![What Happened: Hillary Clinton Means-Tested Basket Of Deplorables With Rich Donor Pals And That’s Why She Lost [VIDEO]](https://victorygirlsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Cassidy-Hillary-Clinton-Basket-of-Deplorables-1.jpg)
New York Times reporter journalist hack Amy Chozick whiningly covered Hillary Clinton for over a decade. Evidently Hillary and Co didn’t pander to her reporting greatness enough hence Amy wrote a whiner of a tell all book. The WaPo review tells you all you need to know. However, there are some instances where Hillary really was that bad of a candidate. Remember her Basket of Deplorables comment?
“You know, just to be grossly generalist, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables,” Clinton said, according to BuzzFeed News. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.”
And then Hillary tried to walk it back.
Uh huh…. so only half of the half of us were Deplorables. Got it.
However, in Amy’s whine fest, we find out that Basket of Deplorables was a long-time catch phrase of Hillary’s.
Deplorables was a set piece, not a slip of the tongue.https://t.co/zHcgMyDYxl pic.twitter.com/zx4DiwIjLM

Oh ok… so that means when Hillary was appearing with Cher and all the elitist donors, she means tested Deplorables and everyone applauded. So cute.
Evidently there is more.
That was no slip of the tongue, since “Hillary always broke down Trump supporters into three baskets,” Chozick writes.
“Basket #1: The Republicans who hated her and would vote Republican no matter who the nominee.
Basket #2: Voters whose jobs and livelihoods had disappeared, or as Hillary said, ‘who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens in their lives and their futures.’
Basket #3: The Deplorables. This basket includes ‘the racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic—you name it.’
Look, I understand about looking at demographics and attempting to identify likely or undecided voters. That has happened with political campaigns for YEARS. However, to go ahead and means test a snarky mean-spirited comment with your mega donor pals, get laughs and then take the show on the road shows us that Yes, Hillary really truly does not understand Americans as a whole. She’s above us you see. Stronger Together unless you are in Baskets 1, 2, or 3.
Why else would she have embarked upon an 18 month world wide BLAME EVERYONE ELSE BUT HERSELF Tour of excruciatingly deplorable displays of self-awareness fail and self-pity?
Look again at her “apology.” It wasn’t an apology per se. You see, she only regrets saying that half of basket is Deplorable. Notice, her apology doesn’t say that she is sorry for saying it at all.
Hillary, you pandered to America, and America decided they’d have none of it. That’s on you and you alone. Too bad your Deplorable arrogance won’t ever let you realize that.
Melissa says: I pray for the day when these elitists left wing scum get back what they’ve dished out to us for decades.
Nancy says: You don’t mean “means tested”!
JT Kurtz says: More to the point, Hillary was an awful candidate. She never understood what it takes to run for office, what to say, what not to say, what to do. She felt she should be able to skip over that part of the process and just be allowed to move into the White House.
Bill Dyszel says: When you say “means-test” I think you intend to say “market test.” A means test is when you require someone to qualify for a benefit based on low income. But your point is clear – she was “auditioning” the phrase with wealthy donors.
Brian Brandt says: Absolutely clear. She just tested on the wrong demographic.
Jorge McKie says: I told a former student, who I have won several bets on politics with, in 2014 that the GOP would beat Hillary unless they “nominate a dead dog.” Starting in Feb 2016 he was all over me right up until Nov 10. It’s not just her, although stuff runs downhill from the top, but those she surrounds herself with.
Or those she gets surrounded with. The author of this book, from the excerpts I’ve read, is just as clueless as Hillary, and it seems almost everyone else but Bill Clinton is, too. What’s funny is that’s she’s not even remotely “charismatic” (which is what saved Obama and Bill) but attracted them by seeming “inevitable” at gaining power. So she got even less than devoted followers but the bootlickers, jock-sniffers, toadies, sycophants, etc that had even less talent for campaigning than she.
She was sort of Nehru to Obama’s Ghandi but never got power. The connection wasn’t strong enough and she wasn’t really his Second-in-Command. She was definitely not “likeable enough”.
We dodged a really big bullet. She pretty obviously has psychological problems of a sever nature.
askeptic says: “Bitter Clingers” worked for Obama, but he didn’t have a history with America.
Hillary had that history, and “The Basket of Deplorables” reinforced it.
BillsFan says: I told my uncle and my brother while at dinner back in 2003 that Hillary would not only not run for the 2004 Democrat nomination, but that she would never be president because she had at that point been a public figure for well over a decade, and her negative ratings were always around 50%. They both looked at me like I was ignorant and thoroughly wrong.
Man, I love being right.
[…] very enlightening to see Democrats slam rural deplorables. It’s even more enlightening to see Cackles Kamala do so from a remote ranch in Wyoming while […]
