      It's hardly ever going to turn out to have been the right call when a public person decides "to just be grossly generalistic."

      You've already pretty much said at that point that the comment that follows is going to go too far.

      Maybe Hillary Clinton and her campaign actually have decided that 50% of Donald Trump's supporters are "deplorable," but I don't think so.

      [To be clear, this was, "but I don't think the campaign has taken that position." I was not describing my assessment of Trump supporters.]

      The excuses and gymnastics I'm seeing from white people tonight in defense of Trump supporters is exhausting. And disappointing.

      I think you're reading "my perspective" into some place, since I haven't given my perspective on Trump supporters here.

          I wasn't doing that! Not at all, and you're either reading things into what I wrote or intentionally misreading what I wrote.

          I guess I'm confused by the "maybe..." followed by the "but..."; was this purely thought exploration?

          I was saying, "I don't think HRC's campaign has taken position that 50% of Trump supporters are deplorable, but maybe they are."

          Does that inverse recitation make it more clear? I was saying, "I don't think this is their position, but maybe it is."

          But, more importantly, that was just an underlying Q to the actual Q I was asking: Why the "grossly generalistic" caveat?

          If she/they believe it, why hedge, which undermines the claim? If she/they don't believe it, why say it?

          because to play politics is to play semantics? I don't think hedging undermines here.
