    Hillary’s quote:

    You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. They’re racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic – you name it. And unfortunately, there are people like that.

      She wasn’t even being ‘grossly generalistic’ and it’s looking like it’s more than half. A lot more.

        If you include all Republicans and only look at homophobia, it’s already at 60%. And those are the ones that will openly attest to it.

        Now narrow that down to the most radical of them (Trump supporters) and include racists, sexist, xenophobes, Islamophobes, and include those who might still be closeted bigots.
