Trump's "preemptive" attacks on Clinton...

[nat4900]

So let me get this straight, one major party candidate for POTUS is slinging mud at the other major party candidate for POTUS?

HOLY ****!!!! somebody alert the press! I'm sure NOBODY saw this one coming!

... Meanwhile back on Earth; both candidates for POTUS from the major political parties suck ass and swallow.

Although I agree with you about the fact that mud-slinging is NOT new...my point is that for every stupid allegation that Trump throws at Clinton, for some it is ALSO a reminder of Trump's own checkered past.

 

[rightwinger]

I've always found it funny how Trump, with his own rape allegations, with multiple failed marriages due to his own infidelity, with a long history as a millionaire playboy....thinks bringing up 25 year old allegations against Bill Clinton is an effective strategy

 

[NightFox]

Trump is no threat to Bernie, or Hillary at the national level. Come November, one of those two will be the next president.

Uh-Huh, so we'll either have a socialist kook or an unscrupulous criminal in the Oval Office next January, oh well so much for the Republic, it was good while it lasted.

All of them, douchenozzle.

^^^^^
More stupid than originally imagined...

 

[pismoe]

Trump seems to be able to take care of himself just fine. Since you have the evidence, why don't you file charges, asshole? So far, the Democraps haven't been able to do jack shit. The best they can muster is he's "angry."

Why don't you suck on Trump's latest ad campaign... just in, from last night. Fresh off the presses....

Yes, Trump feeds your hatred of Clinton, and you're lapping it up.....You were always going to vote for Trump regardless.....So, your vote was NOT gained by Trump's qualifications, but because you hate Clinton.

In the long run, your vote won't really count....It is the independents' and sane republicans' votes that will make the difference as who will sit in the oval office.....and Trump's preemptive attacks may NOT gain him any more votes than the hate-filled ilk (you included) has already decided.

----------------- morning Nat , Trumps only qualifications are that he is a divider and he is NOT the same old same old . I'm hoping to see the Trump shake up the USA and maybe the world Nat .

 

[NoVote]

Amazing. Almost a year later, and the only people that get why Trump is so far out front, are the people that put him there. I can't wait till November.

 

[SeniorChief_Polock]

This portion of the women's vote is critical so we will see.

Correct - and President Trump is bringing that issue to the attention of the American people - and it WILL get much, much uglier - so please be patient, sit back and relax. Enjoy the show....

Trump escalates attack on Bill Clinton

 

[easyt65]

POINT #1:
Your use of the term 'Preemptive' is incorrect.

Preemptive:
"Undertaken or intended to deter or prevent an anticipated, usually unpleasant situation or occurrence."

Hillary launched the 1st attack, to which Trump responded by launching an ad that showed Hillary barking like a dog. Trump's was a 'response' and anything that followed can not be looked upon as a 'preemptive' attack.

POINT #2:
"Trump's checkered past with bankruptcies, possible Mafia ties and questionable businesses practices, are mitigated by attacking Clinton on her Wall Street ties."

2A. Bankruptcies:
Businesses are risky ventures. 'Shite happens'. He never gave up, and he has come out on top. Are Libs suggesting one of life's lessons should be that if you try and fail just give up? Of course, Hillary does remind me of one of my favorite 'De-Motivator' posters: It shows a dejected runner after losing a race, the caption saying, "Winners never quite, and quitters never win...but if you never win and you never quit you're an idiot." Hillary doesn't care about winning and refuses to quit because it's all about staying in the game to collect as much power and money she can - THAT to her is 'winning'.

2B. "...POSSIBLE...QUESTIONABLE..."
"possible Mafia ties and questionable businesses practices" --- 'possible' and 'questionable' are speculative and means the person using them has no proof. While not unimaginable, until there is proof 'you' are just throwing shite at the wall to see what sticks. (Before I get called 'biased' / 'partisan' -- Works both ways, with anyone at any time)

Ahem....Trump doesn't have a checkered past, to wit:

Trumps Rules of Trumpolitics aka "What the King Says is So, Is So"
Rule #1: Nothing that the Donald did or said before announcing his bid for the GOP nomination counts, didn't happen, unless of course the Donald decides that it did and even then he can change his mind on a whim.
Rule #2: Anything that the Donald did or said after announcing his bid for the GOP nomination is subject to being denied, scrubbed or blamed on somebody else at the sole discretion of the Donald.
Rule #3: If Rules #1 and #2 don't apply you're not paying attention.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Trump's hoo ha nonsense keeps his base rallied.

Will it help with the independents, particularly women? We will see.

Yes, pre-emptive is the correct word.

Trump doesn't really 'feed off hatred for Clinton'. Trump exists in this political arena, has succeeded and 'fed off' the frustration and anger of the American people they feel towards corrupt, self-serving/party-1st, elitist, ruler-wanna-be politicians who have elevated themselves above the Constitution, the Rule of Law, and their role as SERVANTS of the people, who have and now engage in non-representative government who have betrayed the people...people LIKE Hillary but not specifically HER.

