Believe me, every black male will be offended by that.
She thinks it won't cost her electorally, but it will. Maybe not in shifting people's votes so much, but it will certainly be a rallying cry to boost the turnout of Trump voters.

The report you cited is actually pretty balanced - it also highlighted Hilary's statement about how she understood the frustration expressed by many Trump voters. What is missing is the overwhelming irony of Trump calling for an apology for insults.
Her statement regarding deplorables would have been better focused on the deplorable characteristics to which Trump appeals rather than deplorable people.
