Trump’s Speech About Hillary Was Terrifyingly Effective (says liberal columnist)
Slate ^ | June 22 2016 | Michelle Goldberg

Posted on 06/23/2016 3:33:23 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

In May, Morning Consult polled people with an unfavorable view of Hillary Clinton about why they didn’t like her. Fifty-eight percent said she was too liberal, while 22 percent said she was too conservative. But 82 percent of Hillary-averse voters said she was corrupt, and 88 percent said she was untrustworthy. These are the beliefs that unite her foes across the political spectrum. It’s why Trump, with his devious talent for derisive nicknames, was smart to dub her “Crooked Hillary.”

Some of the examples Trump chose to reinforce this caricature are true. Describing Clinton as “a world-class liar,” he said, “Just look at her pathetic email and server statements, or her phony landing in Bosnia where she said she was under attack but the attack turned out to be young girls handing her flowers, a total self-serving lie. Brian Williams’ career was destroyed for saying far less.” One could quibble about whose exaggerations have been greater, but Clinton’s Bosnia tale really was mostly made up, and it will likely haunt her throughout the campaign.

More good news. Trump is improving as a candidate. He’s staying on message and now going after Clinton where she’s the most vulnerable.

As for the Democrats, IMHO they have used up all their ammunition and have no new talking points to use on him.

"...while 22 percent said she was too conservative."

My lord! Who did they survey? The North Korean Communist Party?

I knew it the moment all of the press went radio silent afterwards.

Usually there would have been an utter meltdown.

“Mostly made up”? Try 100% made up.

To a Democrat, that means “too pro-big business”, which indeed Hillary is.

It has little to do with conservatism.

Trump needs to hammer her on a daily, if not hourly basis. The fact that a “former” Clinton aid stands to rake in MILLION from a deal with Iran needs maximum exposure. I wonder just how much of that money will find its way into the Clinton Foundation.

Trump has to keep her on the defensive, and not give her any breathing room.

Her and her campaign’s response to yesterday’s speech was pathetic, and actually a non-response.

Trump’s speech was so effective that the Today show completely ignored it this morning.

Hold on people.

40% of the Hillary supporters would be in her corner if they found Huma dead in her freezer.

For them, she walks on water.

They never had a damn thing on him to begin with.

Just LIES, obfuscation, and petty leftist BS.

Didn’t fly.

I watch alot of daily TV, and have seen two anti-Hillary ads on TV today, “Paid for by the Make America First Super-Pac” or something similar. This is in central Massachusetts.

“Because She Was A Liar”

Hillary Fired for Lies, Unethical Behavior from Congressional Job: Former Boss

Published February 25, 2014

By: Ed Morrissey (HotAir)

"Dan Calabrese’s new column on Hillary Clinton’s past may bring the curtain down on her political future. Calabrese interviewed Jerry Zeifman, the man who served as chief counsel to the House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate hearings, has tried to tell the story of his former staffer’s behavior during those proceedings for years. Zeifman claims he fired Hillary for unethical behavior and that she conspired to deny Richard Nixon counsel during the hearings:

As Hillary Clinton came under increasing scrutiny for her story about facing sniper fire in Bosnia, one question that arose was whether she has engaged in a pattern of lying.

The now-retired general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who supervised Hillary when she worked on the Watergate investigation, says Hillary’s history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther – and goes much deeper – than anyone realizes.

Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.

Why?

“Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”

This isn’t exactly news. When her lachrymose performance arguably won her New Hampshire, Zeifman tried to tell people about Hillary’s duplicity. Patterico noticed the effort, but few others picked it up. Zeifman wrote at his website:

After hiring Hillary, Doar assigned her to confer with me regarding rules of procedure for the impeachment inquiry. At my first meeting with her I told her that Judiciary Committee Chairman Peter Rodino, House Speaker Carl Albert, Majority Leader “Tip” O’Neill, Parliamentarian Lou Deschler and I had previously all agreed that we should rely only on the then existing House Rules, and not advocate any changes. I also quoted Tip O’Neill’s statement that: “To try to change the rules now would be politically divisive. It would be like trying to change the traditional rules of baseball before a World Series.”

Hillary assured me that she had not drafted, and would not advocate, any such rules changes. However, as documented in my personal diary, I soon learned that she had lied. She had already drafted changes, and continued to advocate them. In one written legal memorandum, she advocated denying President Nixon representation by counsel. In so doing she simply ignored the fact that in the committee’s then most recent prior impeachment proceeding, the committee had afforded the right to counsel to Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas."

Well, she did land in a helicopter in Bosnia. So, those facts are not made up. Just the rest of what happened after the landing.
