Dream On: HuffPo’s Stein Says ‘Deplorables’ Can Work to Hillary’s Advantage
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/13/2016 11:28:21 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

As liberal pundits go, I find Sam Stein among the least objectionable—a low bar to be sure. The HuffPo editor has a streak of fairness to him. But on today’s Morning Joe, Stein served up some absurd spin on Hillary’s “basket of deplorables.”

“Deplorables,” according to Stein, in a way “does work to her advantage.” Why? Because some moderate Republicans will “look at this division between the deplorables and the non-deplorables . . . and do say to themselves: do I want to be part of that?” A kind of snob appeal, Sam? Don’t think so, and even Joe Scarborough, who continued his attacks on Trump throughout the show dismissed the notion, saying “you don’t win voters by calling other voters irredeemable.”

Notsurprised that Huffington Post considers patriotism “deplorable”

Even Joe Scarborough, who is in the tank for Hillary, knows a loser when he sees one.

It was a damaging gaffe and thankfully, Joe Stein is a moron.

Pence should have thrown this back in their faces. The KKK gave Hillary 20k. She didn’t return the donation. Based on that it is safe to say she doesn’t think the KKK is deplorable.

Does Hillary hate blacks?

Then show the picture of her and Robert Byrd.

She should start calling us “human weeds,” like her idol Margaret Sanger called another population group.

How can vetted prepared remarks delivered to two audiences be a gaffe?

“stand up Chuck” was a gaffe

How many people are so isolated that they believe outside of their backyards lurks a country of 25% - 47% KKK or similar ‘deplorable’ people?

This is exactly the strategy Hillary should continue to use. She should express even more smug contempt. Its a win win for everybody. The country will win the election, and she will win some time to recoup her health.

The DNC must have decided to run with that since all the usual suspects are parroting it.

The Deplorable comment backfired massively.

Shirts were out almost the next day, and they’re selling like hot-cakes.

It makes Clinton look like a buffoon.

This election season the public is saying F U to politics as usual. They will not be deterred.

Trump.

Count up the populations of the major cities, and you have your answer.

Love the chyron, strawman city. Then again its HuffPo. Oh the smell of their defeat is wafting up their smug SJW noses, they smell it like we did in 2008. Humiliating night coming for Hillary, if she even makes it to November. Keep it up guys, turn everything into a meme. Do our work for us, you smug jackasses, you’ll hear from us election day!

It is really pathetic the way these clowns keep lying. Duke has never endorsed Trump.

Hard to make something that has turned into a cute meme back into something nasty.

Scarborough recognized HRC’s remark as a big mistake.

He said Hillary created a real “community”, among TRUMP supporters, and to prove his point, cut to a clip of three Anglo women sporting tee shirts with “DEPLORABLE” across the front.

It was probably code to show the three tees worn by whites only, because the KKK media meme against Trump supporters is in full swing.

The Dems are furious that he dared to enter into and visit Black America, in Detroit of all places.

I bought one this morning. They are all over Amazon in all colors and sayings about “I’m proud to be a Deplorable.”

Wonder if Bezos feels a little grief over that, since he is a despicable Shillary supporter.

It’s such a hoot to watch these things backfire on them.

Good for you. Enjoy the shirt...

Joe has since tweeted this sentiment that it will work for them to open a discussion on the horrible Trump supporters. My response was they were spinning so fast they may all fall down.
