as long as people use currency. That is what most BLM and the PC victim class sincerely need to understand: demographics split along income. If income inequality was altered, everything else would be, as well. If all of a sudden, the 13% (Black America) controlled half the wealth in this country, it would not be 30 years before white people were being murdered in the streets at far higher rates, being discriminated against in the courts, be filling up prisons far faster , etc. This country has racists, sure. But the system is biased towards wealth and wealth accumulation.

[MannyIsGod]

Romney is/was a terrible candidate. You just don't think so because he's not running. The entire crop of GOP candidates couldn't beat the worst candidate of all time, so when people say X would have beaten Clinton easily, it's pretty laughable considering that they couldn't even beat Trump. Maybe they would beat her, but it sure as hell would be close and not some open and shut case like some have tried to paint it as. Doing so ignores that how many people will vote for their nominee regardless of what they say or do. The current race should not be close (and electorally its not), but we have a 3-4 point popular vote margin currently.

In any event, compare this to the 47% gaffe all you want. Romney was being critical of people being poor, Hilary is being critical of people being racist, xenophobic, Islamophobic, and misogynistic. And if anything, Clinton's 1/2 estimate was low. You need look no further than poll numbers showing that around half or more of Trump supporters have negative views toward blacks, immigrants, and Muslilms.

Romney is/was a terrible candidate. You just don't think so because he's not running. The entire crop of GOP candidates couldn't beat the worst candidate of all time, so when people say X would have beaten Clinton easily, it's pretty laughable considering that they couldn't even beat Trump. Maybe they would beat her, but it sure as hell would be close and not some open and shut case like some have tried to paint it as. Doing so ignores that how many people will vote for their nominee regardless of what they say or do. The current race should not be close (and electorally its not), but we have a 3-4 point popular vote margin currently.

In any event, compare this to the 47% gaffe all you want. Romney was being critical of people being poor, Hilary is being critical of people being racist, xenophobic, Islamophobic, and misogynistic. And if anything, Clinton's 1/2 estimate was low. You need look no further than poll numbers showing that around half or more of Trump supporters have negative views toward blacks, immigrants, and Muslilms. People can act outraged all she wants, but the facts are there. She's not the one appealing to the alt right and forgoing dog whistles for outright racist remarks.

Had it not been for his fuckups selecting Ryan and spouting teabagger rhetoric to shore up a voting bloc he had already locked up Romney would have had a real chance to beat Obama in 2012. And Hillary is no Obama by any stretch of the imagination, she is rightfully known as a war hawk in the pockets of the criminals who crashed our economy 8 years ago and her negatives reflect that people know it. I imagine Romney will run in 2020 and have a great case to get the nomination by pointing to how much damage Trump has done to the GOP brand. Unless the economy really starts growing under Clinton she is going to be extremely vulnerable to someone like Romney who could get crossover appeal, and Romney was a guy who got elected governor in deep blue Massachusetts.

But who knows with theses silly counterfactuals -- they're not testable.

The general election electorate is not a static thing, though. We've seen more this year than in any other that there are segments of society that can be motivated to participate by different candidates. What I mean to say is that the GOP electorate in 2016 is substantially different in the general election (and in the primary) than 2012. Primaries are indeed different than general elections for many reason, but none of the "mainstream" GOP candidates possessed enough savy to get out of each others way and the RNC didn't posses enough power as a party to actually control its own destiny. For these same candidates to be considered favorites, we'd have to forget that they can't build coalitions among their own support base and that they couldn't even get out of each others way. There's definitely a wave of white nationalism which has helped Trump, but a large part of his success is built upon the malpractice of the RNC and its members in terms of acting as a functioning political party.

Clinton gets sold short quite often because people point out her problems. She's not well liked, she's had plenty of scandals (legit or not), and she's so secretive. Another perspective is one that takes note that its pretty amazing she's succeeded in spite of this.

[boutons_deux]

Actually, many Trump voters are in one basket and it’s both racist and economically frustrated
What Hillary got wrong in her controversial "basket of deplorables" slam of Trump voters
was also obviously true: many Donald Trump supporters are motivated by racism.

“Just to be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables,”

“They’re racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it…But the other basket…of people are people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they’re just desperate for change…Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well.”

Clinton was wrong to divide Trump voters between the bigoted and economically anxious because many are both, and the two things are interrelated.

