Today's MOZEN: DEPLORABLE

F LoBuono

During the 2016 campaign season, I believe that Hillary Clinton made a huge political mistake when she referred to Donald Trump's hardcore supporters as a basket of deplorables.

It was ill-timed and unfortunate because, even though I understood that she may have simply been describing the many bigots and racists who have supported him from the beginning, it was used in broader terms to characterize ALL of his supporters as well as those who were merely thinking of supporting him. This was extremely politically damaging to her campaign as it became an effective rallying cry by those who were simply NOT that nefarious in their intentions. Many Independent voters who were uncertain in their choice of a candidate and may not have ultimately supported Mr. Trump, were rightly insulted and in the final analysis voted as much AGAINST Ms. Clinton as FOR Mr. Trump.

But, that was then and it this is now.

We've all had ample time to see, first hand, what a train wreck this Administration is and the lengths that those who continue to prop it up will go to to keep their hold on power, even at the risk of destroying our democracy.

If every incredibly poor policy decision, from Health Care to Immigration Reform to Foreign Affairs made by this Administration and President isn't enough to convince you that he is (and, always was) unfit for the office of President, then how about his: raging, bullying, inappropriate, insane, inaccurate, false, fabricated, grammatically incorrect, foolish, bigoted, poorly worded, ill-conceived, faulty, inappropriate, insensitive, improper, nonsensical, and downright inane, statements, tweets, comments and appearances to further persuade you?

And, I could go on. Every day is another misadventure that would be laughable if it weren't so deadly serious. This ain't no Reality TV Show!

If, after what I have written above (and, you have seen with your own EYES) isn't enough to demonstrate that Donald J. Trump is unfit for his office, then you are the type of person he was referring to when he uttered one of the only accurate statements he has ever made - I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose a vote. 

And, therefore, you are truly DEPLORABLE.
