Mrs. Clinton Portrays Lazio as Bully and Derides His Tax Plan
The New York Times ^ | 9/19/2000 | Dean E. Murphy

At ease in a Manhattan hotel ballroom filled mostly with Democratic women, Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday made a broad appeal for women to support her Senate campaign, casting her Republican opponent, Representative Rick A. Lazio, as a bully in last week's debate and dismissing his tax plan as misleading and mathematically unsound.

Most pointedly, however, Mrs. Clinton exploited an opportunity before a friendly audience of women to make a concerted attack on Mr. Lazio's debate tactics. Many supporters of Mrs. Clinton said they found Mr. Lazio to be pushy and disrespectful during the debate in Buffalo -- bullying her in a way that he would not have bullied a male opponent.

(snip)

Then she complained of having to share her lectern with an overly aggressive Mr. Lazio. (He approached her at the end of the debate and urged her to sign a document he said was a promise not to raise or spend any more soft money.) She recalled an old law school maxim that lawyers without the law or facts behind them usually ''pound on the table'' as a distraction.

Meant to have a (Flashback -2000) tag in the title but it got left out when I switched where I was posting this.

The same sheeple will be easily fooled this time, when Hillary goes into debate and plays the victim card yet again.

It won't work with Trump - he won't stop.

The video was priceless, how she put on self-righteousness when called on signing such a pledge, and just kept repeating her accusations despite the turn of events.

Muddy the waters.

She speaks a lot to the swing voters, misleading them and playing to what she characterizes to them as “the obvious.”

I think Trump will drive the Clintons absolutely nuts.

Hillary will be drinking so much she may need a liver transplant during campaign season.

If a FULLY-CLOTHED MAN approaching her on a DEBATE STAGE to merely SIGN A DOCUMENT was “INVADING HER SPACE,” how is it all right to allow MEN in the LADIES’ ROOM?!

“Crooked Hillary” is here to stay. One of Scott Adam’s “verbal kill shots”. How does she fight that? “I am not a crook!”? Even liberals know she’s crooked. When I’ve talked to liberals about her they don’t even try to pretend she isn’t, just deflect with “they all are”, “that doesn’t mean she wouldn’t be a good president”, or some such.
