The plot against Donald Trump
New York Post ^ | 10/17/2015 | Michael Walsh

Posted on 10/17/2015 1:11:42 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Back in the days of Richard Nixon and Watergate, Donald Segretti had a word for it.

Unfortunately, I can’t use that word in a family newspaper, but suffice it to say it had something to do with rats and everything to do with a vulgarism for political dirty tricks: using plants and double-agents in order to embarrass a candidate and boost their own man’s chances.

Last week it was GOP front-runner Donald Trump’s turn to get, well, ratfreaked.

A young woman at a campaign event in New Hampshire — self-righteous, hands on hips, a-quiver with indignation — popped up to declare, “I don’t think you’re a friend to women.” (“I knew I shouldn’t have picked her,” Trump immediately joked.)

Oops. Turns out that the woman, identified as Lauren Batchelder, 18, is a college volunteer for the fading candidacy of Jeb Bush.

Actually, the illiterate girl said “You’re not friend to woman.”

If this is what they got, keep it coming.

No plot is needed, by inferring that 9/11 was George Bush’s fault, Trump is doing quite well bringing himself down.

She has the “deer in the headlights” look reminding me of Ms. Hillary. Or is Jeb B. pinching her?

Is Jeb standing on his tiptoes in that picture?

He didn’t say 9/11 was Bush’s fault. Trump said it happened on his watch and that Bush shares some responsibility.

An ignorant and probably stupid punk kid with mush for brains.

The age of maturity and responsibility has been increasing for a long time. We used to say not to trust anyone under 30. Now I think we should not trust anyone under 30.

Is this really surprising to anyone? This kind of b.s. has been going on ever since I can remember, going all the way back to Reagan v. Carter.

The only difference between then and now is that now it's so much easier to research people online to determine they're not really who they say to be.

Yeah, and Trump's numbers and increasing support show it.

Get a clue, what Trump said was accurate, he said that 9/11 happened 'on Bush's watch' and that IS the truth.

The fact is, there were plenty of warning signs that got ignored by both the outgoing Clinton administration -and- the incoming GWB administration, and then there is that little mystery about why GWB went out of his way to make sure that his Saudi friends in the country were all flown out ASAP while other private air traffic was grounded in the days following 9/11.

Inferring is not saying. You can infer what you wish. All he said was that 9/11 happened on GWB’s watch. People were not safe as Jeb said.

There is no reason to support GWB at this time. He was not conservative and not a stellar President.

He was a “nice” person most of the time.

The GOPee, media, talking heads, candidates have been trying since Trump announced in June to get rid of him, but he's not going anywhere...he is to important to a lot of people...and those people are the Legal Voters of America...the people you see turning out in the thousands to hear Trump speak, not to preach, not to talk at them but to talk to them like we have been friends for years and talking over a cup of coffee...

Trump knows what America needs and he knows what the Legal Voters of America wants, the GOPee, media, talking heads, House and Senators have knifed us in the back and now we are fed up with all of it....

WE are running this election, and the above for mentioned have NOTHING to do with it....WE are the thunder your hearing, and the bought and paid for candidates are hearing...that's why they can't go anywhere, they are bought and paid for and can't talk....

Trump can talk, and talk he does about things that are important to US...the Legal Voters of America...he talks about the immigration (what wouldn't have been brought up if he hadn't mentioned it); the wall to keep illegal immigrants OUT; the ‘anchor babies’ that YOU support for 85 years after they are born; the manufacturing jobs that other countries have taken away from YOU, because your House and Senators have their own agendas and can't be bothered by yours; the second amendment; the tax laws, that YOUR senators and House people have taken away from you; the health care of this country for its people, that YOUR senators and house have shoved down YOUR throats; the Veterans of this Country that gives YOU the freedoms that YOU have today are being so badly mistreated; so YOU tell me if you think things in America stinks? OH THEY DO...well then VOTE for someone who has the balls and backbone to something about it instead of -itching about how bad they are and sit home and then -itch some more!!!

GO TRUMP ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE 2016!!!
