basket of deplorables:
"basket of deplorables" is a phrase from a 2016 presidential election campaign speech delivered by democratic nominee hillary clinton on september 9, 2016, at a campaign fundraising event, which clinton used to describe half of the supporters of her general election opponent, republican nominee donald trump. Clinton later said that she "regrets saying half [of trump's supporters]", and the trump campaign repeatedly used the phrase against her during and after the 2016 presidential election. Many trump supporters adopted the "deplorable" moniker for themselves. After clinton's loss, some journalists and political analysts questioned whether the speech played a role in the election's outcome; clinton herself wrote in her book what happened that it was one of the factors for her loss.
