To the Editor:

Let’s dig a little deeper into Hillary Clinton’s assertion that half of Donald Trump’s supporters are what she calls “deplorables.” By her own admission, it was “grossly generalistic.” My problem is that I’m not sure if it really is 50 percent. I believe it is a significant portion of his supporters, but probably something less that 50 percent. But, without them, he doesn’t stand a chance in November.
