I have an interesting question. Should Trump get a lot of credit for hammering the Hillary corruption issue? What if someone like Mitt or Jeb or Kasich or Rubio had been the nominee? Would they have pursued Hillary as tenaciously as DJT?
Rubio warns GOP to stay silent on WikiLeaks hack
Jeb and Romney would have done same, keep illegally acquired material out of race.
Trump hammered Hillary with wikileaks and she should be in prison everyday.
You are right. Cruz would have attacked it, but he would have been ineffective.
No, they would have rolled over and let Hillary become President. We already saw Mittens do it for Obama.
Welcome. I think so.
Really.
“..I state this question honestly. I originally was a Cruz/Thompson supporter. I have been drug grudgingly, kicking and screaming over to the DJT camp. Now Im wondering if Trump wasnt the best candidate after all. Who else would have had the courage to directly confront the Clinton crime apparatus?..”...isn’t that the truth. SO far he’s the only one to run who has “two hanging”....had this race been Mittens or Cruz we’d be seeing how both would be losing the “who’s got the biggest” to Hillary.
Jeb and Magic Underwear would’ve called the FBI sexist
Little Marco would’ve ignored it
Johnny Pancakes would’ve offered hugs to all beta males
What they’ve already done — lose. This is out likely BECAUSE they’ve lost.
The loser era might finally be coming to a close. Judging by the intensity at the Trump rallies it will come to a close at some time later if not now.
They would have apologized for the sexist, misogynistic attacks on Hillary Clinton.
Wet their Depends!
They would send a “Hang in there” tweet to Hillary.
They would say that they consider Clinton a friend but disagree with her on the issues.
There is a slim chance Rubio might have gently raised the issue. But most likely they all would have said, “The FBI closed the book on this. I’m not going to get into the dirt trying to reopen a closed issue that would only stir up hard feelings. Republicans fight like gentlemen. It is for the good of the country, don’t you know.”
Being a coward is quite easy in the short run.
It would have been along the same lines as McCain’s “decent man” comments about Obama. And probably for the same reason McCain said it; their paid consultants would have told them to. And regardless, the media would have still attacked the Republican candidate just as viciously.
Trump is my hero! ok, OUR hero! :)
He meets the enemy head on and doesn’t flinch.
Mit showed us with bozo how he would respond.
Jeb would have run home to mommy.
I suppose McCain might have suspended the campaign for a few weeks.
Hilda would have a 20 point lead and we WOULD HAVE two new progressive supreme court justices
People say that Trump should focus on the economy, but that’s all Romney discussed. Not in the same way Trump does though.
They would do nothing as they have done along with most of the republican party who have criticized Trump while saying nothing about Clinton the criminal.
Call a 2pm press conference yesterday, apologize for the US rule of law, and drop out of the race
Rubio is the example. He said the emails and Wikileaks should not be read or discussed since they were obtained illegally. He, like Mittens and Jeb, is more afraid of being outed himself than exposing the underbelly of Democrt politics.
