As she said the following day
"Last night I was ‘grossly generalistic,’ and that's never a good idea. I regret saying ‘half’ -- that was wrong. But let's be clear, what's really ‘deplorable’ is that Donald Trump hired a major advocate for the so-called ‘alt-right’ movement to run his campaign and that David Duke and other white supremacists see him as a champion of their values. It's deplorable that Trump has built his campaign largely on prejudice and paranoia and given a national platform to hateful views and voices, including by retweeting fringe bigots with a few dozen followers and spreading their message to 11 million people. It's deplorable that he's attacked a federal judge for his ‘Mexican heritage,’ bullied a Gold Star family because of their Muslim faith, and promoted the lie that our first black president is not a true American. So I won't stop calling out bigotry and racist rhetoric in this campaign. I also meant what I said last night about empathy, and the very real challenges we face as a country where so many people have been left out and left behind. As I said, many of Trump's supporters are hard-working Americans who just don’t feel like the economy or our political system are working for them. I'm determined to bring our country together and make our economy work for everyone, not just those at the top. Because we really are ‘stronger together.’ "
Of course when you are at the Trump Gloryhole, just be happy and don't look behind the curtain.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!
Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

A self-serving apology, suggested by her campaign staff when people were justifiably offended by her insane remarks. Not impressed. I am certain she knew exactly what she was saying (like Obama's bitter clinger remarks), and equally certain she meant it.
I despise Trump, hate his behavior. I know exactly what's behind the curtain, I know how vindictive and self absorbed he is. I call out ugliness on both sides.
Integrity was not on the ballot in 2016, not anywhere.

If that’s the best response you have, we know I’ve won. And the answer is not hard at all. You are confusing being right, with being angry.
