Coasting is no longer an option for Hillary Clinton, given Donald Trump's resilience(barf!)
LA Times ^ | 9/9/2016 | Evan Halper

As Donald Trump’s resilience defies his erratic style, thin policy plans and incendiary pronouncements, Hillary Clinton is confronting the reality that coasting to election day is no longer a viable strategy.

Clinton has abruptly switched gears in her effort to lure the vast numbers of suburban swing voters and moderate Republicans who are still undecided. The carefully scripted candidate cautiously grinding it out has given way to a more aggressive street fighter, one who is eager to force Republican voters to face their party’s uneasiness with its own nominee.

“What would Ronald Reagan say about a Republican nominee who attacks America's generals and praised Russia's president?” Clinton said Thursday morning, when she greeted reporters about to board her campaign plane with the type of impromptu news conference she had avoided all summer. It was her third in three days.

What would Ronald Reagan say about Hillary who regularly attacks the police to the point she is getting them killed? What would he say about a Hillary who regularly degrades armed services personnel and gives more benefits to illegals than to wounded warriors? What he say about a democrat party that is no longer enforcing immigration laws? What would he say about an MSM that actively works for the democrat party and lies 24/7? What would he say of a Hillary who is now giving billions to the number one state sponsor of terrorism Iran? Wasn't Bill Clinton who gave nukes to North Korea for peaceful purposes which now has turned into a nuclear arms race? Isn't Hillary Clinton giving Iran nukes for peaceful purposes with pallets of cash for peaceful purposes when everyone knows this is turning into an arms race?

What would Reagan say about all the above?

Trump never trashed America generals. He said they were not doing a good job. Trump never praised Putin in the sense that he was all of the sudden his ally.

The MSM is sick and everyone knows it.

His article is a total editorial and not in the least accurate. Simply amazing.

Wow, sure took a long time to get to that fair and balanced statement.

This is her plan to woo moderate Reps and suburban voters ?

She has a huge problem with Independent voters. Hopefully she’ll ignore them.

How does pointing out that Putin is a more effective leader than Obama equate to “praising” him. He’s just stating the obvious.

Sure looks like Hillary can’t physically campaign for more than a day or two at a time. Trump is literally running rings around here. She is 100% relying on the MSM to carry her across the finish line.

“What would Ronald Reagan say about a Republican nominee who attacks America’s generals and praised Russia’s president?”

Given that the generals are largely hand-picked social experiments in sexual tolerance, and Russia’s president is a quasi-capitalist Christian looking for strength & world stability, Regan would say that the Democrats have screwed up the world pretty thoroughly.

I keep hearing that what is killing Clinton is that she is using a 1990’s playbook against a 21st century candidate Donald Trump. The poll sprouts are starting to show a totally different reality for Trump! A landslide win!

That is the first thought that came to mind. Since the room was 1/3rd empty could it be Trump will get close to 33% of the black vote?

I watched this video on Hillary's health today and it is entirely plausible. Tell me what you think...it's long, but worth it.

"thin policy plans"? Compared to what? Hillary has no policy plans to speak of, just the same old status quo.

Trump has proposed numerous new and creative poicy options to help address the real issues we now face.

Do these left-wing idiots even perform a cursory review their own propaganda before publishing it?

The Revolution is ON!

Vote Trump!

The MSM is sick and everyone knows it.

Is there a more hated entity or institution in this country right now?

This election is as much a referendum on the media as it is a choice between Trump and Clinton.

I can only hope that the anger and disgust we feel fuels a massive turnout.

It's time like this I wish I could be a fly on the wall at campaign headquarters to hear what they are really saying. I assume most campaigns know which way things are going before we the actual results.

I think her Kansas City ho-down probably made it clear it wouldn’t matter much.

Giving a CYA statement, following her awful forum performance the night before, to 10 hand-picked Democrat press lap dogs for 15 min. before they get on her plane is the LA Times version of a stem-winding press conference. Do they realize how pathetic that looks to the vast majority of Americans?

Winning the general election has never been an option for the hag.
