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.

#1.Team Trump needs to find or use a handful of virulent anti American / anti capitalism quotes from Saul Alinsky.

#2.Then show or tie this exact ideological connection with Hillary Rodham Clinton quotes which dove tail.

#3.Place them into the exact same national adds, and thereby shed light and prove the Alinsky/Obama/Clintons agenda in powerful sequences!!!

Obama and Hillary were more than just friends with Alinsky.

Hillary was particularly close and personal with Alinsky.

There is much more than just a handful of incriminating personal letters.

They were up to real bad stuff at home and around the world.

From the article:

Mostly made up??? What part of the story wasn't made up?

“Trump is improving as a candidate”

I suppose so. He was interviewed on the NBC news this evening and was accused of saying some things that couldn’t be proved or appeared to be false. He admitted on some that they “might be true”.

I wondered why Trump would stretch the truth. Could he have done it to “dare” Hillary to question him on these subjects which are probably dangerous for her to even talk about?

I can’t wait for the debates!

Trump needs to balance his reasoned attacks on the PIAPS with an emotionally moving vision of his future America. He needs to remember that a large number of voters are emotionally driven and thus needs to keep an emotional appeal as part of his campaign. BTW I loved his attack on the PIAPS. Well done.

He’s got to broaden his message to take out all the libs, though. I do not believe Hilary will be the candidate - she’ll graciously step aside at the Convention (hopefully in an orange jumpsuit) and Biden/ Liz will jump in to the rescue.

The point is not that this is true; as political analyst David Gergen said on CNN, the speech was slanderous.

To me this sums up the Democraps response to everything Trump says about the Obamas and the Clintons. If it's true, how can it be slanderous.
