Imagine if McCain and/or Romney had gone after Obama instead of playing nice

They didn't want to win might have rocked the "our hands are tied, nothing we can do" mentality in Congress when the GOPe held the majority in both houses. The Republicans say one thing, but they're just part of the same tax and spend structure as the Democrats.

“OK, Hillary, let’s go over your debate strategy.

Remember to smile.

Look assertively into the camera.

Fart like a gassy old mule and run off stage screaming, ‘The hills are alive with the sound of music!”

That about covers it.”

Don’t forget to negotiate for that halftime pee break / strategy session like the D debates had.

McCain and Romney were both suffering from paralysis of analysis, in which they both simply bought into the line that they were racist, sexist, homophobic bigots. This line, apparently, was very effective, but only because they ALLOWED it to be effective. The Donald, however, has never bought into this line. Like a huge Caterpillar D11% bulldozer, he simply rolls over these attacks, and in doing so, invalidates them.

Herself thought the “woman card” would provide enough cover to simply duck away from this onslaught, but The Donald always had the Trump Card.

If nothing else, The Donald has blown apart the conventional way by which politics has been played in this country since the 1930’s.

I don’t think that Hillary would ever do anything to benefit anyone but herself. That is all she has done her entire life. She will fight for the Presidency until the end. She will bow out for no one.

It’s her psychosis to desire ultimate power to “fix things” and get revenge on her “enemies”.

Yes Trump is truly the Phalanx CIWS system of politics.

He uses Tweater like a Gatling gun.

The problem for the left and for the anti-Trump people, is that Trump’s been a pop icon since the 80’s. He’s been in the public consciousness and known to millions of people for so long that you can’t just make up crap about him. It doesn’t square with his engrained public perception

I was listening to Chris Plante on WMAL this morning. He was talking about CNN sending a reporter to get numbers for the presidential candidates.

Reporter went to Logan County, WVA because it is 6 to 1 Democrat. He could not find one person who would admit they were going to vote for Clinton in November.

Lieawatha and Hitlery are saving their best shots until close to the election. Expect the usual series of lies from Democrats fired off without enough time for Trump to respond. He just has to be twice as nasty. POUND the Faux Indian's lying a$$ with every bit of truth about how she lied to get ahead and destroy her credibility from the getgo.

Won't make any difference to the massholes who elected her - they expect lies from their leftist candidates and would be disappointed if they didn't get them, but outside of MA she's not well thought of (except by the media)

In fact, she has more of a do-nothing history after her stint as SoS.

Benghazi is going to come back to haunt her. It WAS the 3:00 phone call, except that it came in the afternoon instead of the morning. And she flubbed that from the 11 hours of the attack and for weeks following.

I think Hillary is running out the clock for Biden. She will do battle until the convention, then (cough,cough) drop out so that Biden/Warren get the ticket. Her pay off will be that she gets to keep all of the Clinton Foundation money (bribes) that she collected.

Or Bill pops a blood vessel.

She will also want protection from prosecution over her server.

Another Trump Effect--God bless him and protect him and his family.

###Imagine if McCain and/or Romney had gone after Obama instead of playing nice, while taking a beating from the left and the media.###

Or Romney had put his foot on Obama’sthroat in the debate. Ryan is/was a loser from the getgo.

LOL - the half-time pee break! And as part of the debate negotiations Trump should insist that Clinton - or anyone else of questionable gender identity, like say, Warren - must agree to stay out of the Men’s room, even if they have transitioned before the debate!

Trump has close to 20 million social media subscribers. One message sent gets to 40-60 million people in a matter of hours. Trump can reply plenty fast.

In 3 months he will have close to 25 million social media subscribers where a message can get diffused to 50-75 million subscribers.

No way Trump gets stifled.

Yes, our nation would have been spared untold damages. RINO complicity must not be forgotten!
