* The "deplorables" comment fits right into the narrative she laid out in her Reno speech a few weeks ago that Trump has on his team people from the alt right and many supporters who are leaders in the alt right.

* It asks moderates, "Do you really want to be lumped in with these hate mongers? Do you really want to be part of Trump's base that thinks like this?"

* It brings the issues of hate, racism, xenophobia, and misogyny in America and in the Trump campaign front and center.

* It puts Trump and his deplorables on the defensive. They will just amplify their hate proving her very point.

* It makes her look strong and principled to Democrats, Progressives, and anyone else put off by Trump's hate and his hate-filled base.
It plays VERY WELL with the base. She had the guts to GO THERE and CALL THEM OUT!

* She was careful to limit her comments only to a segment of his base. These slimebags would never vote for her anyhow.

****** The one thing she and her team MUST do is stick this comment to the narrative that TRUMP PLAYS TO THIS KIND OF HATE just as she did with the Reno speech. IT IS AN EXTENSION OF HER NARRATIVE IN THAT SPEECH.********

And then his crowd cheered and cheered just as they cheered and cheered and yelled "lock her up, lock her up" at their hate convention. And they are constantly on right wing social media with their racist homophobic misogynistic xenophobic crap.

What Hillary said was simply the truth, and the Trump campaign and everyone else who isn't deplorable knows it. He is playing to that element, and EVERYONE knows it. These "deplorables" including Trump himself and many on his team should be the ones constantly answering for their outrages. Hillary just called them out. GOOD! It is about damn time! She and her people should be CONSTANTLY attacking Trump and his people for their racist homophobic xenophobic mysogynistic outrages.

ANYONE else would be FIRED. LePage is mentally unfit to govern, and he must go and go NOW.

Here is a petition you can sign online: http://mefga.org/

(Also, there is a rally at Capitol Park in Augusta tomorrow at 6:30pm.)

The Governor's recent actions are simply inexcusable. Half-baked apologies and
lame excuses can no longer suffice.
Anyone else in any position would be removed from his/her job. In the very
latest outrage, LePage is saying he will hold one of his town meetings in
Westbrook on Wednesday, the very city in which Rep. Gattine, whom LePage
threatened and used such vile language with, lives and serves. The governor is
obviously completely mentally unfit to serve as governor.

Pressure is mounting around the Maine GOP to act and act very seriously. If
they agree to a call of a special session and merely censure LePage, they know
they will take a serious beating at the polls in November and in two years
because he will still be there and voters will take it out on their party.
Democratic leaders have told their Republican colleagues that they must pressure
LePage to resign and seek professional help for his psychological problems.
Remember, ANYONE else would be fired
for such outrageous behavior. Just imagine a School Superintendent, or a fire
chief, or a person working in the private sector acting like that? They'd be
gone in a New York minute.

As Democrats our position must be firm and decisive. We must follow through on
what our leadership has stated: that Lepage is simply unfit to serve as
Governor. If he won't leave voluntarily, he must be forced out. Enough is
enough. Remember, again, Republicans are in a SERIOUS bind. If LePage remains
in office, they will suffer tremendously at the polls in November and in two
years as well, and they know it. Democratic leadership is giving them some time
to act, but they won't wait indefinitely.

Also, it is important to contact your House Reps and State Senators as well as
both Democratic and Republican leadership.

The Khans’ 27-year-old son, U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan, was killed in 2004 by a suicide bomber while deployed in Iraq. The Khans have become nationally known and continue to speak out against Trump.

LePage doesn’t like it and said so Wednesday on the Howie Carr radio show, which you can hear by clicking here. LePage’s interview, which touched on several topics, begins about 57 minutes in.

The governor’s comments about Khan came during a discussion of Adnan Fazeli, an immigrant from Iran who became a follower of the Islamic State while living in Maine before travelling to Turkey. Fazeli died on the Lebanese border while fighting on behalf of the Islamic State, a radical Muslim group that demonizes Western culture.

Carr equated Fazeli to the Tsarnaev brothers, who bombed the Boston Marathon in 2013. LePage agreed.

“[Fazeli] is just another version of [the Tsarnaev brothers], then there are the mighty powerful ones like Mr. Kahn who is a con artist himself,” said LePage. “He uses the death of his son who is an American soldier which we respect and honor and he uses that to go after Trump, which I find very distasteful. then we find out that he’s a law partner with guess who? The attorney general of the United States.”

Right wing Maine Governor Paul LePage, a "YUGE" supporter of the extremely unqualified nutjob who is Trump, called Khizer Khan a "con artist" in an interview with radical right wing hate radio host Howie Carr.

LePage is a disgusting and vile excuse for a human being, just like his buddy and fellow scumbucket Trumpenstein.


It's the Paul LePIG and Crazy Sleazy Donnie show.

He answered well. And he HIT Trump hard again and again. THAT is how you do it. You answer, and then you turn and go on the ATTACK! It was SO good!

Trumpty Dumpty sat bloated and orange on his sociopathic wall. Trumpy Dumpty had a bad summer and an even worse fall. All Trumpty's horses and all Trumpty's goofball men will never fix Trumpty's ego again.

Trump and the R's will be OBLITERATED in November! Meantime, just continue to call Trump "An insane piece of rotting dog shit" every single time you are asked about him, and work like hell until November to elect Hillary and Dems up and down the ballot.
