None of this is really new, it's just proof is finally coming out. The problem is Trump is so dislikable that it shadows how dislikable Clinton is herself. If the GOP had put forward anyone else other than Trump (and maybe Cruz), this would not even be a race. I'm baffled by people who enthusiastically support either of these two.

Personally I enthusiastically support Clinton because she has inclusionary policies - for a country with such a terrible (and continuing) history of exclusion, it's the right step forward.

Except for those on the right. They're 'irredeemable' 'deplorable' 'racists' and we should cease to do any business with all of them immediately.

I believe she said "half of his supporters" were in that basket and then -specifically- stated that the other half "are people we have to understand and empathize with as well." Sounds inclusionary to me.

Clinton has inclusionary polices?? Can you explain what you mean? She is not as rude and crude as Trump, but she is divisive in her own way.

https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/ - I'd say at least half of those are "inclusionary". Definitely the first 8 if you want to pick up on specific ones.
