1. And the media?

Chirp


Chirp

[napkinz]

43. if Hillary had made that comment, can you imagine what would be happening now on MSNBC, CNN, and

of course FOX.

BREAKING NEWS: HILLARY DISPARAGES HALF OF ALL AMERICANS! DEVASTATING STATEMENT! THIS WILL HURT HER IN THE BATTLEGROUND STATES! THIS IS GAME CHANGING!

[BlueStreak]

55. They don't ask the most basic questions

Yes, there are 45 million seniors. You can't get those lazy 80 year old bastards to do a lick of work.

And about 100 million under age 21. These worthless takers just want to sit around at school getting educated all day long.

And there are 50 million people with disabilities (overlapping with the above two groups.

And so on. When have you ever heard anybody in the media challenge assholes like Paul Ryan and Donald Trump when they through out their "takers" bullshit?

[Coyotl]

2. One word: Deplorable

[doc03]

3. That is funny, giant basket of deploribles.

[BlueStreak]

56. And don't forget, Trump's supports are heavily biased to seniors

Trump's supporters are much less likely to be working than Hillary's.

[Funtatlaguy]

13. I frigging love this

So much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Coyotl]

15. Post it everywhere for everyone to see.

It says it all, plus great orange tone

[doc03]

4. That should have been a TV ad two days ago. He even topped the

Romney 47% remark.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

6. i know !!! just been tweeting my brains out sending to every news person out

there.

wish we knew who had a real in with campaign here. know they are here - just not who they are.

[Democat]

12. This should be run every time the media mentions "deplorables"

The media love equivalency, this should be the answer to "deplorables".

[doc03]

16. We won't see it unless maybe Rachel Maddow runs it. It needs to be on

the network news, Fox and CNN. Probably the only way for it to be seen will be if it is a paid ad.

[napkinz]

46. Daily Kos covered the story a couple of days ago

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/9/10/1568831/-Donald-Trump-50-of-the-country-sits-back-and-says-we-don-t-have-to-do-anything

If the mainstream media actually believed in doing the hard work of real journalism, comments like these by Trump would be front and center. Instead, they are obsessed with Press Conferences and grading Trump on a curve.

No one is picking up on it. Pathetic!

This story SHOULD have legs.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

52. They really don't have to do their job on

This one. Being handed to them on a silver platter.

[Frank Cannon]

25. The number keeps going up.

By 2020, it will be 80% of the population who are shiftless losers who don't want to work, who only want free stuff from the top 1%.

[Democat]

5. Clinton's campaign should organize people to bring this to the media

Democrats will get nothing if we don't put pressure on the media.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

7. hmmm. wonder how to find carville

[herding cats]

24. Tweet it to him.

https://mobile.twitter.com/jamescarville

[bmstee01]

27. Tweet to anyone and everyone

Paul Begala
Jennifer Granholm
Howard Dean
Rachel Maddow
Joy Reid

[molova]

8. Zero mainstream outlets have picked up this story

None.

[Democat]

11. Team Clinton should use this to dull the "deplorables" fallout

This is perfect to force the media to mention every single time they mention "deplorables"!

[SaschaHM]

9. I'd love to see the Clinton campaign put this out as an ad in battleground states.

[Democat]

10. Running an ad would force the media to notice it

Just for that purpose it would be worth it.

[doc03]

17. On youtube read the coments Homer Simpson says it is made up of two seperate

clips and it is out of context. They won't believe anything about Trump even when he is caught red handed.

[bettyellen]

21. I did see ads about it just yesterday and tweets - but no media coverage

[napkinz]

14. this needs to be made into an ad!

[napkinz]

18. send it to Hillary's campaign ...

https://www.hillaryclinton.com/forms/contact-us/

[Laura PourMeADrink]

23. Thanks N. just sent. although wish someone here had a direct contact

[napkinz]

31. that's great!

you might want to cross-post this to General Discussion for members who don't read or post here in GD 2016

the more that see this potentially DEVASTATING-TO-TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN video, the better

[Funtatlaguy]

19. When did he say the first part about the 50% ?

If that is from anywhere since he started his campaign, why isn't our side plastering it everywhere?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. I know. Don't know the origin - someone said David Corn dug up.

