Typical Hillary shill. The Reuters poll he links to clearly shows that less than half of Trump’s supporters are deplorable.

“You know, it used to be to the victor belong the spoils”, Trump said.
He added that millions of Americans support the Republican nominee because, “they are sick of corrupt career politicians like Hillary Clinton”.
“I think it’s inarguable that Vladimir Putin has been a stronger leader in his country than Barack Obama has been in this country”, Indiana Governor and Trump Mike Pence said, echoing his running mate on Thursday. The campaign later said it did not realize Trump’s conversation with Larry King would air on RT, and that they would not have agreed to the interview had they known.
Clinton also repeated her comment that many of Trump’s supporters deserve empathy.
Trump on Clinton: “She could walk into this arena right now and shoot somebody. right smack in the heart and not be prosecuted”. “And she wouldn’t be prosecuted”.
Trump also took the opportunity to criticise the foreign diplomacy strategy of Clinton, who served as State Department secretary under the Obama administration.
“If they want to join us in knocking out ISIS, that’s just fine as far as I’m concerned”. “It’s like incredible”, he said. And unfortunately, there are people like that and he has lifted them up.
Still, one man has without a doubt consigned himself to the basket of deplorables, and that’s Trump himself, who vilifies undocumented immigrants and Muslims and Mexicans, mocks disabled people and has the widest misogynistic streak of any candidate in memory.
Clinton said Trump had given voice to hateful rhetoric through his behavior as a candidate for the White House in the Nov 8 election.
“RT if you agree: We need a President who is fighting for all Americans, not one who writes of almost half the country”, Obama tweeted in September of 2012. “As I said, many of Trump’s supporters are hard-working Americans who just don’t feel like the economy or our political system are working for them”. “How can she be president of our country when she has such contempt and disdain for so many great Americans?”
Mrs Clinton has made similar comments in the past. “I regret saying ‘half” – that was wrong”, Clinton said in a statement, the day after comments at a fundraiser in NY.
Clinton has sought to draw attention in recent weeks to Trump’s support from the so-called “alt-right” movement. “And their supporters appear to make up half his crowd, when you observe the tone of his events”. Tim Kaine (D-VA), said that Clinton did not need to apologize for her comments. “It sounds out of touch and condescending. trying to explain away Trump’s supporters to a NY money crowd”.

Donald Trump has said the 2016 general elections is the last chance for the Republican party to win presidential elections because undocumented migrants “legalised” under a Hillary Clinton presidency will give Democrats an electoral advantage in future elections. But reporters travelling with her campaign were not allowed in and did not see her.
