HRC was more succinct, three words in the place of five.

That being said, the replacement does have a beat.

What would've happened if she would have called them

but the scope of their size.
They could fill a huge fleet of construction size dumpsters...so many that if one were put on each of a fleet of trucks and they left on a cross country trip with one leaving the east coast every 5 minutes, the first ones would be on the west coast before the last ones left the east coast.

I think we are all past that now, don't you?

Well, I am sure as hell over it.

Politeness does not win the next election.

Fuck repub's - vote them out - get them the hell out!

Jeff Tiedrich speaks truth.

Treat them as the racist shitweasels they are.

She said the ones who were racist, misogynist, etc. belonged in what she called a "basket of deplorables".

Granted, most of them fit into those categories, but I just wanted to point out that her statement was pretty nuanced.
