Trump wants her to come out and fight because that’s when she becomes vulnerable. Now, get ready for the counter-punch
With her ‘alt-right’ conspiracy speech in Reno, Hillary Clinton has served notice she’s ditching her ‘run-out-the-clock’ strategy’ in favor of smearing Donald Trump and his core of ‘radical’ followers as dark, dangerous bigots. The question is why the change in tactics. Just this week, the Politico quoted Clinton insiders as saying “they can ride out” the latest email and Clinton Foundation controversy by running out the clock until the election. They see the poll numbers and have decided it’s over. All she has to do is stay under the radar as much as possible, make no mistakes, and let her media PR department destroy Trump. So what happened?
In her Reno speech Clinton said Trump is “taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over the Republican Party.” Hello Breitbart, Drudge, Alex Jones etc. Liberal reporters will take her attack on ‘fringe’ alternative conservative media as their cue to produce stories that validate Clinton’s warnings about the ‘Trump effect’.
“It’s [Trump and his supporters] a nasty virulent strain of something, I don’t even know what it is other than it isn’t us, it isn’t what we believe in. And it’s not what the Constitution says and it’s not what conservatives...believe in.”
Who is "we," you fake, phony, fraud? Ryan has no ideological or moral standing in defining "conservative" OR who "we" are. It's like Judas chastising the other Apostles.
Paul Ryan can attempting to demonize the future President and the 60+ million who will be voting for him, but he's still on the outside looking in.
It’s obvious Trump play for the Black American vote is starting to pay off and alarmed Hillary enough to force her to abandon the hide and wait it out strategy.
I wrote this yesterday:
Lots of possible reasons for this over-the-top speech.
#1: More revelations about emails, Clinton Foundation, etc; for instance the fact that 50% of all dignitaries Clinton had meetings with during her tenure as SecState were donors to her fund. Something that neither she nor the MSM would like to discuss.
#2: Health issues, true or not, the fact that the questions about her health have started to spread not only through the most distant reaches on the internet, but now also in MSM makes it imperative for her to either answer in a trustworthy fashion (stop laughing, you in the back), or direct the discourse elsewhere. (Even if her problems are only mild back-, hip-, or knee-pain the optics compared to Trump would be/is very bad.)
#3: Trump’s outreach to the African-American community was something the Democrats probably never had counted on. Problem is that not only did Trump make a very good case for himself, but even if it is only a minority of the AA who will leave the Democrat plantation, I think it puts a spanner in the Democrat get-out-the-vote effort. Previous elections the Democrats could count on every voter in the inner-cities they got from the couch to the voting booth was one of their votes. Trump’s gambit threatens that whole strategy.
I think that is three reasons why this speech had to come now, and why it was so way over the top. Add to these issues the fact that maybe the Democrat internal polling does not look as good as the MSM-polls, and you have a campaign in dire straits.
I noticed this myself. I don't think it will work this time because there is too much media not controlled by the leftists: Drudge, Breitbart, Washington Times, many others.
I have never heard of “alt-conservatism.” Members of the alt-right don’t consider themselves conservative, since hacks like Ryan have destroyed that label. What has Paul Ryan ever conserved anyway?
Hillary accused Trump of being a conspiracy theorist and then proceeded to weave her own conspiracy theory—which basically was that Putin had infiltrated the right wing extremists through alt.right websites and was controlling her opposition (and therefore Donald Trump).
Why would she make such a wacky charge?
My view, based on my many years of studying Hillary, is that she does not listen to her campaign staff. She must rule—absolutely, totally, without question.
That is why she reminds us of that dead German guy with the mustache in the bunker.
Alt.right is a minor influence on today’s Internet—well, at least it was until Hillary introduced the world to it.
I admit I had never heard of it.
The alt.*** refers to old newsgroups like the old alt.clinton.whitewater newsgroup of the 1990s where we (yeah, I was there and active) exposed Clinton scandal after Clinton scandal after Clinton scandal. We investigated the Vince Foster case and concluded he was murdered with an ice pick (no bullet ever found, in case you didn’t know).
We found out that the Clintons had a meeting with their staff where they had a list of scandals—and we got the list—and there were dozens of potential scandals we had never heard of at the time!
At the time these guys were workaholics—they were running so many coverups at the same time they had trouble keeping track of them.
So Hillary is stuck in the 1990s—imho “.alt.right” is _her_ idea. It is her belief that “they” (some of _us) :-) are out there causing more trouble.
The truth is we old fogies no longer control the narrative—a new media-savvy smart, tough young breed has taken our place on the Internet and in the Trump campaign.
Hillary is out of her league—and she will not know what hit her.
It is hard for us old-timers to change—it takes an open mind and a lot of effort.
Hillary has a closed mind and her ill health prevents her from much effort.
Watch the Repubs run and hide from the debate on the black inner city. Too scary and much easier to fight Trump.
Pray America wakes
The point of the “alt right/conservative” labeling is to lump all opposition to the progressive corportist agenda in with the nuttiest White Supremacists. Then marginalize us and our issues so they can ram through TPP/Amnesty. Game. Set. Match. That’s the Clinton-Ryan game plan, anyway.
Heard Beck yesterday claiming the Alt-Right was a Nazi organization yesterday. Apparently they are into genocide according to him.
What has Paul Ryan ever conserved anyway?

The ONLY thing that matters to the Uniparty is preventing the citizens from reversing 30 years of bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of immigration laws.
Interesting Hillary is duplicating the lack of ideas of Hollywood!
What next Hillary dress up as a Ghostbuster?
The meme from Trump needs to paint Hillary as out of ideas and resorting to race baiting instead.
A continuing sign of her corruption both overt and clandestine.
Paint her as yesterdays tired old race-baiting by a party out of ideas promoting fear instead. A party that has been in power for 8 years
Goldwater didn’t fight back. That’s not Trump’s style. He is and will continue to fight Crooked Hillary the Bigot and Islam’s Whore.
You can’t run out the clock when you are losing!
[Watch the Repubs run and hide]
They’ve already run away. The only time you here a peep out of them is when they bash Trump.
They are pathetic caricatures of themselves.
Hillary knows she and the Clinton legacy are damaged goods, so now this is her only path to the White House. She needs to make Trump look worse than her. This move will blow up in her face. She has the same built in advantages that Bubba and Obama had when they ran for president with the media and nearly half the American voting public in her pocket, but she doesn’t have the personality nor likability of either of those two and her opponent isn’t some cream puff like Bob Dole, Old Man Bush, McCain, Romney, or Rick Lazio. I’m sure in the MSM newsrooms all over the country you have the editors all whining that “Bubba and Obama never had to make them work this hard” to get them elected.
Yep, I agree with everything you said.
The fact of the matter is, if Hillary hadn’t seen something bad in the latest polling she wouldn’t have come out of hiding.
True that, but Trump’s turn towards the inner city problems was brilliant. Must have caused a lot of late night candles burning in the Democrat HQ.
a) Goldwater was no Donald Trump. He lacked the charm, energy, and crusading bullet-points of the Trump juggernaut
b) Back in 1964 there was a Leftist monopoly on ALL TV Media, and most print media; Goldwater was up against JFK's Legacy, Johnson's Propaganda Machine, and the Establishment GOP -- all lined up against Goldwater
c) Once a political game-plan is sussed-out, the antidote is easy for Team Trump.
In Hitlery's case, what's clearly evident to many is that she and her sickly campaign cannot match the Trump campaign's energy, optimism, AND its war mode and momentum.
