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. 

Boy, I really doubt these polls are valid. But hey, believe what you want.

I don't support punching old ladies in the face. But dems have had their fair share of violence with riots the media ignores.

You only doubt the polls are "valid" because it paints a grim picture for a lot of Trump supporters. Funnily enough, those same polls have things like: "% of registered voters who say free trade agreements have been _____ for the U.S." with 58% of Clinton supporters saying it's been good, while 68% of Trump supporters say it's been bad. That seems valid, right? You could say that that's generally accurate, in describing each candidates supporters.

But when they turn around and ask those same participants about Muslims and black people, and Trump supporters start looking bad.....all of a sudden, the same poll, with the same methodology, asking the same participants is conveniently "not valid".

These are Pew and Ipsos polls, surveying anywhere from 2,000 to 16,000 people, btw (i.e. more than ample sample size). If we're just tossing surveys from credible sources because the results aren't favorable, then we can just toss out any poll, and there's no point in ever backing up anything with stats.
