"We are going to need a bigger basket." This is attributed to one of Trump's sons. It is really quite clever. It has been theorized (here among other places) that HC laid down her challenge to Trump's people deliberately as a means to the end of solidifying her followers in a struggle to rid the world of the undesirables out there in flyoverland. What would be the equivalent of "flyoverland" in the UK or France? Others believe that in her weakened state as a pneumonia sufferer she simply told the truth that she felt. Well, pilgrim souls, IMO if this was a deliberate gambit, it was a dumb one.

The Deplorables (both the re-educable and the irredeemables) are unhappy at this dismissal of the notion of their equality in the polity called the US. The HC declaration of their moral and cultural inferiority has sunk in and will sink in more in light of the general approbation given to HC's statement by such people as Dana Milbank and the MJ crowd who assert that she was factually correct.

The independents now question her attitude toward them and any others who do not share her utopian vision. pl