Hillary is THE 'POSTER CHILD' for everything just mentioned. She is arrogant, elitist, believes she is 'entitled' to the Presidency, etc... And despite how smart she THINKS she is, she is not clever enough to completely get away with all of her scandals. Time and again she continues to get caught in them, despite managing to call in favors / do what she has to in order to get away with them, EARNING her the title of 'least trusted in this race'.

But still, it is not just HER. Trump exists because of all she represents. If Hillary can not change this tidal wave of rebellion against career politicians and her being seen as the poster child' by so many - which is the reason for a near 11 point poll swing in only a several months - she is going to lose.

"What the King Says is So, Is So"
Democrats have made a lifetime / career claiming nothing in their past or what they have done in the past matters:
- You source is not valid because I say so
- Obama's past does not matter...because I / we say so
- Bill Clinton's infidelity does not matter and does not disqualify him from being President but Herman Cain can't be President and should drop out of the race because he has been (falsely) ACCUSED of adultery...because I / we say so....

Democrats to this day STILL lie, deny, scrub, and blame others for their actions
- "It wasn't MY 'Red Line'...it...it..it was the WORLD'S 'Red Line!" Sound familiar?

 

[easyt65]

Yes, pre-emptive is the correct word.

How so. Trump, as mentioned, is in flat out 'attack' mode, not 'pre-emptive' attack mode. Hillary launched the 1st Salvo. Trump responded. Trump continues, without distraction. Poor Hillary is trying to fight 'enemies' on (at least) 2 fronts.

Perhaps it is all a matter of 'perspective'.

 

[NightFox]

Sound familiar?

Dunno, I don't pay any attention to what the ******* Democrats say; they always lie AND their lies are BORING on the other hand Republicans at least try to make their lies humorous.

(1) HRC's "negatives" would be exploited by any Republican running against her. Bernie Sanders has pointedly ignored them because he has always known that ultimately he will be supporting her as the party's nominee.

(2) HRC's negatives are mainly factual, though the details are somewhat unclear. She has always tried not to leave a paper trail to her criminality, e.g., destroying 30,000 emails then telling the American people not to worry - nothing bad in them Riiiiiiiiiiight.

(3) Democrats simply CANNOT attack ANYONE on the basis of loose morals or a lack of personal integrity. Such attacks would have no credibility given Democrats' wholesale support for none other than the presumptive First Spouse. WJC was always a scumbag, and never seriously claimed to be anything other than a scumbag, even if he did carry his Bible to church with him every Sunday.

(4) Like WJC, Trump's scumbaggery is well known and is accepted by his supporters, so attacking him based on his infidelity or shaky business dealings is a waste of time.

(5) Trump and his team have shown a knack for knowing when to attack, and knowing where the other candidate's vulnerabilities were. Expect more of the same. And fortunately, the Clintons provide a virtual cornucopia of crimes, misdemeanors, and unethical behavior to exploit.

 

[Iceweasel]

First let me state that I do NOT like Hillary Clinton....Any other democratic candidate in this cycle could have destroyed Trump's popularity. In other words, for some voters, hatred of Hillary correlates to the insane current support of Trump.

What Trump's advisers are pushing Donald to do, is to preemptively attack Clinton on the very same flaws that one could discern in Trump's own checkered background.

So, Trump's sleazy history with women and 3 marriages, is countered with an attack on Hillary's "enabling" of her husband's infidelity.

Trump's serious lack of foreign diplomatic experience, is met with attacks on Hillary for her vote on the war on Iraq and her history with Libya.

Trump's checkered past with bankruptcies, possible Mafia ties and questionable businesses practices, are mitigated by attacking Clinton on her Wall Street ties.

Will these preemptive attacks work?????

It may simply boil down to the questionable acumen of the American electorate.

Hillary's foreign policy experience isn't exactly a plus for her. obama had none. At least Trump has trade experience, something we desperately need. We've been run for a long while now by people who know little else than sucking off the public titty.

Possible mafia ties? Well, if that's what you want to call the trade unions in the northeast that have a stranglehold on construction.

The hinge will be if American women will permit Trump to judge and talk about HRC and her relationship with Bill. Women as a whole have a very unfavorable opinion of Trump on women's issues. Trump's chance to win rests on working his way through this potential minefield.

You mean they favor the wife of a child molesting, woman degrading pedophile?
That's refreshing.

 

[NYcarbineer]

They elected George W. Bush, the man who destroyed the economy and took us into Iraq.

You elected Obama, ass/shitstain. The one who destroyed the economy - 20 times more than GWB did - and took us into Iraq not once, but three times now, asshole !

The economy was at -6% GDP and losing 700,000 jobs a month when Bush left office.

What has occurred since then that is 20 times worse?

Hillary is not very likeable

Trump turning her into a victim will not help his cause
