The Chcago Tribune managed to take issue with the Trump assertion that his "Basket of Deplorables" created the biggest mistake of the campaign. It may have energized his people, in fact.

"--As was Trump's bashing of the Gold Star family that criticized him during a speech to the Democratic National Convention."
"--As was Trump's spastic imitation of a disabled reporter with whom he had differences."
"--As was Trump's declaration that American-born U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel couldn't be fair when presiding over a lawsuit against Trump University because he "is of Mexican heritage" — a remark that Republican U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan called "textbook" racism."
"--As was Trump's denial that he knew anything about famed white supremacist David Duke."
"--As was Trump's cavalier dismissal of the service record of Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, who was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam for five years: "He's a war hero because he was captured," Trump said. 'I like people who weren't captured.'"
"--As was Trump's preposterous assertion that he knows more about how to combat the Islamic State than U.S. military generals."
"--As was Trump's invitation to his pals in Russia to do additional computer hacking into Democratic party servers."
"--As was … well, you get the idea. Trump has cornered the market on preposterous, offensive, ill-advised and utterly false utterances."
"And third, no, Clinton's remarks probably weren't a mistake at all. The words seemed pretty well-scripted as she delivered them — this was not a classic political gaffe in which someone inadvertently blurts out what he or she really thinks, but a well-aimed shot at a disquieting weakness in the Trump campaign.
