По числу набранных голосов Хиллари Клинтон - на втором месте после Обамы 2008. Если бы не стечение разного рода обстоятельств, все прославляли бы ее гениальную победу.
Ремарка про "deplorables" вырвалась у нее в конце долгого дня с перенесением пневмонии на ногах. Оговоркой было "half of" вместо "some of".
You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic -- you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people -- now 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks -- they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America. But the other basket -- and I know this because I see friends from all over America here -- I see friends from Florida and Georgia and South Carolina and Texas -- as well as, you know, New York and California -- but that other basket of people are people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they're just desperate for change. It doesn't really even matter where it comes from. They don't buy everything he says, but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different. They won't wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroin, feel like they're in a dead-end. Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well.

Generalizing about a broad group of people is almost always unwise. And I regret handling Trump a political gift with my ‘deplorables’ comment. I know a lot of well-intentioned people were insulted because they misunderstood me to be criticizing all Trump voters. I’m sorry about that. But too many of Trump’s supporters do hold views that I find – there’s no other word for it – deplorable.
