    ‘Deplorables’ Rise Up to Reshape America
    Wearing establishment disdain as a badge of honor, supporters propelled the Republican nominee to the most stunning victory in modern American history

    The deplorables rose up and shook the world.

    “Deplorables” was, of course, the disparaging term Hillary Clinton at one point applied to some supporters of Donald Trump. Many of his loyal followers proudly embraced the insult and used it as a motivating tool.

    Wearing such establishment disdain as a badge of honor, the Trump army cut a deep swath through the American electoral system Tuesday, propelling the Republican nominee to the most stunning victory in modern American history.

    In winning, Mr. Trump didn’t merely vanquish Mrs. Clinton. He instantly remade the Republican party in his own image. He rewrote some of the GOP’s most dearly held policy and philosophical positions. He shredded the conventional wisdom in both parties, which held that there simply weren’t enough of the white, working-class voters who flocked to his side to win a national election. Whole sets of comfortable assumptions in both political parties now will be swept aside.

    CNN wanted to interview a deplorable but they don't know any. They tried to get a picture of one but all the voters looked just like ordinary people. Hard to tell them apart.

  4. The "Deplorable" line is one of the many, many mistakes Old Hillary made during her terrible campaign.

    They look ordinary until they open their mouth.
