She really said that only saying "half" was wrong. So Hillary thinks that there is a segment of Trump supporters who are racist and stuff, it just isn't 50%. And she's right, it's much more than that.

Yes. It could and should put another nail in her coffin.

She is a despicable human being that has no business running a campaign that degenerates good taxpaying Americans.

So, I guess good, taxpaying Americans are "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it." That's who she was talking about - racists, sexists, xenophobes. You know, "good" Americans.

If you want to know more about what she said about the other half:

Yes. She insulted millions of hardworking, educated, Americans and veterans.

So those people are bigots?

Well, Clinton only left two choices: bigots or desperate losers.

In the other half of her statement, she said:
“That 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.”

She left no room for people who support Trump because just don't like or trust her, no room for people who think the government is too big and she'd only make it bigger, no room for people who are opposed to the type of liberal Supreme Court justices she'd choose, etc.  If you support Trump, you're either a bigot or a loser.  Take your pick.

Clinton's remarks might work well on this website, where many red avatars think Trump supporters should be hung for treason (or something like that), anyway, but won't sit well with the American public.  You don't attack all of your opponent's supporters.  That's not fair game.

If thats how you'd like to interpret it.

If Republicans are smart, that's how the comments will be spun, not as an insult to half, but an insult to all.

Conveniently ignoring:

I have you on ignore, but I saw this quoted and I just want to ask, what are you trying to say? Because whatever it is, it probably won't be good.

As I said: just don't generalize [without going deeper].

And what is your explanation for the high murder rates among blacks?

At least half of Trump's supporters are racist so I am not sure what is so controversial about this statement. About half of Republicans supported him in the primary when they had other choices. I can understand there are many Republicans who can't support Clinton but they are in the other category. At least half of the people supporting Trump are racists who just want their country back from the non-whites. Great Americans, they are. Anyone who isn't white isn't really American.
And you know this how?



According to polls, at least half of Trump supporters think Obama is a foreign-born Muslim.
