LOSERS!  That’s what Hillybob thinks of 1/2 of the American population. Over 162 million of you are losers in her book.

Her words, “You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the ‘basket of deplorables.’ Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it.”  That would currently be about 1/4 of the population of the United States of America, by golly.

She went on to say, “But the other basket … feel that the government has let them down”.  The other half in her book are those that who “feel that” they have been disenfranchised and marginalized by the government.

Let’s examine the wording closely, and we should as she’s a trained Yale lawyer (also accepted at Harvard) who is an expert in the use of words.  She says that the “other basket” contains the other quarter of the population whom just “feel” let down.  NOTICE, that she did not say they “have been let down by the government”.  Hillybob implies that they ARE NOT in fact LET DOWN BY GOVERNMENT.  It’s only an idea in their little pea brains.  Once again in her book, another quarter of the US population is too stupid to realize what a great job big government is doing for (to?) them.

And then on to her apology, 17 hours later, “Last night I was grossly generalistic and that’s never a good idea. I regret saying ‘half.  That was wrong,” .

Once again, let us examine the words spoken.  She DID NOT say that the SUBSTANCE of what she said was wrong.   in her “apology”, she only states that the estimated quantity of “deplorable” people in the “basket” was wrong.  Was she thinking the number should be 3/4, 7/8, all?

What sort of a half-assed apology was that?!?!?

She should have framed her apology to express WHAT SHE REALLY THINKS,

“I’m sorry that 162 million or more of you are a bunch of STUPID RACIST LOSERS!”.
