    Big mistake on Hillary's part. I am actually surprised because I thought she was a better politician than this. Even Bill screwed up by saying "Make America Great Again" was a racist slogan.

    They should look to Marco Rubio’s mistake of trying to out-Trump, Trump. It did not work.If you are an establishment politician you cannot get away with saying such things. Geez, this is elementary. People support establishment politicians in part because it is what they are used to. They cannot step out of their box. The only exception I can think of is Joe Biden. People have came to expect gaffes from him but not Hillary.

    Had this not been on video she would have denied ever saying it.

    You noticed there wasn't any apology there wasn't any I'm sorry for offending 70 million Americans just a regret
    there are many people in prison that regret being in prison but aren't sorry no apology for committing the crime that put them there

    Guess it could be worse. Trump would deny saying it even if it was on video.

    Too little and way too late...that is what people will remember. Americans don't care if some Dallas newspaper isn't endorsing Trump or whether Republican politicians are or aren't endorsing him. They don't care about Hillary's ads or how much she spends. Americans are fed up with the status quo of the last 8 corrupt years. Hillary was a big part of it and was a bumbling Secretary of State who promises to be the second coming of Obama. People have made up their minds as to whom they will cast their vote or whether they will vote at all. Hillary has more baggage that all the airports combined.MOD EDIT>>>FLAME BAIT>>> It is up to the silent majority to get out and make their vote count. It is time for change...

    The thing is it is so amateuristic. Think of it, Bill and Hillary Clinton are two of the best politicians in modern times. Proof: Hillary has been leading in the polls despite getting away with much corruption. Bill is just as corrupt and is thought of as a great president..... who are they listening to? It is as if James Carville is taking debating advice from some of these lefties on the Internet who do not have a clue about how to debate!

    I am surprised at the latest gaffes by the Clintons this close to the election.

    Trump should lay back and let Hills keep inserting her big feet into her very large mouth...

    I know the more they up her meds the crazier she looks. All Trump needs to do is don't go on Oprah or late night shows.


    Edit: Is Oprah even on anymore?

    ....and he would be given a free pass. He is not a politician and can get away with it, Hillary is a seasoned politician who should know better. With this single statement she has made herself look unpresidential and polarizing to independents while motivating the Republican base to come out and vote.

    She is punching down with this name calling and insulting people who do not agree with her politically.....bad move.

    - - - Updated - - -

    She has set the bar so low for Trump all he needs to do in the debates is show up.

    - - - Updated - - -

    She is up to her Cankles on this one. And what is up with Bill? He is losing it also. First yelling at the BLM folks and now the racist claims.....

    I think we just saw Hillary's own 47% jump the shark moment.

    Actually she said she regrets saying half. Just like the progs on this forum defending her she quibbles solely about the exact number of Americans she considers deplorable.
    She still finds a good portion of Americans deplorable just not quite as many as first stated.
    That's not an apology. That's just a verbal runaround to allow the press to say she apologized.
    Definitely following in Obamas footsteps of hate and divide.

    As I posted in any other thread Hillary is being stupid by trying to fight in the gutter with Trump. Trump owns the gutter he invented the gutter.

    She wasn't wrong about what she pointed out, she was just wrong for pointing it out.

    agreed, i thought it was a blunder the second i saw it also - seeing her apologize is kind of weak but probably necessary

    The kind of stupid non-PC remark that Trump makes 100 times a day (without consequences).

    Hillary does it once and it's major news.

    Pathetic double standard.

    She shouldn't apologize. Half of those Donald Trump supporters really are deplorable people. Self-centered, racist, bigoted, sexist, ignoramuses.

    If not deplorable, then extremely stupid.

    Let's face it. With or without the gutter, Hills is stupid. But she and Bill are really lowlife.

    Once again?

    The utterly ABSURD number of 70 million?

    Making up imaginary numbers is what the ARNJ echo chamber has been reduced to?

    Fabricating an utterly RIDICULOUS number?

    Romney got less than 61 million votes in 2012, but "half" of Trump's supporters equals 70 million? :roflol:

    Are you forming a SuperPAC "Hillbilly Babies for Trump"?

    Obviously, you have no intent of being taken seriously at this forum.

    Happy Trolling. 70 million? :roflol:

    So now she denies she really meant it.

    The facts are for the past year Hillary, her campaign, her supporters, George Soros and Barack Obama has been attacking Trump supporters and any American who supports the rule of law and don't support political correctness and globalization. They might be that American silent majority that the left are in fear of.

    You must be subscribed to Trumpmath™.

    I had no idea Trump had 140 million supporters. Did he tell you that?

    I find it hilarious that people on the left say Trump supporters are all the things Hillary said they were, but now all of the sudden, it's just a small minority and "not all trump supporters".

    The double standard is that EVERYTIME Trump says something questionable it makes headline news.

    Welcome to his world, Killery.

    If I said the same thing about immigrants being rapists, you'd be screaming racist at the top of your lungs.

    I see your true colors are showing, and as predicted, it's full of hate and contempt.
