Uh.. No. Clinton and Obama have both attacked Trump supporters to create the narrative they are "deplorable." Obama even goes overseas and mocks the people he leads, he's a garbage president. I'm genuinely disgusted by democrats this time around. They are dividing the country. Trump doesent have a perfect record but dems are actually pushing people away in what should have been an easy victory for Hilary. |

I could go on. Like how Trump supporters are now punching old ladies in the face.
What narrative is being "created"? When you see numbers like that and then look back at Hillary's statement.....was she wrong? They aren't "creating a narrative"; the narrative is creating itself by way of the type of people who support Trump.
I don't understand why people think she "insulted" anybody, and hard working people who are voting for Trump are now calling themselves "proud deplorables". Guess what, hard working people who want a better economy and to end ISIS: she wasn't talking about you. You're not a racist who believes black people are inherently more violent? You're not a homophobe who doesn't want two consenting adults to get married? You're not an Islamophobe who thinks Muslims should be on watch? Well that just means you're in the other half of supporters that she had nothing to say about. If you're a "proud deplorable", then you're proud that the above figures describe you. But if you're only a "proud deplorable" for political brownie points, then you're an idiot. Because you voluntarily group yourself with racists and bigots.
