We, the Deplorable

So the great and terrible, all-seeing, all-knowing Hillary Clinton declared a few days ago that "half of Trump supporters are 'deplorable.'"  Later Ms. Clinton attempted to "clarify" herself by stating "I did not mean to say that half of Trump's supporters are deplorable."  How clarifying, yes?  Did she actually intend to say that ALL of those who support Trump are "deplorable?"  We may never know, although it is fairly easy to INFER that is exactly what she meant.  So Trump supporters are deplorable.

Deplorable has a couple of meanings according to dictionary citations.  First, deplorable means "deserving strong condemnation."  Another meaning is "deserving censure or contempt."  A third meaning is "shockingly bad in quality."  Hillary always picks her words and phrases carefully.  There is no doubt that she indeed finds those who support Trump (thus NOT Hillary) to be deplorable.  Ms. Clinton also no doubt knows that synonyms for "deplorable" include disgraceful, dreadful, horrifying, intolerable, lamentable, miserable, reprehensible, tragic, unbearable, and wretched.  Thus we may infer that anyone who does not support Hillary is all of the above.

By the way, one more synonym for deplorable is "SCANDALOUS."  Ahem...er....Hillary?  Did you know you YOURSELF are DEPLORABLE.  Yes, ma'am, being very scandalous from your early attorney days as a lawyer on the Watergate committee (from which you were FIRED FOR LYING), to the scandals with you and Bill in Arkansas, to your illegal email activities, and most of all, all the way to your depraved indifference to the plight of the desperate heroes of Benghazi, you have been the VERY DEFINITION of DEPLORABLE.  When, Ms. Clinton, other than during your pre-school years, have you ever NOT been scandalous, or "deplorable?"

It would seem to me that if supporters of Trump are, in your word, deplorable, how much more so are you and those who support you?  In the current two party system, the only way NOT to vote for you, Ms. Clinton, is to vote for Donald Trump.  At least it appears at this point that the third party candidates cannot win the presidential election.  So for many Americans there seems to be no alternative but to vote for Donald Trump.  I personally would rather vote for Donald Duck but he has no chance of carrying enough delegates at this point to win the election, so that just leaves Trump.

Ms. Clinton, I am very pleased that you find me deplorable, if being non-deplorable means having YOUR values (cannot keep a straight face as I type "values" in the same sentence with "Clinton") and YOUR sense of honesty, indeed, YOUR integrity (rolling in the floor now, give me a second!) than I am more than happy to wear the label that you so boldly bestowed on probably forty percent of American voters.  I understand that there is even a T-shirt for "deplorable people" to purchase.  I will be getting one of my own, for sure. 

I have never wanted to be deplorable, but Ms. Clinton has given that word a new meaning, and now I am indeed honored to be "deplorable." 

Stay DEPLORABLE, my friends, and may God Bless America.
