Then candidate Trump’s 2016 opponent, Secretary Hillary Clinton’s full infamous quote: “You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?”
It seems that slurs and name calling – what debaters call the low-brow tactic of using a demeaning attack on the person – is something that the Clintons, their strategists have been willing to do.
That Clinton quote was widely considered to be one of the reasons that many turned out to vote for Donald Trump. Among those Trump supporters, per a New York Times poll, and a survey in a manufactured home community by the Daily Business News, were owners of pre-HUD Code mobile homes, and post-code manufactured homes.
Wikipedia says that the quote, “Drag a hundred-dollar bill through a trailer park, you never know what you’ll find.” was used in “January 1996; thought to be a reference to Paula Jones and her charge that President Clinton had sexually assaulted her, but Carville insisted he meant Gennifer Flowers.”
Quotes below by Carville are exactly as found on Wikipedia.
Consider those quotes in the light of the sexual harassment scandals that have embroiled Hollywood, the media, politics, and business.

The truth is never misguided. There may be better times or better ways to share the truth. But those are prudential judgments, that are very much compatible with the truth.
