Under fire from Democrats and the media for saying Hillary Clinton "got schlonged" in 2008 by Barack Obama, Republican hopeful Donald Trump doubled down.
Claiming a candidate getting "schlonged" is "a commonly used word in politics," Trump refused to back down.
Once again, #MSM is dishonest. "Schlonged" is not vulgar. When I said Hillary got "schlonged" that meant beaten badly.

He even cited NPR using the term in a political context.
NPR's @NealConan said "schlonged" to WaPo re: 1984 Mondale/Ferraro campaign: "That ticket went on to get schlonged at the polls." #Hypocrisy
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 23, 2015For those on TV defending my use of the word "schlonged," bc #MSM is giving it false meaning-tell them it means beaten badly. Dishonest #MSM
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 23, 2015When I said that Hillary Clinton got schlonged by Obama, it meant got beaten badly. The media knows this. Often used word in politics!

Clinton's communications director, Jennifer Palmieri, released a statement condemning Trump's use of the term. Palmieri said the campaign was "not responding to Trump." However, she played the "woman card" and claimed victim status for Hillary by adding while they won't be responding, "everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women should."
We are not responding to Trump but everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women should. #imwithher

Clinton came under fire for saying Trump has been featured in ISIS recruitment videos. Media fact checkers could not find any evidence to support this claim, declaring it a lie.
While Trump is not featured in ISIS recruitment films, Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton, is prominently featured in an ISIS video, where he is called a "fornicator" for his affairs and multiple claims of sexual assault and harassment.
Trump's demands for an apology for the false charge were brushed off by the Clinton campaign.
Rather than address any of the back and forth head on, Clinton used a question about bullying to again attack Trump for his words.
Backing up Trump's claim "schlonged" is a common political term was veteran newsman Jeff Greenfield and New York Times political correspondent Alex Burns.
On further review, Trump is right on this. "I got schlonged" is a commonplace NY way of saying: "I lost big time," w/out genital reference.
- Jeff Greenfield (@greenfield64) December 23, 2015I've heard it for year, -after tennis games, poker games, bad stock bets. I obviously have a classy group of friends. https://t.co/65k9irf2vl

Maybe, just maybe in this holiday ( and Star Wars ) season the Donald should extend his hand graciously to Hillary and say...
May the Shvantz be with you

Near as I can tell Hillary got schlonged sometime in the Spring of 1979, and likely never again afterwards.
Schlong is Chinese for goodbye. Pronounced scharong
Interesting, but not the reference I was making.
From 1952 and 1954 newspaper articles.
I just speak not as an expert but as a sabra Israeli whose families come from France and Poland/Germany.
I vaguely remember you could get fined in Israel for public ally speaking in Yiddish, but maybe it was just a social thing. There was a huge push to speak Hebrew and be a unified people.
I do know my grandmother would yell at my grandfather for speaking Yiddish at home.
Some Haredim refused to speak Hebrew casually, and stuck with either Yiddish or English on the grounds it is a holy language and not fit for “selling cars and cabbages.” They’ve pretty much lost their war except in NYC.
Huma probably has one she bought at a seedy store.
Or perhaps Amazon
ROTFLMAO
He’s that smart, but I don’t think it went down as a trap. He knew it was a term for getting whacked bad and he was able to stay with it because he KNEW he was right. Finding examples would only take a personal response department, and I’m sure he has that.
What it really does, though, is confirm that Hillary is not a New Yorker.
That’s the real injury to her in this. She is a carpetbagger, everyone knows it, and everyone knows her past reported comments about ‘f_cking Jew Bastards” are real.
Trump has a real chance to win New York. He is a real New Yorker. Republicans need to recognize that. If NY comes into Trump’s tally, then that will be game, set, match.
Oy Vey!...............................
My vote is HELLS TO THE YEAH he was trolling them.
