What proportion of Americans are in the so-called 'basket of deplorables?'

[SingingAnalyst]

If they are:

- White that's a majority, right there--a huge majority in many states, mostly red states, but VT too
- Southern OK, by birth or choice, 37%
- Heterosexual 90%. Already we're up well over 100% deplorable
- Cisgendered
- Male 50.01% of Americans 69 and younger
- Stay at Home Mom
- Rural
- Conservative
- Libertarian so Tonie Nathan, first woman to receive an EV in '72 was deplorable
- Moderate Republican so was MI Gov. William Milliken
- Voted for anyone other than Hillary Clinton in 2016 Look out, Jill Stein voters and Socialist Workers party voters!
- Evangelical Like Jimmy Carter in '76
- Catholic who let these people in, anyway, over the objections of the KKK and Republicans like James Blaine in the 1870s-- and who were Al Smith and JFK to think they could be President? Or Joe Biden?
- Traditionalist
- Have more than 2 children
- If they homeschool I know Lefties who homeschooled
- If they pray lots of Black people not only pray, but say "Have a blessed day"--that must count double
- Pro-Life
- Value the sanctity of marriage
- Gunowners
- Don’t watch CNN I prefer NPR, myself
- Drive SUV’s or pickup trucks
- Own lots of land
- Go hunting
- Don’t want their children to be injected with mind-altering hormones Again, a standard Green/Leftie position

They’re deplorable. So as you can see, lots of people.

Excellent analysis, which explains why counties that gave the Park Ridge Republican less than 30% of the vote cover most of America's land.

Anyone who still intends to vote for Trump next year.  

[TarHeelDem]

538 has Trump's average approval rating at 41.6%.

There's your answer.

I'd be curious to know why you think the probably that a non-Trump supporter is a "deplorable" is absolutely zero.

0. Painting those who won't vote for you as evil is part of what cost Hillary Clinton the election.

But Donald Trump did the exact same thing, if not worse.

LOL. Elections are random and Hillary losing had nothing to do with that comment.

Elections aren't random. Candidate quality matters. Hillary Clinton was a poor candidate who galvanized Trump's voters by calling them deplorable. (And didn't make any post-primary visits to Wisconsin - but that's a different topic). She had plenty to lose with that comment - increasing turnout from the other side and turning off voters.

I wear the term deplorable as a badge of honor!
I proudly support President Trump because I'm pro Gun,anti Abortion,anti illegal immigration,for lower Taxes,I want far less Government & I oppose all this stupid wars.

I can't wait for the liberal tears again next year!
