Trump prepares charge sheet against Clinton
Politico.com ^ | 06/09/2016 | ELI STOKOLS

Donald Trump’s team is hunkering down to draft the charge sheet the presumptive GOP nominee will unveil against Hillary Clinton on Monday, intent on laying out a credible general election argument that leads voters to question her trustworthiness.

Senior campaign advisers beginning to focus on the speech cast it Wednesday as “all about pivoting to the general election.”

But many Republicans worry that the former reality TV star’s penchant for focusing on the Clintons’ personal lives and scandals of years past — he declared them “fair game” months ago as he bulldozed to the finish line of a Republican primary — could undermine the more disciplined case party leaders have been making against Clinton for a year — that the Democrat’s email controversy and actions in Benghazi show she is too irresponsible to be commander in chief.

--------------------------------------

“Trump’s advisers believe Hillary has three major vulnerabilities,” a Trump insider said Wednesday, referring to alleged “epic corruption of the Clinton Foundation” and exorbitant speaking fees, which the source dismissed as “payoffs and bribes”; Clinton’s tenure at the State Department and lingering questions about the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya; her use of a private email server; the nexus between the State Department and the foundation; and Clinton’s efforts to “discredit and intimidate” women who might have been involved with her husband.

Only problem with that is that most people under fifty have no idea who Tweed was or what his claim to fame is.

Edumacation ain’t what it used to be.

Gag me.

These fools have no clue on how to win an important election anymore.

The only people undermining the case against HRC are other Republicans.

Many republicans worry the attack they’ve been preparing for a year, and hasn’t gained traction and won’t go anywhere.

Now, Trump will attack with the fury of Patton and the ruthlessness of General Antonio López de Santa Anna.

I. CAN’T. WAIT.

The really fun part of this speech will be laying out the scam that is the Clinton Foundation. Trump needs to equate this with what William Magear “Boss” Tweed—the most notorious politician in American history—did but on a much larger scale.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I’d bet that 80%-90% of Americans haven’t a clue as to who “Boss Tweed” was.

Trump focuses on EMails, Clinton Foundation, Benghazi... Three things... Hammers away... That is a winning formula

What about the missing $6 billion from the State Dept. while she was in charge?

He should do it on a stage mocked-up to look like the White House Briefing Room with a big eagle crest logo on the podium that reads “Presumptive Attorney General of the United States”.

ABSOLUTELY!!! Trump is a consummate showman.

If I were him, when I announce the charges, I’d have all my key endorsers behind me - Christie, Rudy, Dr. Carson, Sen. Sessions, Newt, etc — “shock and awe”.

Wear a tall hat so no one will notice your point or lack thereof.

The Trump suit against the woman card is that Mrs. Clinton was the enabler, enforcer, and cover up artist regarding Mr. Clinton’s predations and rape against numerous women.

Obviously, the terrible foreign policy results should also be front and center, the Foundation should be front and center, the email/classified server should be front and center,

but,

For the Rino Establishment types to think that the center of Clinton’s campaign is NOT her being a female is to ignore her speech the other night. It was all about being the first female.

The anti-dote to that is her criminal hypocrisy.
