Trump played a clever trick when he called Clinton’s bathroom visit ‘disgusting’
The Washington Post's Wonkblog ^ | December 22, 2015 | Zachary A. Goldfarb

On Monday night, Donald Trump made his latest polarizing comment, saying it was “too disgusting” to talk about Hillary Clinton’s use of the bathroom during the last Democratic debate and that she had got “schlonged” by Barack Obama when she lost to him in the 2008 Democratic primary.

Trump was surely talking off-the-cuff in his usual style — and the comments were criticized as offensive and sexist — but it was another example of his mastery in exploiting the psychological biases of conservatives who see much to dislike in today’s society and express support for Trump in the polls.

In fact, a growing mass of academic research has shown that conservatives have a particular revulsion to “disgusting” images. In this line of thinking, Trump’s decision to describe Clinton, one of the most disliked people by conservatives, as a “disgusting” figure would have been an especially powerful way to rile up his supporters....

They had to wake Hillary up long enough for her to take her bathroom break.
Trump is right about needing a president with energy.

I disagree. The criminal oaf is ready for a dark, dank prison cell.

It would be impossible for Hillary to get schlonged by Obama — he doesn’t have one.

Logically that also means that liberals have an affinity for "disgusting" images.

The disappearing act is a true sign of alcoholics and other types of addicts, especially during times of stress.

"I just had to this, or that", or a multitude of excuses. So is the demand for total irrational privacy in locked bathrooms, bedrooms, or places one could seek isolation.

I would think the mental vision he promoted would produce bipartisan revulsion. How can you take that vision into the voting booth and pull the lever for HRC?

The age is not as important as the genes (if they were machines not people I would say “built quality”)and generally the lifestyle of a person.

Hillary looks to me like hopelessly worn down mentally and physically when compared to Donald.

This reporter is too stupid to realize that Trump says this stuff in order to provoke the press into covering him 24 hrs a day for weeks and weeks to the exclusion of all else... and everyone else.

Zachary H. Goldfarb? How would you like to go through life with that name? No wonder he’s a bitter leftie.

Two Dem debates and two times when she couldn’t answer the bell. They stopped the first debate 7 minutes early and she couldn’t get back to her seat in time in the second debate.
I don’t think she was on throne. I think she was having another transit ischemic attack - TIA - and they needed a private room to give the shot before she stroked out.

We all learned......”Did you go to the bathroom?”....before we left home.
