Basket Of Deplorables Or A Big Ol' Can Of Whoop Ass? Hillary's Latest Step On The Poop Pile.

Oh, Hillary. On top of all the boat anchors you have chained up to your campaign you just couldn't resist adding one more. But Holy Moly could you have served up as big a beauty as the one you tossed us last week? Bless you. And people wonder why you can't seem to put away the worst opposing candidate that the GOP could have possibly nominated to run against you.

To coin your hubby's phrase, I feel your pain H. You must have been salivating at the thought of Republicans ending up with Trump on the ballot. And he's neck and neck with you (or beating you) in the latest polls.

Tee hee hee.

You were already battling huge untrustworthy numbers and with good reason. Nobody in their right mind would take you at your word for anything. Everything you do is shrouded in cloak after cloak after cloak of secrecy because for the most part the things that you do are illegal or immoral. 

Then when the word gets out, the lies are concocted, spin is introduced, and things go downhill from there.

Your Clinton Foundation is the gift that keeps on giving as more and more information leaks about the revolving door of corruption and influence peddling that went hand in hand between the Foundation and your State Department.

Next, there's the email server. You thought that you could take a bunch of hammers, bleach, magnets, and other things to destroy your secret cache of incriminating documentation but it was not to be. And now we're just waiting for Julian Assange to blow a hole the size of the Titanic iceberg in your campaign ship once he releases the emails you thought you destroyed. 

It will make what Assange did to Debbie Wasserman Schultz look like a tea party, pardon the pun.

And to top it all off we now have you stumbling, bumbling, fumbling, collapsing, fainting, and coughing while your doctors do whatever they can to spin the episodes. 

You "overheated"... on an 82 degree morning with 35% humidity? And you go to Chelsea's pad rather than a hospital for IV fluids?

You have allergies...when allergy season is nowhere in sight? 

You have pneumonia....but you're interacting with people on a daily basis while contagious?

Something's not physically right with you, girlfriend. And until your medical records are made public we won't really know the true nature or extent. I know that unless Assange has some of those up his sleeve we'll probably never see your records but as the campaign progresses we may see additional incidents that will shed more light into your physical conditions and your limitations. And we can speculate, conjecture, and imagine. Sometimes, in politics, that can be just as good as having the facts. 

And then, be still my heart, you decided to take it up a notch last week and added another ball and chain to your campaign. Time will tell, but I suspect that when you called out 25% or so of the American public and said that they were nothing but a despicable "basket of deplorables", and that they are "irredeemable", you've given voters a very interesting insight into how you view a very large segment of Americans - and not in a good way.

I'm referring of course to the comment you made late last week during a fundraiser. In what I guess was a feeble attempt to throw some red meat out to your band of self absorbed, sanctimonious donors, you said this:

"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 offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric."

"Now some of those folks, they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America."

Maybe it was the allergy medication or antibiotics talking. Who knows. But since you and Trump are essentially tied with approximately 45% of voters supporting each of you, that means you just insulted and alienated a good 25% of the voting public.

That's a lot of people. And bless your heart you obviously think they're scum. Beneath contempt. No redeeming qualities of any kind. Just because they'd rather pull the lever for someone who is arguably an egomaniacal, spray tanned opportunist instead of a lying, morally bankrupt, conniving, incompetent weasel like you.

Apparently, that Trumps you any day of the week, H.

And now that you've realized what a huge (yuge?) gaffe you've committed, you're working feverishly to surgically remove your foot from your mouth and apologize for having called 25% of the voting public a bunch of racist, ignorant dweebs. 

And here I thought love was never having to say you're sorry.

But when you think about it, it's only fitting that you should try to put that big ol' horse back in the barn. I mean, after all, aren't you  the one who despises making generalities about people? You know, the one who always talks about taking the high road and never, ever, resorting to name calling or insulting every day Americans?

If you remember, right after The Donald returned from his trip to Mexico, you said:

“You can’t make up for...insults by dropping in on our neighbours for a few hours and flying home again. That’s not how it works. I know some of you have never voted for a Democrat before; I get that. My dad was a Rockefeller Republican, but I learned at our dinner table that we can disagree without being disagreeable.”

So true, H. You can't insult 25% of the voters and make up for it with a dozen roses and an "I'm Sorry" Hallmark card. Plus, you called out millions and millions of voters in what I can only describe as a very disagreeable fashion. Not exactly what I would call a Kumbaya moment for you, Hill.

But that's just me. One of the many in Trump's basket of deplorables. Irredeemable. Except I'm not homophobic. I'm not sexist. I'm not a racist or a xenophobe. After all, I'm one of those people of color we keep hearing about, and an immigrant to boot. I'm not any of your phobes.

OK, I do have an issue with people who pervert a religion and are trying their best to kill us in the name of that religion.  Unfortunately it happens to be Islam. However, my concern is only directed at the radical, perverted faction of Islam, not all Muslims. And we can agree to disagree as to what to do about it.

Unlike you, I don't see anything wrong with calling a radical Islamic murderer what he or she is. Nor do I see anything wrong with having suspicions about a person until I know they are not a threat to me or my family. It's not Icelandic Lutherans that are trying to kill us and if it were I'd look them a little differently.

Since we're talking about phobes you may want to consider that there are many people who are graftphobes. Corruptionphobes. Deceitphobes. Pay-for-playphobes. 

That's who's in Trump's "basket", Hillary. Along with a bunch of other people who would rather gnaw off their arm rather than vote for you. 

And come November, you're going to see just how many there are of us.  Boy are you going to be in for a surprise.
