completely right, it's just too bad she said it

Trump supporters =/= Trump voters and yes she was correct.
---

Was she right when she said Dhanald wouldn't be president

Correct or not, she shouldn't have said it out loud

She just tells it like it is!!!

obviously some of them are, but you could say the same about any group of people
not sure if half of them are though, and regardless she was an idiot for saying it

Hate me too, I can't wait for Ginsburg to die and the court to be locked down by conservatives for the forseeable future.

This one certainly is

No. Most Trump supporters are good people.
---

Yes.
---

Most of them

The rest are pretty close
---

Some, I assume are good people
---

She never said Trump supporters are deplorable. She said the alt-right is deplorable. Which they are.
---

---

She was right about a lot of things.

She said half of them. Honestly I think she was being nice. It looks more like two thirds.

She sank to Trump's level with that comment.
---

Indeed she was, but she underestimated it big time. There are no decent humans that support Trump. Anyone who does has some major, noticeable flaw that prevents them from being a good person.
---

Not all of them. Just the ones that

A. are Nazis/KKK/white supremacist
B. try to downplay the actions of the above groups
C. make constant excuses for what Trump says and does

I know there are only 60 days left to make our case — and don't get complacent, don't see the latest outrageous, offensive, inappropriate comment and think well he's done this time. We are living in a volatile political environment. You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? (Laughter/applause)

The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it. And unfortunately, there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people — now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks — they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America. But the other basket — and I know this because I see friends from all over America here — I see friends from Florida and Georgia and South Carolina and Texas — as well as, you know, New York and California — but 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. It doesn't really even matter where it comes from. They don't buy everything he says, but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different. They won't wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroin, feel like they're in a dead-end. Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well.

Is there anyone, even Trump supporters, who don't agree that David Duke is in the basket of deplorables?

She was just projecting.

How can someone even make that statement with a straight face when her supporters are the ones rioting and looting all the time?

The full quote, in context, is completely correct.

I think all die-hard political candidate supporters/followers are deplorable.
