Podesta: 'Trump Is Simply Too Big of a Risk'
Weekly Standard ^ | 10:20 PM, May 03, 2016 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 05/03/2016 8:13:34 PM PDT by Milhous

The chairman of the Hillary Clinton campaign, John Podesta, has released a statement framing the general election match-up.

“Fundamentally, our next president will need to do two things: keep our nation safe in a dangerous world and help working families get ahead here at home. Donald Trump is not prepared to do either," Podesta's statement reads.

"Throughout this campaign, Donald Trump has demonstrated that he's too divisive and lacks the temperament to lead our nation and the free world. With so much at stake, Donald Trump is simply too big of a risk.

The correct enemies are all aligning themselves against Trump.

It’ll be nice not to have to hold my nose in the polling booth!

This country has a national debt of $20 Trillion of which the Obama/Hillary Team added. $10 Trillion. Are these Uniparty jerks this stupid? Really?

Trump is “too big a risk,” but Hillary and her secret (and illegal) e-mail server for classified documents isn’t?

I hate the term “working families” ...

Just another liberal left code word for labor union workers, like climate change is their code word for global warming.

“He did a great job on Doral.”

And it has been reported that the course he built in Scotland, along with the hotel and restaurants at the course, is the best in the country. It will likely host the British Open pretty soon. .....I saw a program on the Golf Channel a couple of years ago when he was walking the property with the designer and construction/landscaping people. He was telling them where he wanted the tees and greens, talking elevations, etc. He definitely knows how to make golf resorts successful.

I would not expect a Democrat to say anything else.

We have barely survived the Obama presidency of Obama, Hilary would be the coup de grace.

Yes, there’s a real “risk” that Trump could WIN in November.

Whereas in 2008 and 2012 the GOPee was so much more comfortable with the risk-free situation they foisted upon us — a guaranteed defeat.

You are right but I’m wondering how many of the brain-dead voters will care or understand or even hear about these kinds of things. The history of the Clintons is to skate through all this garbage and come out smelling like a rose. The media will do their best to bury and discredit the opponents of Shrillary. If they have debates then Trump has to avoid doing a Lazio. He can lob grenades from a distance and still score points without “invading her space”. Then she’ll wave her “woman card” and play the victim of a “mean and aggressive male”. You watch, that will be the playbook.

Truly amazing things happen when people take big risks.

The status quo was no longer a safe place. It was ruining the United States. Hillary or Bernie isn’t even a risk.

It is failure before the fact.

Thank you or go away.

Thanks, I am sick of these POS losers calling the nominee a clown.

They richly deserve a boot in the butt!
