Candidate Hillary Clinton spoke before donors and offered this blunt assessment, not of donald trump himself but of his supporters. Listen. To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump Supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. Right . The racist, sexist, homophobic, islamaphobic, you name it. Unfortunately, there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. In the meantime, donald trump also went off script at a rally in florida. Heres what he said. She could walk into this arena right now and shoot somebody with 20,000 people watching right smack in the middle of the heart and she wouldnt be prosecuted. Cnns Scott Mcclain is joining us from washington. Well start with Hillary Clinton, the reaction youre hearing this morning to the deplorables comment. Yeah, the deplorables comment, christi, is going over like a lead balloon with donald Trump Supporters, as you might expected. It is a Trending Subject on twitter and it is causing genuine offense.

This week, johnson finally became a National Name in the president ial race, but not

And the libertarian ticket gary johnson and bill weld will be joining me later in the program. This week johnson finally became a National Name in the president ial race but not for any reason he had hoped.