Trump is getting a lot of support from professional racists on the white supremacist and alt-right, and reducing his base of support to any single constituency is a fool’s errand. But for many Trump voters, anger and anxiety over economic decline and precarity, the rising status of women and people of color, demographic change caused by immigration, and the country’s waning global power (http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/05/11/trump-supporters-differ-from-other-gop-voters-on-foreign-policy-immigration-issues/)after more than a decade of costly and futile global warfare, are all wrapped into one big sense of foreboding terror.

the intersection of exploitative economics and white supremacy certainly isn’t: white economic anxiety is used to foment racism, and racism is manipulated to further elite economic interests.

America’s racial caste system has long been perpetuated by “appealing to the racism and vulnerability of lower-class whites, a group of people who are understandably eager to ensure that they never find themselves trapped at the bottom of the American totem pole.”

“Beginning in the 1970s, conservatives deployed a highly racialized strategy that relentlessly linked public institutions to undeserving minorities in order to undo the country’s social contract,” Haney-López and McGhee continue. “The reactionary economic agenda made possible by dog-whistle politics is responsible not just for the devaluing of black lives but for the declining fortunes of the majority of white families.”

America’s racial caste system depends on white supremacy to ensure white privileges and oligarchic prerogatives. And so Clinton is right: we should understand and empathize with many Trump voters. Not because establishment liberalism has much to offer them but because their problems are bound up with those of the people who they hate.

[boutons_deux]

Trash's wishful thinking, but he's WRONG as always

What Donald Trump considers ‘the biggest mistake’ of 2016

he Trump campaign, looking for any kind of opportunity to change the trajectory of the race, quickly put together this 30-second commercial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gj7CLJbyjrk), highlighting Clinton’s comments. The Republican ticket will reportedly invest $2 million (https://twitter.com/sahilkapur/status/775346751989542913) in support of the ad, which is scheduled to air in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, and North Carolina.

And if Clinton’s camp had its way, Team Trump would probably invest even more – because this is a fight the Democratic campaign would love to have.

For Trump, there’s no real upside to this fight.

Most Americans already see him (https://twitter.com/mmurraypolitics/status/775337400260259840) as a racist and a misogynist, who’s gotten ahead thanks to the support of other racists and misogynists.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), frustrated over Trump’s rise in GOP politics, argued earlier this year that

35% of his party is made up of racists (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/lindsey-graham-35-percent-of-gop-is-racist/article/2586780) – an observation that much of the political world found so unremarkable, it was largely ignored.

There’s probably room for a debate over whether the most accurate total is somewhere between 35% and 50%, but it’s hard to imagine a scenario in which Trump would benefit from such a discussion.

In fact, the Washington Post’s Greg Sargent, among (http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2016/09/here-latest-campaign-faux-controversy) others (http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/09/yes-most-donald-trump-supporters-are-deplorable.html), highlighted (https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2016/09/10/spare-me-the-phony-outrage-over-clintons-basket-of-deplorables-remark/) ample polling data over the weekend that suggests

Clinton’s criticisms are rooted in fact – a detail the Trump campaign has made no effort thus far to dispute.

Does the Republican Party see an upside to re-litigating Trump’s previous comments that have alienated women, Latinos, African Americans, Muslims, veterans, people with disabilities, Native Americans, and Jews?

Anti-Gay, Anti-Catholic, Anti-Mormon Pastor Accuses Hillary Clinton Of 'Hate Speech'

Hillary Clinton’s comments over the weekend about the “deplorables” who support Donald Trump have

resulted in some deliciously ironic criticism from Trump and some of his supporters.

Among the Trump supporters slamming Clinton was Robert Jeffress, a pastor with a long record of anti-gay, anti-Mormon and anti-Catholic rhetoric, who accused Clinton of “hate speech” and “intolerance.”

“I tell you, it reveals the hypocrisy of liberalism, and that is liberals who cry loudest for tolerance are usually the most intolerant people in the world when it comes to ideas with which they disagree,” Jeffress told (http://www.mikeonline.com/pastor-robertjeffress-gives-mike-his-insight-on-the-johnson-amendment-which-trump-wants-to-repeal/) conservative radio host Mike Gallagher today.

“I mean, think about it, according to Clinton you’re a racist if you believe in secure borders, you’re xenophobic if you believe people ought to only be in this country legally and you’re homophobic if you believe in traditional marriage.

The fact is, Hillary Clinton is exhibit A of intolerance and her comments Friday were nothing but hate speech.”

Fox Business Invites On A Deplorable Hate Group Leader To Defend The "Basket Of Deplorables"

Fox Business’ Stuart Varney hosted Tony Perkins, a leader of a hate group who tried to make homosexuality punishable by death,

Perkins is the leader of the Family Research Council (http://mediamatters.org/people/family-research-council) (FRC), an organization the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has designated (https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2010/18-anti-gay-groups-and-their-propaganda) an anti-LGBT “hate group” due to its known propagation of extreme falsehoods about LGBT people.

