I have an interesting question. Should Trump get a lot of credit for hammering the Hillary corruption issue? What if someone like Mitt or Jeb or Kasich or Rubio had been the nominee? Would they have pursued Hillary as tenaciously as DJT?
In the interests of full disclosure. I posted some discouraging thoughts about the Trump candidacy a few weeks ago and I got almost 200 zots from trumpsters. Now that I’ve come to see the light All I get is encouraging remarks. My what a difference a chhange of perspective can bring. Now I see why All the other 14 candidate would have probably brought us defeat before the Clinton machine. I should thank God for the courage of Donald Trump (That’s President-elect to you Paul Ryan).
They would say that despite the FBI misconduct Hillary is very qualified because she is a woman and then apologize that they were not aborted before birth.
The answer is a resounding NO! During the debate, Donald Trump looked Hillary, directly, into her eyes and told her when I get elected I am going to appoint a special prosecutor to look into your email situation. Can you imagine Jeb, Ted, forgot the woman’s name that ran or any of the rest of them doing that? Can you imagine any of them giving her the psychological moniker “Crooked Hillary”. Donald Trump has never wavered on her crookedness and has been pounding that theme from the time he became the nominee. He talked about Huma and Weiner having access to sensitive information which is on the front page today. His consistent hammering of the crooked one has embarrassed every law enforcement official in the profession.
When the NBC tape came out and they called for Donald to quit, can you imagine Jeb, Ted or any of them standing up to the onslaught the Donald did?
The real answer is:
NO, NONE OF THEM HAVE A PAIR LIKE HIM!
Oh they would have rolled over for a tummy scratch long ago
How about, “Who’s gonna be surprised if they find out that Yeb! and MiltRomley are mixed up in it too in some as of yet unknown way?”
No. HELL no! You don’t throw rocks at your boss.
Apologized?
And that may well have changed the minds of people within the FBI. Its one thing to go along with a cover-up when you feel secure that nobody is going to ever look into it. Its quite a different thing to realize that there is a pretty good chance the next President of the United States is going to tell his new Justice Department to "look into" the very project you were involved with.
How many FBI agents, technicians, etc. want to go home and explain to their spouse that they will be deposed by a special prosecutor tomorrow because of their role in some cover-up they just went along with, and then they'll be looking for a new job.
Trump is already improving the behavior of the government and he hasn't even been elected yet.
McCain would tweet “We have nothing to fear from a Clinton presidency. She’s a good and decent woman!”
Man, I’m hoping DJT drains the swamp of crappola like Jeb,
and all the professional politicians.
It is my opinion that none of them would have hammered her any where near what Trump has done. We saw how McCain not only wouldn’t attack Obama, but publicly berated his supporters and anyone else that criticized Obama. At one point he said what a fine president Obama would make. When those things happened, I knew right then it was over. That doesn’t inspire anyone! What a complete, unattractive dud he was.
Romney did well in one debate, and after that dialed it back. Obama was riddled with a radical/shady past, but other than Palin in 2008, when she wasn’t being restrained by the McCain camp, not one of them had the guts to go after him. There was certainly enough ammo to go after him after 4 years in office! Even a good portion of our talkshow hosts were too scared to mention the shadiness in Obama’s history.
Our side has been stuck in the way campaigns used to be run. They have an old school, country club mentality. It all started in 92 with GHWB being so out of touch, and it has basically continued from there with all these old milquetoasts getting their turn every four years.
Even though GWB won twice, the first time by the skin of his teeth, his goody-two-shoes, reach-across-the-aisle attitude is a big reason why we have now had 8 years of Obama. I remember how the Bushies would brag about never attacking Obama. The Bushies were such class, people said. Too good for all that. But they have had no compunction about attacking Palin and now Trump. I get that they were rooting for Jebbie, but you know darn well the lot of them are voting for Hillary now. They actually side with and support that corrupt, evil woman! But hey, they are “class”.
That’s what we have on “our side”. That’s the “opposition” to radical, corrupt, and anti-American leftism. Either too weak-kneed and/or in bed with the other side. So no, looking at history, and the more recent past, they wouldn’t have called this most corrupt politician out at all. They would have allowed her to be number 45, and given a very gracious and “classy” concession speech. “Thank you, Sir, may I have another!” Unfortunately, all of us peons in fly over country are getting a walloping, too, when they willing bend over.
They would have parroted Bernie by saying they didn’t care a whit about the emails. Old Bern will forever feel the Bern by being marginalized by the Clinton Democrat machine but also by not attacking Hillary concerning the emails. Too bad for him.
Trump is now re-exposing these Republican losers because they have given additional support to Hillary by saying they would vote for her. Their you know what is in the wringer now.
Exactly what they did in the primaries for Jeb and the election for mittens....roll over.
Nothing
These drones are part of the problem...go along get along -
the lying inner circle
I couldn't agree more.
Either of them would have just stood there with a confused look on their faces.
’ Would they have pursued Hillary as tenaciously as DJT?”
Rubio may have pursued Hitlery, but not as tenaciously as DJT. I’m still not totally against this guy.
As for the others? Pleeeeeze. Gimee a break! Mitt or Jeb or Kasich upholding the law? To go against the Clinton’s would be to go against their own kind.
Jeb would have ‘gone along to get along’... he’s an elite waiting to be compromised on the alter of being in ‘polite society’....
A fool...
Jeb would have asked his Mommy what to do.
Mittens would have combed his hair.
