She rolled it back a little bit so her team probably thinks it was a mistake.It's also being portrayed negatively in the media.Thankfully Trump went off the cuff again talking about Hilliary shooting people which is also being portrayed negatively in the media.She was being honest but attacking voters directly might do more harm than good (Romney's 47 % / Obama's clinging to guns and religion etc).
Well I see we haven't gotten very far from where we left off. That video of Trump supporters is pretty funny. The discovery of Saul Alinsky by the board is a step forward. You should at least know who he was and the effect he had. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saul_Alinsky Some people will think I am an 'Alinsky type' some will not. It doesn't matter. I'm not sure myself. It is, after all, an emotional issue. How do I feel about who I am. I'll let others take care of themselves. You see...it's not this particular political skirmish that matters. This skirmish is just a minor, inevitable bump in the evolution of the world... population growth, migrations, resultant battles and conflicts. Through all of it the important thing will be to protect yourself, try to do no harm and allow the inevitable to pass. Hopefully the world that results on the other side will be a better one. Probably not. The overriding danger is the existence of nuclear weapons. This is the boogey man in the closet. Trump could be a real danger in this direction. The North Koreans are a much bigger problem. THAT is the nightmare we face. So... Every morning I get up, take a shower and get dressed. Part of getting dressed is putting on my holster, and checking my pistol. I always wear a gun. It's a habit I got used to when I lived in Texas. I then take care of whatever tasks my situation has set out for me. When it's time to vote I will give my opinion. If I am in the majority fine, if not that's fine too. "I recognize that while these ideas have been very pleasing to me, I realize that others may have other ideas which are equally pleasing to them." Namaste
You're an idiot. Try getting your news from a real source rather than relying on the "processed" variety. Oh, and this: Apart from regretting the "half" part (that was her only change in "stance"), she did not then refer to the bigots as the people who felt "left behind by the economy," as you described. She distinguished between the two groups comprising the Trump base in her original statement. That didn't change. (Who gives a shit about the bigots? They deserve to be left behind. Buh-bye.)
She had not just "rolled back a little bit". Her campaign is in full crisis roll-back roll on her comment on calling half of Trump voters "deplorables". It is a significant mistake that is driving undecided voters away from Hillary according to most reports.
She is desperate, seeking attention at any cost. She is seeing her attempt to be the most corrupt presidential candidate run in history go up in smoke. Adios Hilliary!
deplorable indeed . . . Hypocrite and Moral Failure Dick Cheney Attacks President Obama on the Anniversary of 9/11 Republicans are taking this whole un-American thing to a new level as they follow their party leader Donald Trump down the drain. So on this 15th anniversary of 9/11, Republican former Vice President Dick Cheney attacked the sitting president of the United States in order to blame President Obama for the mistakes of the Bush Cheney administration. I’ll give you a sense of Cheney’s rant in the Wall Street Journal published on September 9th, but the tl/dr version is wah wah Obama bad, Republicans great, everything is Obama’s fault, Obama weak, Obama helping enemies, etc. You’d think Obama wasn’t the guy who got bin Laden when Bush and Cheney couldn’t be bothered. The taste (making it brief for your health): Defeating our enemies has been made significantly more difficult by the policies of Barack Obama. No American president has done more to weaken the U.S., hobble our defenses or aid our adversaries. In 2006 on Meet the Press, then V.P Dick Cheney claimed that any criticism of then President Bush’s foreign policy encouraged and aided terrorists. Criticism of the war was unpatriotic, Bush told us. Cheney also claimed at a fundraiser that raising questions about what Bush knew “is thoroughly irresponsible and totally unworthy of national leaders in a time of war.” Cheney has long blamed Obama for withdrawing the troops from Iraq, which is odd because Obama did that based on the Status of Forces Agreement then President George W. Bush signed. Furthermore, Cheney knows that the U.S. president isn’t in charge of Iraq and can’t dictate to them when we would leave. Cheney also knows that we stayed on in an advise and assist mode, ready to step up when Iraqi Security Forces needed help. And Cheney also knows that the Iraqis didn’t want our troops there, and our troops weren’t always treated well even as they assisted. Cheney knows it’s unseemly to not only attack the sitting president as a former V.P., and even worse, to do it on 9/11. It also happens to be inaccurate in this case. In 2004, Republicans argued that to criticize Bush at all for the ever changing excuses for the Iraq invasion and the failure to plan an exit strategy before invading was to side against the troops. This was their argument for Bush as the accused the actual Bronze Star and Purple Heart war hero, John Kerry, of being unpatriotic and being against the troops, even as they swiftboated Kerry’s service. People weren’t allowed to even question Bush and Cheney, and the press often went along with this new definition of patriotism. Dick Cheney is thought to be the architect of the war in Iraq, an invasion the Bush Cheney administration based on false intel and a war that they claimed was related to 9/11. This war led to the instability of Iraq, which led to a power vacuum in Iraq, which in part led to the rise of ISIS. Dick Cheney and the Bush administration were also the types who encouraged the kind of black and white thinking that caused the Dixie Chicks to be banned from radio because they criticized Bush’s plans for war in Iraq. The Bush administration harshly silenced dissent claiming we had to stick together or we were siding with the terrorists. Criticism of the president was “unpatriotic”, Republicans argued. So it’s wildly hypocritical and cowardly that Dick Cheney picked 9/11 to rant about President Obama and incorrectly blame Obama for the rise of ISIS. Dick Cheney said he would support Donald Trump. That really should be the end of Dick Cheney being given a platform to attack anyone. If Cheney et al had not invaded Iraq based on lies, we wouldn’t be here right now even having this discussion. But certainly it’s not productive to use the painful anniversary of 9/11 to point fingers at the guy who took over after 9/11 happened on your watch and your administration’s war hawks manipulated intel to suggest Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Here’s a kick in Cheney’s pants; the current Republican presidential nominee says that Bush and Cheney lied about WMD and thus started the Iraq war on a lie. Trump also blames Bush/Cheney administration for 9/11. It’s no wonder Dick Cheney went full whining blame mode today. He has continued to refuse to take responsibility for the mistakes made in the lead up to the war, and instead of being a grown up, he’s lashing out– not even at Donald Trump who is openly accusing the administration of lying, because Cheney hasn’t that kind of moral courage — but of the sitting president who has been stuck mopping up the Bush Cheney mess as best he could. Donald Trump isn’t a one-off, and one need only look at the despicable behavior of Dick Cheney to realize just where the party of personal responsibility really went off the rails. This is what Republicans have come to. Childish finger pointing and projection of their own mistakes onto others, trolling America on 9/11, and general moral cowardice.
Not a crisis imo.I don't think this is going to do the kind of damage that Romney's 47 % comment did.I think her campaign is in crisis mode about her health though.
