Are these not deplorables?
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

I meant that David French must be enjoying the utter destruction he is seeing now, after all this time of deplorables torturing him. The karma remark is for them: They have done horrible things, well outside norms of political disagreement. (Like creating and sending him images of his daughter in a gas chamber.) Now they get to suffer total humiliation as they share in their chosen one's defeat in a landslide. And Trump takes down most Republicans with him. Divine justice.

I don't understand why broadcast hosts allow Trump surrogates to say anything about deplorables and not ask if they believe bigotry of any kind is deplorable. there can be only one answer. once they agree the only question remaining is whether any of Mr Trumps supporters are a bigots. and that answer is clearly yes (just watch the videos of them in action)
ignorance is the enemy
without equality there is no liberty
Save America - Lock Trump Up!!!!

I agree, rp. I saw somewhere that Hillary's estimate was about right - half of Trump's supporters are deplorable (Hillary's were harder to pin down, but we're around maybe, generously 10% - because the most radical don't support her either). Trolling is infinitely more prevalent on the right, and much more virulent.

I saw somewhere that Hillary's estimate was about right - half of Trump's supporters are deplorable My experience is that it's far less than half. However, they do exist and that is what's important, and I find it impossible to separate them from candidate Trump himself. I think most of them latched onto Trump when he made his initial comments about Mexicans. This was not just because they oppose illegal immigration. I myself oppose illegal immigration. It's because they hate Mexicans. They also want all Muslims deported. I've seen these people in action myself. If you want details, please PM me.

It's because they hate Mexicans. That's exactly when it happened according to Mother Jones:The first warning sign that something new was brewing came in June 2015, as Donald Trump joined the crowded field vying for the Republican presidential nomination. In the extravagant lobby of Trump Tower in New York City, he announced he would build a wall to keep out Mexican criminals and "rapists." ...and White Nationalists and Supremacists have glommed onto Donald Trump ever since.
