Who is Deplorable?

Posted on September 12, 2016 by daniozaeta

Everyone who votes for Mr. Trump is deplorable! We are all racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, or Islamophobic or so Hillary Clinton declares. We are now labeled as a basket of deplorables and we are all the same, well at least half of us are. She chose to say that we were deplorable and decided to generalize the Trump supporters as one. She is quick to come to conclusions of the opposite side but yet she has not had a clean back of her own. Trump wants her medical record to be released, but she refuses. Why is she refusing to show her medical record? Are the Trump supporters the only ones in the view?

Everyone was very offended when Donald Trump came out and said that Mexicans were criminals and rapists and from there he was labeled a racist. His accusations made, may not have been from facts or even any evidence and he messed up on that, but how is Hillary Clinton any different from what she said?

Hillary came up with those accusations and then regretted what she said. She was apologetic and chose to say she generalized in what she had to say. Why is it ok for her to apologize and have her words forgotten? Trump offended Mexicans with his statement and now Clinton is offending many more. She is quick to start pointing fingers, but when fingers are pointed at her she quick to deny them or not even acknowledge the accusations. Hillary is either choosing to ignore us or she does not want the truth to come up. Why are somethings left unanswered with Hillary?

Earlier in this election Trump wanted Hillary to come out and release her medical record. Hillary refuses to do so but why? Maybe everything the republicans have came out an said about Hillary’s health is false, but if that is the case why does she hide it? Hillary had a concussion in December of 2012, yes, but how did that affect her health? She seems to not be doing so well with her health so far, this past Sunday, Hillary had to leave the ceremony honoring the 15th anniversary of 9/11 due to her Pneumonia and dehydration. She was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday but it was not released to the public until after the incident leaving the ceremony. If her health record does not matter why has it not been released? If her doctors were hiding her pneumonia what else were they hiding?

We should not be focused on her health! Why are we still talking about her health? Why has she not released her medical records? If this is all a conspiracy why doesn’t she just come out and give us facts? The truth is that multiple doctors are concerned with her health and so is the public.We are left with a lot of unanswered questions that may lead us to believe conspiracies.

Hillary is calling the Trump supporters deplorable, but who is really deplorable?

If it all comes down and everything people and doctors say about her health is just a big conspiracy, how do you take away the other things that are against Hillary and her reputation?

We recall that Hillary had the email accident. Hillary decided to use her email server for official use instead of the appointed one when she was the secretary of state. She violated the protocols and was not punished for what she did. The FBI conducted an investigation of what had happened, they either investigated or are still in the process of investigating all of over 30,000 emails. So far the have released that 8 of the emails were top secret, 36 were secret and 8 were confidential . The FBI is still investigating the rest of the emails and have not released everything they know about the email scandal and probably will not release anything until the election is over. They did though come out and say that no charges would be held against her yet. The FBI explained that what she did was wrong but she was not going to be processed because they think that she did not intentionally delete them. Hillary was extremely careless and did not take her role as serious as she should have taken it. She has shown to be careless with classified emails and yet she still has credibility with some people. She comes out to say that some voters for Trump are deplorable, but has she looked in the mirror?

What is the definition of deplorable?

Deserving strong condemnation

Synonyms: disgraceful, shameful, dishonorable, unworthy, inexcusable, unpardonable, unforgivable

What are we willing to call deplorable? Maybe Trump does not have great things to say and maybe the things he says are not very reliable but is he who is deplorable. His word may seem to point that he is deplorable and maybe even the people that repeat his word. His words are just words so far but Hillary’s actions are more than words. When Hillary’s actions came out who is really deplorable? In this case who is the worse of two evils?

A very energetic critique of Hillary Clinton, and I appreciate your point about needing to be fair in critiquing HIllary’s misdeeds and missteps just as we do Trumps. I am surprised that you didn’t mention Hillary’s alleged “pay for play” with the Clinton foundation, in that those possible misdeeds seem to me very troublesome in suggesting intentional sale of access to government power.

I wonder how we go about balancing the deplorable actions and statements by candidates against each other? Of course any candidate who ever runs will be vulnerable to being charged as being “deplorable,” and there are almost always going to be instances of misteps or misdeeds. But it seems much of the media, and almost all established commentators, and even many life-long Republicans (George Will, Glenn Beck, etc.) have claimed that Donald Trumps temperament and his actions are beyond the norm as far as deplorable go. Why is that? What is it that drives mainstream media, mainstream commentators, most intellectuals, and even established Republicans away from Trump. Assuming you are correct in your critique of HIllary in this post, do you believe that all these mainstream forces are blinded in their ability to fairly compare HIllary and Donald? If so, I’m curious as to why.

Also, Hillary’s exact critique was that Trumps supporters are a “basket of deplorables,” and she argued that many were racist, xenophobic, anti-muslim, etc. Is there in fact a difference in Trump versus Clinton supporters as far as this point goes? Does Trump attract a uniquely “deplorable” group of Americans, or are Clinton’s supporters just as likely to be racist, or anti-muslim, or some other negative trait as Trump’s?

I would be interested in your thoughts on those kinds of questions.

Last weekend was a rough for Hillary Clinton. Between her “basket of deplorables” comment and her health scare, I think that her behavior confirmed some of the worst stereotypes her detractors have constantly attacked her for– that she is firmly part of the elite establishment and that she has a pattern of being extremely secretive and withholding with the truth.

I see similarities between her comments and previous gaffes in other presidential campaigns. In 2012 Mitt Romney had his infamous “47%” comment https://youtu.be/M2gvY2wqI7M, in which he disparaged a share of the electorate. In 2008, Barack Obama said that small town conservatives clung to their “guns and religion.” https://youtu.be/DTxXUufI3jA. All of these comments took place at private fundraisers filled with wealthy donors– in Romney’s case, at $50,000 a plate. I think it’s an interesting look at the psyche of the candidates in such private settings. They feel comfortable enough with the crowd that they may speak a little more truthfully. Compared to tightly scripted public appearances, what we see in these private rooms filled with the social elite may resemble what the candidates truly think and perhaps reveal who their “true” audience is. For Obama and especially Romney, their comments continued to haunt them through the rest of the campaign. I can see that happening with Clinton as well, with new memes and many adopting the “deplorables” moniker like a badge of honor.

In regards to her health, I think that in an election with two of the oldest candidates, there is a legitimate public interest about knowing the health of the candidates. I’m sure that Clinton’s campaign hoped that no one would notice her stumble and could just bury the news with silence. In the end, the campaign came off a lot worse for not telling anyone about her pneumonia until it was much later than if they had simply acknowledged it early on.

This was a great depiction of how when the rolls are reversed that Hillary Clinton will try to wait out the storm. Articles have come out saying that she is hoping that if she can just run out the clock http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/hillary-clinton-trump-email-strategy-227347. That she can handle her controversies after the election is over and plead for forgiveness after she is elected. It has been known that the media for the most part is on the side of progressives, and making small comments on things that could hurt Hillary Clinton’s image to the public. while her opponent seems to be claiming all the media attention for the stuff he says. Just one thing is different with this candidate Donald Trump is not an ordinary republican candidate who runs from the media. This election cycle he has the target set out and the media has the bulls-eye. trump has found a way to demonize the media and make it work out for him. his claims that the media is in Hillary’s pockets have gotten to voters and now the media trustworthy numbers are taking a sharp hit http://www.gallup.com/poll/185927/americans-trust-media-remains-historical-low.aspx.
Is it because of Trump maybe, maybe not but people are fed up.
