Not being one who understands politics all that well, I don't know how individual remarks like that influence a vote.And, ladies and gentlemen, a vivid example of why so many people were fed up and voted in Trump.It is the archaic Electoral College that skewed the results in favor of small town America and its uneducated, low information, religious gun nuts who completely lack critical thinking skills.
.
Even Democrats have admitted Hil-Liars most damaging comment was the Basket of Deplorables. That one comment alone probably cost her the election. Democrats don't understand that you can't insult Americans by the tens of millions and expect people to support them. It shows you just how out of touch the Democrat party is with Americans today.
But yeah, that wasn't brilliant.
.
Even if you don't have a party that you support, you may have some conservative beliefs and perhaps some liberal beliefs.
Say you strongly believe in the right to own and carry firearms, you're in that basket of deplorables.
Or you strongly dislike the idea that weirdos in dresses will be in your daughters bathroom and shower at school, you're in the basket of deplorables.
Or maybe you are against forced gay marriage on the states, you're in that basket of deplorables.
So her comment offended a lot more than just Republican voters, because even some liberals have conservative views of things.
If you disagree with Democrats on just about any issue, you're in that basket of deplorables.
Man....do you people ever need a safe space or what? You politically correct ninnies haven't recovered from being called deplorable months ago.
I'm pretty sure that that gaffe hurt Clinton more than most believe. It didn't spell her demise...but you easily offended pansies will be whining about that one for a long time.
