Clinton's "basket of deplorables" was mistake, but let's remember Romney "47%" comment had no effect on polls. Down 2% before, down 2% after— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) September 10, 2016

Hillary Clinton was absolutely correct in saying some supporters of Trump were/are deplorables.— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) August 14, 2017
I don't know whether to laugh or cry about the fact that ABC News' chief political analyst knows incalculably less about actual, American politics than some middle-aged, middle class nobody civilian blogger living in the middle of middle America.
Fortunately, Mr. Dowd has hit upon the perfect remedy to people pointing out his fundamental ridiculousness.
I have taken the step of blocking or muting people that use hate language or will not listen. No point in engaging with people who hate.— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) August 15, 2017

I confess that, like you, I have no idea how this world works where there are constant paeans to the concept of "meritocracy" but talent, experience and demonstrated ability are disqualifiers. Ees a puzzlement.
Mud pen drifter
Dowd simply expresses loyalties to wallow in the moment like a hog wallows in the mud. roaming into the hollowed area left from Sen Joni Ernst (Ia) carving out a hogs heart.
Yes indeed,, hogs have hearts and they actually have brains that think and decide. Ask Sen Joni Ernst (Ia).
Sure, it's intelligence is that of a barnyard animal. But then is Dowd really much different within an 11 month time span?
Now that Dowd agrees with HRC of Trumpanzees being deplorable. What are the chances we get him to admit he is one of the hogs in the despicable mud pen..
Eff Dowd.
This Johnny Come Lately bullshit is beyond aggravating. So what? When the clearly White Supremacist KKK Grand Dragon in the White House manages to foment a for-real civil war, will Dowd then rewrite History to say that it's the fault of Both Sides?? And then, how will that serve to improve the situation?
Will Dowd's wealthy Overlords permit him to hunker down with them behind high gated fences surrounded by their own private armies to keep the Stupids with Gunz 'n Tiki Torches at bay??
Good effen luck with that fundamentally ridiculous Dowd. Yer gunna be out there with the rest a us hoi polloi tryin' ta figger out how to pertect ourselfs from the KKK Oafs wid all their gunz 'n stuff.
And YOU, Dowd, did everything in yer effen power to unleash this monster. EFF YOU.
You know what your problem is, Driftglass? You're not modest enough. Read David Brooks 8/15/17.
There wouldn't be so many poors and Nazis running around if everyone just were a bit more modest! More like David Brooks--everyone would even get their own NY Times column!
The press totally fucking failed in 2016. Clinton says Deplorables, and the discussion skipped over the part about what that means (Neo-Nazis, KKK, you know.. if you were searching for a word in your Roget's 'Deplorable' is pretty apt description of fascists), never once discussed what she meant by what she said. And the discussion went straight to "the fascists' feelings are hurt by Clinton's mean words. How could she say such a thing. Both Sides."
in other words, Amen to what RUKidding said: 'Good effen luck with that fundamentally ridiculous Dowd. Yer gunna be out there with the rest a us hoi polloi tryin' ta figger out how to pertect ourselfs from the KKK Oafs wid all their gunz 'n stuff.
And YOU, Dowd, did everything in yer effen power to unleash this monster. EFF YOU.'
"...blocking or muting people that. No point in engaging with people who hate."
So I assume Ms. Coulter and Desuza has been blocked right Mr. Dowd?
DFB has a lot to be modest about.