[pinboy3niner]

39. June 2015 on Hannity

The other part is from January 2015 on MSNBC.

[napkinz]

20. K&R

[oasis]

26. Exposed.

[doc03]

28. That is not a gaffe, that is what the Trump supporters think. nt

[bmstee01]

29. Kellyanne Comments

Calling Trumps supporters nasty and skeeze needs to come out too

[napkinz]

32. :)

see http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028163232

[unblock]

30. trump insulted 50% of *all* americans; much more than hillary insulted

she only insulted half of trump's supporters, i.e., maybe 20% of americans.

of course, he's insulted far more even than that, once you include women, blacks, immigrants, the disabled, etc.

[napkinz]

34. Trump outRomneyed Romney!

[unblock]

36. by a whole 3%!

[napkinz]

54. yep, and Romney lost with 47% of the vote if you recall ... how fitting that was!

[treestar]

33. So the unemployment rate is at 50%

Or the labor force participation rate maybe? And retirees and school kids accounted for? He's an idiot.

[unblock]

37. it's quite possible to be a lazy do-nothing and still be employed. as a republican congresscritter!

[treestar]

38. Yes! And also questionable that what Donald does is "work."

Probably more like royalty ordering people around.

[bmstee01]

35. EVERYONE WITH TWiTTER

Send this to anyone and everyone. This can be a big deal! We need get organized!

[napkinz]

41. Twitter, Facebook, spread it all over!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

44. TWEETING BRAINS OUT

[ThoughtCriminal]

40. It's those lazy children and retirees!

Trump could roll back child labor laws and stop paying out Social Security to those bums.

[napkinz]

42. if Hillary had made that comment it would be DOMINATING the news cycle

damn MSM!

[JHB]

45. It ain't just Trump...

Romney may have spread it over a couple of sentences rather than blurted it out all at once, but he was saying the same damn thing.

[napkinz]

47. KICK!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

48. DOUBLE KICK

[napkinz]

49. OK, I TRIPLE KICK!

Top that!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

50. cheers

[CajunBlazer]

51. K&R for the fourth time

[napkinz]

53. :)

You said in an earlier reply that someone on DU sent the video to the Hillary campaign.

As Daily Kos put it, "Trump basically called 50 percent of Americans deadbeats."

I hope the Hillary campaign has seen that video and is working on an ad using Trump's disparaging comment.

It would be a great sequel to the "Low Opinion" ad they released a couple of days ago ...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

59. I sent under their website "contact us"

form checking "campaign ideas". Then got a form letter response. Need real live contact. Sent video to Carville and Begalan and Jon Favreau...hoping they see. But a real contact would be better. Think I will change title of post.

[napkinz]

60. Did you post it in the Video & Multimedia Forum?

[napkinz]

61. I can't believe I didn't think of this before ... SEND IT TO RACHEL!

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/send-it-rachel

[Laura PourMeADrink]

62. already did. but trying to concentrate

on CNN. Want them to pick up.

[napkinz]

66. have you tried CNN on Facebook and Twitter?

[kacekwl]

57. I don't get it , I keep seeing the same Hillary ad played

over and over. This 50 percent line as well a dozens if not hundreds of Trump comments,scandals,videos should be played in ads non stop. What's up with democratic strategists ?

[napkinz]

58. Hillary comes out with a new ad almost every other day.

Check the Video & Multimedia Forum

[kacekwl]

64. Oh I see all kinds of ads here and other websites but

nothing new on tv. Not in Illinois anyway.

[napkinz]

70. probably because Illinois is not a swing state

[kacekwl]

72. Still need to inspire some

get out and vote swing state or not.

