11. You have no idea...

...friends of ours here in Arizona, he is a Exec Sales guy and travels Arizona and Mexico. He supported tRump because he believes "he will shake things up in Washington." A day or two after the deplorables comment, he already was having t-shirts printed and was having business cards printed with "deplorables" language. He pointed to the comment as "evidence" of just how out-of-touch Clinton was. Mind you, this is an intelligent guy, probably makes at least 100K a year. He voted for Bill Clinton TWICE.

Just days after the deporables comment, I was in Walmart, turned the corner and saw matching deplorables shirts on husband and wife.

Deplorables became: (1) a rallying cry; (2) signage- t-shirts, coffee mugs, etc. and (3) "verification" as to Clinton out-of-touch.

And speaking of my friend, he and his wife thought tRump's comments about women were "foul and ill-advised," but not a game changer for them.

When you are already thoroughly indoctrinated with Hillary Hate, her opponent could do no wrong, and she can do no good. And no, it does NOT make sense.
