Hillary Clinton Didn't Help Herself With Recent Comments

http://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-37329812

This article/video is about democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton. At a recent fundraiser she said that she would put half of the trump supporters into the deplorable category. She then went on to say that that group are racists, homophobic etc. These comments have caught much of the attention of the media. Donald Trump responded to the comments, tweeting that he supports any American no matter who they are voting for.

This wasn't a good move from Hillary Clinton, in my opinion. Even if it is true, which I do believe it is, you shouldn't say that about another campaign. Donald Trump is always unprofessional, so she should use that to her advantage, and not sink to his level. Most people who support Clinton, have an idea of some of the subconscious thoughts of Trump supporters. Hillary isn't enlightening anyone by saying these things. I do have similar thoughts like this, but I wouldn't say it officially like how she did at this fundraiser. People who are in between candidates will be driven away from her. President Obama was never that quick to lash out at his competitors in 2008 and 2012, and granted those were better candidates, but she needs to have the same composure as the president for her to win. In the end, I think that people in the middle will vote based on policy, and seeing as Donald Trump doesn't have any real policies, they will vote for Clinton. The bigger implications aren't too huge.
