Hillary Clinton Was Ready to Pounce on Trump's VP
CNN ^ | 7/16/16 | Chris Moody

Posted on 07/16/2016 9:05:34 AM PDT by ek_hornbeck

Hillary Clinton might have been more prepared for Donald Trump's vice presidential rollout than Donald Trump. In the crucial moments after Trump announced he had chosen Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate with a tweet on Friday, Clinton's campaign sprang into action, while Trump's team missed several opportunities to capitalize on its own news and be the first to frame the narrative around the new partnership.

Within 15 minutes of Trump's initial tweet, Clinton responded with a video outlining a point-by-point case against Pence.

Until her special order of industrial strength, stop-leak Depends arrives, she’ll stay away from any debates.

The Clinton campaign, to be able to produce all those videos about Pence, must have had some inside information that Trump was going to select Pence.

It all makes one wonder, just how did Hillary know so far in advance that Trump was going to pick Pence.

Being that Trump kept the Pence pick a secret, right up until the announcement, this can only mean that Hillary must have spies infiltrating the very top levels of Team Trump.

I sure hope Trump is able to identify the spies and tell them that they are fired.

“I’ve never been swayed to vote for or against a candidate based on the VP pick, and I doubt anyone else is either.”

One of the main reasons I could bring myself to vote for McCain was his VP pick.

Clinton has huge monetary resources and staff.

I’d bet they produced material on at least a dozen potential VPs to be ready for any announcement.

Pence was being touted weeks ahead so easy to see that he was one of them.

Hillary was only able to waddle for 4 blocks in the recent NYC gay pride parade. She is in bad bad health. So far the MSM is shielding her.

I’m sure her team has a video for each of the possible VP picks.

Just reported on FNC that her thighness met with Warren, Hickenlooper, and Juan Castro today trying to narrow down her pick.

Trumps team is digging through all the many statements, policies of each of these, I am sure.

Love it to be the 2 hag sisters together. All of hag #2’s talks about evil Wall St. with all the money falling from the sky that hag #1 and her guy, Bill earned (was given) from WS.

Yes, Pence’s name was out there, but the Trump campaign kept the pick Too Secret until the moment of Trump’s announcement.

The Clinton campaign, to be able to produce all those videos about Pence, must have had some inside information that Trump was going to select Pence.

Everybody in the world with internet service knew about it Thursday and IIRC Trump had an ad out featuring James Comey within a couple of hours of his press conference.

The Clintonistas must be deeply disappointed that he didn't "go with his gut" and pick Christie or Newt. Either one of them would have required raising the Titanic to carry all of their baggage. Pence is fine -- it won't cost Trump any votes or win him any. Trump has spent $0.00 on ads so far so if she wants to burn off even more money attacking a VP candidate who nobody cares about, it sounds good to me.

It was written ahead of time. The only thing missing. (Insert name here).

That’s true. Even though we would never ever have voted for Obama, many of us here voted for McCain only because of his VP pick.

I’m not surprised.

I think I’ve seen her waddle along at campaign appearances too.

And we have been told that the media is not allowed to show her boarding her airplane. Apparently that is not a pretty sight.

Yes, I think she has health problems.

And Bill looks terrible nowadays. I would not be surprised to see Bill Clinton pass away soon.

Every time the Clinton team tries to attack Trump they just say things that make people want to vote for him

Is that Hillary’s belly button showing through?

Ya, Hillary wears Mao jackets, and wears jacket tops which are long, almost down to knee level. I’m sure she does that to hide what’s going on downstairs. She has really packed it on down there for some reason.

Maybe I’m imagining things, but I think you can see the outline of something else too.
