Trump is a walking attack ad. Hillary hasn't even started on him.

[RR1997]

Hillary will heavily attack Donald John Trump on stuff like this. Donald John Trump has too many skeletons in the closet. He can't win.

[Ronnie]

I'm glad the media is finally doing its job and digging up dirt on Trump.  I sort of wonder if they knew about this stuff for a while and just kept it under wraps until he clinched the nomination.

[Wells]

Hillary will heavily attack Donald John Trump on stuff like this. Donald John Trump has two many skeletons in the closet. He can't win.

Those two skeletons are going to come out fast once Clinton pivots to the general.

[Likely Voter]

Trump is a walking attack ad. Hillary hasn't even started on him.

While this is true, it does bring up a dilemma for Clinton that was discussed on CNN's Inside Politics this morning. They discussed how there is so much stuff on Trump that it is hard to pick a theme and a frame for the attacks.   Is he a racist? Is he a sexist? Is he a crony billionaire? Is he reckless?   The Clinton campaign and the Super PAC can't attack him on everything and with so much their message can lose focus.

1. Yeah, that was a horrible thing for Trump to say.
2. Trump has immunized himself from damage due to public outrage.

[Hermit For Peace]

It doesn't seem to matter what Trump says or does, where, or when. His supporters are sight and hearing impaired. They only see and hear what they want to see and hear. The rest is unrecognizable unimportant background noise.

[RightBehind]

Trump supporters are dangerous people. I fear them.


What I find most head scratching is how Christian many of them claim to be, then they thank their God and Jesus for Trump. It's like they worship him. In other words, they are sinning by making a false idol.

I think everyone is already aware of the racist and sexist rhetoric, which will probably continue to be in the media and won't be forgotten by the groups he has attacked. I say focus on a new route.

Why not use a kitchen sink strategy? Let's not forget that Al Gore/John Kerry were simultaneously disingenuous flip flopping weathervanes and radical far left nutjobs.

I think it's a false choice. Same for when Obama needed to decide on whether to attack Romney as a flip flopper or severe conservative.

Agreed. Call him out on being socially all over the place: not a flip-flopper, but pro-gun control, pro-trans bathrooms, "anti-SSM," and pro-life. There is a danger to being a maverick.

I'm glad the media is finally doing its job and digging up dirt on Trump.  I sort of wonder if they knew about this stuff for a while and just kept it under wraps until he clinched the nomination.

I think Hillary and the Dem Party, are waiting until he is 100% cemented-in as the Rep nominee.
Then, they take out the bazooka and starting blasting him.
This way there is no turning back for the Republican Party, in possibly choosing another candidate.

But can anyone out Trump, Trump? He's the king of trash and thrash.

As I said to Runeghost in another thread, I don't really buy that, because I think the Dems would salivate over the idea of another Republican being nominated over Trump.  If that happened, the GOP would just go up in flames, and Hillary would be guaranteed the presidency.

Grasping here.   Nothing to see seems like he only made a smart comment.

Once voters discover what a true neoconservative neoliberal warmongering corrupt corporatist plutocratic militartistic establishment hawk she is who's bought and paid for by Wall Street and the millionaires and billionaires, this comment by Trump won't matter. Voters just hate her too much.

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

just more proof that when people say "i like trump because he cares about people like me", what they really mean is "i like trump because he doesn't care about people who aren't like me"

[ag]

Probably, the least controversial statement Trump has made in years.

[ProudModerate2]

Nice.
trump hoping you lose your home. Beautiful.
He has mansions, while you get thrown out of your small house, and onto the streets.
Wonderful.

Are we now all convinced that trump is an a**hole ?
