my dad thought he may be getting Alzheimer's when he couldn't remember that exact word (I was reading my "deplorable" ex-friend's nasty Christmas card aloud to them). She was the only deplorable I knew.

not just "white trash" or "trailer trash" (not p.c.) because this group encompasses so many more types of deplorables ... white supremacists, kitchen table racists, racists on wheelchair scooters, golf cart racists, sexists, religious extremists, gun worshipers, mammon worshipers, bullies etc. = trump trash

Inhuman racist Nazi scum would be more appropriate.

Trump started as a birther racist, and has gone down hill from there.

F Trump.

As Lawrence O'Donnell would say.

The racist and vile excuse for a human being keeps proving Hillary correct about the "deplorables" comment. That goes for most of Congressional Republicans as well.

... that Hillary referred to the men and women in law enforcement who support Trump as deplorables!

Literally all you can ever expect from Republicans is crying and lies. Lying and cries.

“Deplorable,” as a word is insulting but not crude. “S——ole” is insulting and crude. And by the next news cycle/next outrage/next 6 hours, it will be forgotten.

"Calling them people who believe and endorse stereotypes" is too long. Or maybe it's too reflective.
