Ms. Clinton's comment was certainly unfortunate.  Her lumping of the groups of individuals whose personal prejudices lead to their support of Mr. Trump in a "basketfull of deplorables" was unfair.  She should have, instead, named those groups: the misogynists, the racists, the xenophobes, the homophobes, the anti-intellectual zealots, the birthers, the climate-change deniers, and the "anti-govenment" nihilists (exemplified by the Bundys and their supporters) and expressed her displeasure with their views and actions.   Are these folks "deplorable".....no, of course not, Hillary was very politically incorrect to call them so.  However, IMO, their views, prejudices and actions are "deplorable."  Those views and resulting actions are divisive and destructive and a true threat to the well-being of our nation.  

Ms Mulligan: I'd never call you "deplorable", but, I'm guessing, I'd find some of your views less than admirable if you fall into one or more of those groups I mention.
