The GOP nominee is finally—relentlessly—arguing that Clinton is unfit for office.
Think of it as the moment when Donald Trump truly learned to throw a (campaign) punch. It came about three weeks ago, amid the latest swirl of stories on the Clintons’ ethics. Hillary Clinton had recently blamed her private email server on Colin Powell. Judicial Watch had released more emails that showed the Clinton Foundation begging the State Department for special favors on behalf of its donors. Bill Clinton had floated laughable plans to reform the foundation.

Go, Trump!
Go Trump Go!
Bill Clinton had floated laughable plans to reform the foundation. If elected they promise to stop being criminals
Hillary Clinton blamed her private email server on Colin Powell.
Hillary Clinton blamed her gagging and hacking on Donald Trump.
Hillary Clinton animal rights protestors on Donald Trump.
Excuses, excuses, excuses.
Hillary Clinton’s problems are the result of Hillary Clinton.
I still remember the campaign of 1980. Ronald Reagan kicked off his post-Labor Day campaign in New Jersey overlooking Manhattan across New York harbor to the shock and ridicule of many. As if Reagan had a prayer to win in New Jersey or New York. But he took both states and a whole lot more.
Pollsters were not friendly to Reagan either. They still had Carter up 9 points in October!
Gee. Bush I didn’t attack the democrat’s ethics and abilities. And lost.
Gee. Dole didn’t attack the democrat’s ethics and abilities. And lost.
Gee. Bush II didn’t attack the democrat’s ethics and abilities. And damn near lost.
Gee. Bush II didn’t attack the democrat’s ethics and abilities. And almost lost, but also lost the Senate, then lost the House two years later.
Gee. McCain praised the “divine” democrat. And lost.
Gee. Romeny didn’t attack the democrat’s ethics and abilities. And lost.
Gee. Bush III, and Romney, and Pataki, .... and didn’t attack the democrat’s ethics and abilities. And lost.
Do you see any pattern here?
It’s as easy as one, two, three, four.
The jab, the cross, the hook and finally the uppercut.
She also blames her email fiasco on her underlings.
Trump is in it to win it, not to just go through the motions as McCain and Romney did.
I think McCain actually said that people shouldn’t be afraid of an Obama win. Was he threatened or bribed — we’ll never know.
But Trump is a true fighter, which is exactly what we need to win and “make America great again.”
Asspress blamed Powell again just today.
My dream team would be for Denzel, Cuba and Dr. Ben come out this week and fan across this nation with positive message for Inner Cities.
Trump didn’t “finally” learn anything. He knows what he has to do when. Other people think they need one tactic from beginning to end. Trump has an instinct for this. He does what has to be done to win the primaries then takes care of business at the appropriate times. He doesn’t waste time firing at the temporarily wrong targets or scattergun all of them all the time. Everyone else is second guessing him cringing when he isn[t doing what they think he should be doing. He is not using the time and pro tested techniques. He is, instead, winning.
The big deal here is that this comes in the Wall Street Journal.
I hope Mr. Trump can avoid distractions with political lightweights, and stay focused on Hillary’s many character flaws and her incompetence.
I remember watching the townhall when he said that. I was in shock. He said that to a woman that was concerned about obama.
It’s about time he focuses on what matters, namely crushing Crooked, considering that people are starting to absentee vote in some states.
And last night she defended the vulnerability of her server by pointing out that the State Dept. did get hacked. Wow, I felt better.
Pollsters were not friendly to Reagan either. They still had Carter up 9 points in October!
The Trump campaign pounced. It began blasting out every new revelation about—or editorial-board comment on—Mrs. Clinton’s shady dealings. It unleashed surrogates, in particular the former prosecutors Rudy Giuliani and Chris Christie, to make the legal case against her. Mr. Trump devoted a significant portion of a speech in Texas to detailing the lies she had told about her server, and the pay-to-play allegations at the foundation. Within a few days the campaign had cut a web ad hitting her for “corruption” and calling the foundation a “slush fund.”
Mrs. Clinton’s slip in the polls is a direct result of the latest flood of scandal. Less noticed is the skillful way that Team Trump is making those hits land. The Republican nominee’s campaign has been doing more right lately, though nothing more so than this. When it comes to the dissection of Mrs. Clinton’s misdeeds, the Trump campaign is firing on 16 cylinders.
If attacking your corrupt opponent on corruption seems obvious, it wasn’t to Mr. Trump for a long time. The GOP nominee is a scrapper, and part of his draw was the expectation that he would speak bluntly about the Clintons. He did, though as voters would soon realize, only in fits and incomplete starts.
