-- Operatives in Brooklyn had been working with Machado since the summer. They had a video featuring her story ready to go. Cosmopolitan had a photo spread of her draped in an American flag – to go with a profile – in the can. Machado had also conducted an interview with The Guardian that was “apparently embargoed for post-debate release,” according to Vox. And the Clinton super PAC Priorities USA turned a digital ad to highlight the insults by early afternoon.
The Clinton press shop then set up a conference call for Machado to respond to what Trump said on “Fox and Friends.” Speaking with reporters, Machado recounted how Trump “always treated me like a lesser thing, like garbage” and that his new words are like “a bad dream.” She said in a mix of Spanish and halting English that she watched the debate with her mother and daughter and cried as Clinton recounted her story, Ed O’Keefe reports.

This ambush had been months in preparation. Even before Hillary mentioned it in the last few minutes of the debate which was the final piece of the ambush, the story was ready to roll at the New York Times, Cosmopolitan, Guardian etc. Basically the news media had planned this was going to be a story even before the debate. They were just waiting for the cue from Hillary at the debates to release the story in a concerted media effort. They had prepared the entire ambush. So much for media fairness.
Trump still did well in that he showed restraint and did not appear like a nut and that is where he won more voters and Hillary lost voters.
As Gingrich says the Clintons win when they drag their opponents in the gutter.
Trump wins when he stays with the issues. This Machado ambush is blowing up because Machado is worse than the Clintons and she has lost her credibility and her past is coming out everywhere.
Actually he didn’t fall for it.
Yep, just more media hoaxing...
I don’t recall him mentioning her.
I'll suggest a joint press conference with Juanita Broderick and Paula Jones.
Don't make it about Bill -- make it about Hillary enabling Bill by attacking the women accusing Bill.
Is Billy Dale still alive? That's another one.
I'm sure that FReepers can come up with some other suggestions.
The “beauty queen” has quite a background. Warning, while at work, do not do a internet search on “Alicia Machado XXX” or “Miss Venezuela XXX.” Also, she is a baby mama for one of the highest ranking members of the Beltran Leyva cartel in Mexico. Yeah, Trump really stepped in it by saying she had a weight problem.
Trump talked about her last night on Fox -Oreily show
Do it and also release some other stuff....like how hillary tore down women her hubbie assaulted.
He's got to know that she'll lay a trap and he shouldn't react to it.
You mean the Latina beauty queen who tried to kill her ex boyfriend, oh THAT beauty queen..the one that’s baby daddy is a Mexican drug lord..oh THAT beauty queen
He did in subsequent interviews he commented on the Machado incident. That creates fuel. The Clinton strategy is so crystal clear. they have to create ambushes so as not to talk about the issues. If issues are discussed Hillary loses resoundingly.
So this means that ambushes at the debate are months in preparation. They will ambush Pence at his debate. they will ambush Trump at the other 2 debates.
The antidote is to have the Trump team elevate to issues and an ignore in every way the ambushes.
Trump will overcome this. No problem.
This election is over anyway.
Was he asked a question about her?
You mean the Latina beauty queen who tried to kill her ex boyfriend, oh THAT beauty queen..the one that’s baby daddy is a Mexican drug lord..oh THAT beauty queen

That is Trump’s lucky day. The democrats are so desperate that they picked a lousy ambush that actually makes Trump look good.
To use the ambush analogy, he didn’t walk into it. The news stories about her murdering boyfriend (who shot his brother-in-law), her threat to murder a judge, her having sex on TV with one guy while she was engaged to a MLB baseball player, the photograph of “Miss Piggy” with Hillary’s husband (?), etc. are coming out in force.
As Andrew Wilkow stated - and I paraphrase, “If socialism’s so damned great, why did she move from the “Peoples’ Republic of Venezuela” to the US?”
Rush is talking about it now. Trump wrote about her in one of his books and how he tried to help her.
On another thread I googled "Alicia Machado porn" and it sure looks like she has done some raunchy porn. An interview on CNN showed her admitting we have a past.... Turns out that past probably includes threatening a judge and driving a get away car while her boyfriend attempted a murder...... She did NOT deny those accusations even though Anderson Cooper went out of his way to encourage her to say whatever she wanted to.
Looks like Trump can own Hillary again.
He isn’t feuding with her but since when do facts matter to WaPo?
The book was published in 1997.
I loved Hitlery’s sarcastic, “he likes to hang around beauty pageants.” Trump resisted the temptation to list all the females that her husband Bubba likes not only to “hang around,” but to rape and sexually assault, and that she aids him in covering up or deflecting when caught.
No need to go there at this point, I guess. If she snarks at Trump again about the beauty pageants, he should just say that they are part of his business organization and he runs them to make a profit just like his other businesses, while at the same time providing jobs and benefits to the employees of the pageants.
Yeah but they dont report on her past and when they do they say “Oh that was 20 years ago” but Trump said this 20 years ago but THAT is an issue..Liberal hypocrisy
The Compost is full tilt for Hillary.
