I understand it was from years ago. He probably never pictured himself on a future presidential ticket or he my not have said it. It doesn’t bother me personally. Still, it is an unforced error that provides fuel for the opposition. ---

[quote=“DrDeth, post:34, topic:1004807, full:true”] Deplorables did nothing of the sort. [/quote] Not according to Wikipedia (and my own memory): “ The Trump campaign repeatedly used the phrase against Clinton during and after the [2016 presidential election](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_States_presidential_election). Many Trump supporters adopted the “deplorable” moniker for themselves in [reappropriation](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reappropriation). Some journalists and political analysts questioned whether this incident played a role in the election’s outcome. In her 2017 book _[What Happened](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Happened_(Clinton_book))_ , Clinton herself said that her comments on the “basket of deplorables” were a factor in her electoral loss.[[2]](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basket_of_deplorables#cite_note-long_list-2)” ---

> [@CairoCarol](#): > > And Dan Quayle. And Sarah Palin. While they are not great Agnew was an outright crook on his own. This meant when Nixon was going down so was Agnew and people were wondering about the collapse of the government. Rachel Maddow has a podcast about Agnew which is excellent. Regardless if you like her politics this is her doing history. It is free and well worth a listen. - [Bag Man](https://www.msnbc.com/bagman) ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > > [@psychobunny](#): > > > > Perhaps the worst VP choice ever. > > Let us not forget Spiro T. Agnew. Agnew was from the long-lost innocent days of American politics when it was simply an unethical presidential candidate appointing an unethical running mate. Today’s dangerous times are so far beyond that now. Trump appointing Vance is much more like Hitler appointing Goebbels. ---