[WeAreAllImmigrants]

65. Let's get him

If the Hillary campaign doesn't get an ad together quickly my organization could put something together. Does anyone know who owns the right to that video? Here's another ad my organization put together:

&spfreload=10

I'll research but someone please respond to this comment if you find out who filmed the video in the original post.

[napkinz]

69. it was created by ShareblueMedia ...

see https://twitter.com/ShareblueMedia/status/775868328896294912

[tribe-time]

67. Kick n/t

[Stellar]

68. Mother Jones had something similar...

http://m.motherjones.com/politics/2016/03/donald-trump-mitt-romney-47-percent

Nevertheless, this video should be shared everywhere.

[napkinz]

71. THIS is why Hillary needs to make an ad of Trump's disparaging remark about the 50 percent!

Trump this morning:

My opponent described tens of millions of American citizens as deplorable and irredeemable – how can Hillary Clinton seek to lead this country when she considers its citizens beyond redemption?

http://time.com/4495507/donald-trump-economy-speech-transcript/

We need to neutralize this argument by creating a sh*tstorm over HIS attack against 50 PERCENT of the American people.

[napkinz]

73. kick

[Laura PourMeADrink]

74. kick. send video to someone please

[napkinz]

75. still haven't seen anything on this from the Clinton campaign

[Kablooie]

76. Problem is the Trump fools always think Trump is talking about someone else.

Even if they are just sitting at home watching TV instead of working, they think they are in the 50% that will have to carry the lazy do-nothings.

[riversedge]

77. Have you seen this article about this issue??..........

At Shareblue, Activating Hillary Clinton’s Outrage Machine

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/23/us/politics/hillary-clinton-media-david-brock.html?_r=1

By JASON HOROWITZSEPT. 22, 2016

Just before 9:30 p.m. on Sept. 13, the first Twitter post appeared, directing users to an obscure article about a remark Donald J. Trump had made last year that 50 percent of the country did not want to work.

Over the next 48 hours, 1,819 people, seemingly furious that the news media had paid more attention to Hillary Clinton’s assertion that half of Trump supporters fit into a “basket of deplorables,” lashed out at reporters and news outlets.

“Dear Media: If you don’t cover this, you’re covering for him, #Trump50percent,” wrote one Twitter user.

“@CNN @CNNPolitics have been in bed with #Trump for a year! They refuse to report #TrumpScandals #Trump50percent” wrote another.

By the end of the week, the hashtag #Trump50percent had appeared in Twitter timelines more than 30,000 times.

Other liberal Twitter users, some of them with more than a million followers, linked to the article and spread the same complaint the Clinton campaign had made: that a shameful false equivalence was causing the media to soft-pedal Mr. Trump’s many transgressions and overplay the few it could find on Mrs. Clinton.

At first glance, the Clintonian grass roots seemed to have organically sprouted in anger. But closer inspection yielded traces of Miracle-Gro that led to the sixth floor of a building in the Flatiron neighborhood of Manhattan.


There, surrounded by start-up tech companies, “Star Wars” posters and flat-screen televisions fixed on cable news, Peter Daou sat with his team at a long wooden table last week, pushing the buttons that activate Mrs. Clinton’s outrage machine. Mr. Daou’s operation, called Shareblue, had published the article on Mr. Trump’s comment on its website and created the accompanying hashtag.

“They will put that pressure right on the media outlets in a very intense way,” Mr. Daou, the chief executive of Shareblue, said of the Twitter army he had galvanized. “By the thousands.”...............

[napkinz]

78. Is there any reason Hillary's campaign hasn't made an issue and ad of Trump's "50% remark" the way

President Obama's campaign did with Romney's "47% remark"?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

79. As for her campaign could it be that it

could refresh everyone's memory about Deplorables? It all makes me want to try harder now.

[ecstatic]

80. Maybe saving it for the right time. Perhaps the debate?

Everyone would be googling and hopefully he'd be fact checked live on air.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

82. I am hoping so ! Fear the worst part about it will be that

we here will have a zillion comebacks left unsaid

[Laura PourMeADrink]

81. still tweeting. still no one showing
