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.
When will you get over it? Seriously.
Why are you so worried about one poster in a forum of over half a million registered users? Am I really that influential here?
Interesting article. Thanks for posting.
The only response Trump needs to give:
NOW you know what difference it makes!
Hillary has been playing mob boss so long she’s unaware what happens when one takes on the equivalent of Special Forces. She doesn’t know what real Big League stuff is.
The vast majority of the American people think Benghazi is a guy named Ben Ghazi. They’re clueless.

You’re absolutely right, the majority of American people are clueless.
This quote came from the Czech Republic. “The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”
This quote was translated into English from an article appearing in the Czech Republic as published in the Prager Zeitung of 28 April 2010.
The astonishing, damning background of Obama was available per the excellent ‘The Obama File’:

as well as other sources.
Americans chose to ignore it because we were so h*ll bent on proving to the world we’re not racist.
He has almost destroyed us.
We must make this the biggest Republican voter turn-out in history
Stay home, refuse to vote, vote ‘write in’ or third party and it’s a vote for Hillary to finish the job of destroying us.
You dawg, you! :-p
Hey! The Democrat convention hasn’t even started yet! How did you manage to get pix?
I would like to get a transcript of Hillary’s “Trump U” speech and do a global find-and-replace, and swap every time she said “Trump U” and substitute “Whitewater”.....just for fun.
That’s a great quote. Is it for real?
Until he was on a screen, he wasn’t famous to Shapiro.
Business world sharks and moguls are entirely outside of Ben’s bubble.
I’m just curious why you are still, subtly, working against the Republican nominee and therefore giving aid to Hillary. You’re not the only one, but you post a lot more often than most of the others. I think you need to get over your butthurt about your boyfriend’s implosion, and support the nominee. These kind of articles maybe could be posted sometimes to see what GOPe folks are out there saying, but when it is a constant theme on the part of the Cruzers to cast doubt while claiming to be in support, it just makes the job for the rest of us that much harder. The point is to deflate Hillary, not deflate everyone.
Homoerotic innuendo. Reliable as a train engineer’s watch.
Yep, if the shoe fits. NAMTLA.
Coming out here tonight? This should be interesting.
Yes he tweeted it today
I don’t tweet , but did go to the source
No, I’m not the one here who is a charter member of the North American Man-Ted Love Association.
