It was a bad political move, sure, but my point is that she just said what the rest of us were thinking in that case.
And what, post-election, has at least partially borne out by the white-supremacist groups, KKK and alt-righters openly supporting Agent Orange and making public comments about how they're pleased he didn't openly denounce them...
And let's keep in mind that she wasn't saying that ALL Trump supporters were in that basket:
Quote:"You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?" Clinton said. "The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up."
She said the other half of Trump's supporters "feel that the government has let them down" and are "desperate for change."

There's a third camp of people: The die-hard, hardline Republicans who were never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever going to vote for anyone on the Democratic ticket simply because they were a Democrat.
I remember my dad sitting with a friend at Starbucks and they were each saying things like "I don't like Trump but there's no fuckin' way in hell I'm voting Hillary." There was no way they were going to vote Bernie, either - they were Trumpkins from the time he won the primary on.

If she runs again she'll be, what? 73/74? I know there's not exactly an upper age limit on candidates, but there are requirements of the job that aren't exactly kind to the geriatric population.
