The Trump nightmare is real. Clinton could lose this
NJ.com Star-Ledger Editorial Board ^ | May 4, 2016 | Tom moran

In May of 1988 Gov. Michael Dukakis had a 10-point lead over his Republican rival, the same margin that Hillary Clinton has today.

He lost. And she could, too.

Don't comfort yourself too much by looking at the horse race polls. Those are about Donald Trump's weakness, not Clinton's strength. A fresh Washington Post poll shows that only 37 percent of American voters trust her, and the number is dropping -- even before her well-fed opponents have begun to pound the airwaves with slimy attack ads on her.

And let's face it: It is not beyond the imagination to think that a fresh scandal could emerge. Clinton has long been a warrior for good causes, from child poverty to health care.

“How many under 35 know real Hillary?”

How many people under 35 know what real socialism is like - the Soviet Union, the Chernobyl disaster, images of stores with no food to sell, the police beating up Polish union organizers, the Berlin Wall. They don’t know much about that but they do know that Bernie will give them free stuff and organize their lives for them so they won’t be burdened with the freedom to make their own decisions.

One of Chris Christie’s finer moments...his beat down of Tom Moran in 2009. Moran is a total Clymer.

I almost lost my supper over this line. There’s some really delusional people in this country.”

No joke.

She is only a “warrior” for a cause when there are buckets of cash for her, tax-free and cleanly laundered.

“How many under 35 care? That crowd wants Bernie, not grandma.”

How many of the under 35 crowd will even take the time and effort to vote?

FROM THE ARTICLE: It is not beyond the imagination to think that a fresh scandal could emerge. Clinton has long been a warrior for good causes, from child poverty to health care.

Is that a world-class non-sequitur?

All Trump has to do to defeat her is to tell the public who and what she is. She has a past made to order. The media and Washington have protected the Clintons... that’s about to end, and it couldn’t happen to a more deserving despicable person.

Oh I liked that one, but the Mario callout is still my favorite.

We often forget that the Dems will be flamethrowers too. Both Hillary and Trump will have huge negative numbers for this election. Smallest turnout ever. I think this will help Trump. We shall see.

The anti Hillary sentiment among millennials is remarkable. Bernie got something like 80-90% in some primaries. Those numbers are similar to North Koreans support for KimJung Il.

That’s rather my point, assuming Hillary gets the nomination.

“Slimy attack ads”?

Uh, you mean simply stating the truth?

But Moran’s attacks on Trump are what we will hear all election.


Tom Moran is the reporter Chris Christie call “Numb Nuts”, he is a pompous partisan bozo Democrat hack.

I.e., he's your basic run-of-the-mill newspaper reporter.

Sure that wasn’t meant as a Trump/Sanders ticket?
