Trump’s rise put a sudden spotlight on the troubles of white working-class Americans. David Corn on the time Donald Trump dismissed half of America as losers. The American people agree with Clinton: Trump is a bigot — this new poll confirms it. Polls show many — even most — Trump supporters really are deeply hostile to Muslims and nonwhites. We broke down Trump’s supporters — we needed more baskets. Yes, most Donald Trump supporters are deplorable and irredeemable. How Breitbart conquered the media: Political reporters were taken aback by Hillary Clinton’s charge that half of Trump’s supporters are prejudiced — few bothered to investigate the claim itself.

Why Donald Trump gets a pass: Clinton laments a media double-standard but it’s the voters who are grading on a curve. Mike Pence refusing to label David Duke as “deplorable” is a good example of why “deplorable” was always far more of a double-edged sword than the Trump crew seemed to realize. “If Trump is going to make this week about the ‘deplorables’ comment the media better push hard on him about his racist supporters”. Anti-Trump conservatives have a “basket of deplorables” on their hands.
