Hillary Clinton expressed “regret” Saturday for saying half of Republican presidential rival Donald Trump’s supporters could be put into a "basket of deplorables." Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, said in her apology that she was “grossly generalistic” in criticizing Trump supporters, using that same phrase Friday night when attacking them at a New York fundraiser. “Wow, Hillary Clinton was SO INSULTING to my supporters, millions of amazing, hard-working people” Trump tweeted. Many new polls now show the national race essentially tied, with the Clinton and Trump also neck-and-neck in critical swing states. Millions of Americans are supporting Donald Trump because they are sick of corrupt career politicians like Hillary Clinton.”And Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway called for an apology.
