o, for the umpteenth time in the last several weeks, Hillary Clinton’s campaign is attempting to explain to Americans how she will take on wild card Donald Trump in the general election. And for the umpteenth time, she’s failing. A woman with all the charm of a 1980s-era withered plastic sofa cover will try to outplay a man who got famous being likeable on television. And she’ll do it with policy! POLICY, I TELL YOU!
According to The New York Times today, Hillary’s speech today in San Diego will target Trump over his foreign policy incoherence:
The argument will include specific criticism of comments Mr. Trump has made about rethinking the United States’s support of NATO; his proposal to allow Japan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia to acquire nuclear weapons; his vow to temporarily bar Muslims from entering the United States; and his pledge to advance the use of torture and kill the families of suspected terrorists. But Mrs. Clinton will also invoke her experiences as secretary of state, including in 2011 when she supported President Obama’s decision to send Navy SEALs on a raid in Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden, to make the case that Mr. Trump does not have the temperament to make such decisions.
Epic, epic fail.
Now, Hillary’s right about Trump’s foreign policy. It’s disastrous – at last what he’s expressed of a foreign policy. But Hillary’s own record is even more disastrous. And trying to stand on the body of Osama Bin Laden to push her election bid reeks of inauthenticity – and, what’s more, trying to make the case that Trump doesn’t have the temperament to kill Bin Laden is absolutely asinine. If there’s one thing Trump does have the temperament to do, it’s tell the military to kill people. Hell, the man even says he’ll have the military violate all basic standards of morality and law and purposefully murder family members of terrorists.
Beyond that, Hillary outhawking Trump doesn’t help her – it hurts her with Bernie supporters. And hawkish Republicans don’t trust Hillary, not after her disastrous dealings with Syrian dictator Bashar Assad and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
That’s the problem for Hillary: her record is so terrible that Trump always has an easy comeback.
Take, for example, Hillary’s twitter feed. Here are some of her tweets, along with quick one line responses Trump could dump on her:
(VIDEO-AND TWEETS-AT-LINK)
This is true of all of your Democratic voters.
Hillary is endlessly vulnerable. Furthermore, she has no angle of attack on Trump: all of his foibles are doubly true of her. Which is why she’s in trouble.
Now, he still has a massive statistical hill to climb in this election cycle. She’s leading him in all the swing states, she hasn’t consolidated her Bernie base yet, and she’s about to unleash President Obama to prod minority voters to get behind her. But she’s incompetent. Deeply incompetent. And Trump is an attack dog par excellence. At the very least, this is going to be a combustible election.
It really disgusts me that the state-controlled, commie lib “media” are now trying to pass off Clinton as the second coming of the Virgin Mary. Somebody needs their asses kicked.
I see Shapiro still has some lingering butthurt.
News to Ben...Trump was famous long before the TV show.
So... is PajamaBoy Ben Shapiro toning down his #hateTrump?
Break classification rules for the public’s benefit, and you could be exiled. Do it for personal benefit, and you could be President.

A single word from Trump will shut-down Hillary! and her foreign policy attacks: Benghazi.
In order to keep the Commie Wench from the White House, we need to contact every friend and relative and make sure that they vote for Trump and not “her witchiness”...
But Hillary's voice takes it to a whole 'nother level.
The condensension. That monotone nasal droning.
I seriously don't know how anyone can follow her, let alone enthusiastically support her.
Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard.
You're good at finding pieces by idiots like Shapiro. "Hillary is so bad I may have to reluctantly support Trump, even as I talk about what a dunce he is". That is very helpful--not. How about looking for something from Phyllis Schlafley or Jeff Sessions once in a while. Someone who thinks.
Why don’t you? Are you able to post threads? There’s only one person here who can tell me what to post and his screen name isn’t Defiant.
The vast majority of the American people think Benghazi is a guy named Ben Ghazi. They’re clueless.
He says Trump is incredulous that she'd lead with a subject, foreign policy, where she's been such an abject failure. He runs through a partial list. Whichever presstitute asked for his remarks is dumbstruck.
I know someone who ‘just loves her to pieces.’
I bite my lip to stay calm.
Yes, her speeches and her speech patterns are cringe inducing. I have no idea how anyone thinks she will make a good president.
A ‘speech’ of one-liners, insults and no specifics... the media HATES candidates who do that!
LOL!
No, not ‘their’ candidates.
“I have no idea how anyone thinks she will make a good president.”
They are those who stand to either get $$ from her or give $$ to her for our State and nuclear secrets.
Every Ben Shapiro attack failed too.
Trump is playing chess (well), Hillary is playing tic-tac-toe (poorly).
when she supported President Obama’s decision to send Navy SEALs on a raid in Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden,
Yeah, Hillary, Trump would not have had the courage, decisiveness, and will to make that call. I think this is your new campaign slogan.
Don’t forget the laugh track.