Perkins used his platform on Varney’s show to try to flip the “deplorables” point -- in which Clinton was noting the racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic” views of many Trump supporters -- and attack the Clinton Foundation for receiving donations from countries where “those that are considered deplorable” can receive the death penalty.

But Varney failed to note that

Perkins is himself one of the driving forces behind such laws;

he and his group have lobbied to criminalize homosexuality internationally, and

they supported a bill in Uganda that would have made same-sex relations punishable by life in prison or death (http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/trump-cozying-activists-whove-supported-criminalizing-homosexuality).

The Fox Business interview also omits any mention of the

millions (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/exclusive-donald-trump-made-millions-saudi-government-article-1.2777211) Trump made from conducting business in Saudi Arabia -- one of the countries to which Perkins was alluding --

despite Trump’s attempts to smear the Clinton Foundation for accepting Saudi donations.

Yes, half of Trump supporters are racist

BALTIMORE — Hillary 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.

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.

The American National Election Studies, the long-running, extensive poll of American voters, asked voters in 2012 a basic test of prejudice: to rank black and white people on a scale from hardworking to lazy and from intelligent to unintelligent.

The researchers found that 62 percent of white people gave black people a lower score in at least one of the attributes.

This was a jump in prejudicial attitudes from 2008, when 45 percent of white people expressed negative stereotypes.

This question is a good indicator of how one votes: Republican Mitt Romney won 61 percent of those who expressed negative stereotypes.

And, when the question was asked during the 2008 primaries, those with negative racial stereotypes consistently favored Republican candidates — any of them — over any Democratic candidate in hypothetical matchups.

“There is plenty of overt white prejudice,” observes Simon Jackman, who directed the ANES until earlier this year and now runs the United States Studies Centre at the University of Sydney. “Whites who reported prejudicial beliefs about blacks skewed heavily Republican in 2008 and 2012 — and they will in 2016.”

for the large number of racists drawn to Trump, the shoe fits.

the Pew Research Center found that 79 percent of Clinton voters believe the treatment of racial and ethnic minorities is an important issue, while only 42 percent of Trump supporters feel that way.

As I wrote previously, earlier Pew research found that Trump supporters were significantly less likely than other Americans (and supporters of other Republican presidential candidates) to think that racial and ethnic diversity improves the United States.

Trump does best among Americans who express racial animus. Evidence indicates fear that white people are losing ground was the single greatest predictor of support for Trump — more, even, than economic anxiety.

If you are “very enthusiastic” about a candidate who has based his campaign on

scapegoating immigrants, Latinos and African Americans,

talked of banning Muslims from the country,

hesitated to disown the Ku Klux Klan and

employed anti-Semitic imagery —

well, you might be a racist.

The new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds the two groups roughly equal: Forty-six percent of Trump supporters say they are “very enthusiastic” about his candidacy. The rest were “somewhat” or not terribly enthusiastic.

Trump, on stage, rejected any notion of racism, saying people who want secure borders “are not racists,” people who warn of “radical Islamic terrorism are not Islamophobes” and people who support police “are not prejudiced.” But moments later, he repeated the campaign slogan he borrowed from an anti-Semitic organization that opposed involvement in World War II.

“America First – remember that,” he said. “America First.”

The problem is you fsggots have expanded the definition to include anything that disturbs your "safe space" whether it's true or not.

example:

Stating that blacks commit a disproportionate percentage of murders and crime is a fact. It's not a racist statement.

I don't think that is a racist statement. I do think a racist person may use that statement of fact in an effort to argue a point that is driven by racism.

Personally I think that the percentage of people that actually believe that superior/inferior is defined by skin pigment is extremely small, not nearly the 30-50% that is popularly quoted.

30-50% of the American population? That number is outlandish. Where is that popularly quoted?

one of our resident racists, CC, is justifying his racism by defining racism extremely narrowly, so he can congratulate himself by being outside of his bullshit definition.

For the 100th time. Racism is not only feeling superior. It's also not wanting other races to intermingle with yours and bullying, disrespecting them in streets, restaurants and other public areas.

Wake up sheeple

In past years, media consensus would look at recent polls and say "it's a tossup". This year, attitude is still "Clinton's got this".

[Trill Clinton]

its a sad day in san antonio, a multicultural city with a large military presence and a very big population of hispanic and african american soldiers who go overseas and fight for our freedoms and even sacrifice their lives for us, have to come back and deal with shit like this from their downtown businessmen.
