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.

No doubt whatsoever. They HAVE to do this, they have to react to every eye-twitch and toss dirtbombs. It’s all they got, but even it it wasn’t they can’t stop themselves. This is the lying pathological left in full view for those who can see it.

I super like this dynamic: how Trump’s early super-aggressive “reactivity” to slights got the other side sharpening their dirtbomb-throwing skills, thinking they had the exclusive franchise and that throwing dirtbombs is and will always be immutably effective. Time passes. Now, the other side has gleefully climbed back aboard the “all-dirtbomb, all the time” train, but now Trump (whether under coaching or by realization) has backed off the dirtbombs a little) and has gained a higher status by picking the very composed Pence, using the T-Prompter, and now (and I think going forward) really, really focusing on HRCs lying.

I really, really hope the Trump campaign comes to the realization that finally, at long last, the tunnel underneath the stupid neuron-challenged bumper-stickerism of the left (war on women, racist, bigot) has been dug. And that is this astonishing and pathological addiction to lying that is HRC. Because this isn’t one of those “I’ve worked all my life to help the American people horses**t” she spouts at every opportunity. The whole world saw her lie and lie big and not give the slightest crap about lying except whether she got away with it. And good for her that she did, but nobody and I mean nobody thinks they would ever get away with 1/10th of what she pulled. This is IMO a fatal emotional wedge issue and I think this peels off those bumper stickers provided Trump et al hammer on it without mercy.

I doubt anything sticks to Pence until he has had a chance to speak for himself. If Pence disappoints, then the opposition talking points will start to stick.

Oh, you are just terrible or was that me for laughing.

I'm sure the democrats in Indiana were already collecting all of this. Pence's gubernatorial opponent would have been more than happy to share his research.

Also, Pence was mentioned as a possible candidate last year. I wouldn't put it past Clinton to have gathered data on all possible opponents early on.

“I wouldn’t put it past Clinton to have gathered data on all possible opponents early on.”

Do you really think that there is a possibility that the Clinton campaign would have conducted opposition research on possible opponents?

She [Hillary] tends to wear long flowing jacket type tops, which help cover what’s going on down below.

Those Mao Tse Tung tunics have to be custom made.

Notice how the media avoids non-flattering camera shots of her massive derrière and cankles?

They make sure to show shots of her from the waist up or shots where she cannot be viewed in all her greatness.

A comment at Powerline, concerning Hildabeast: And, to put the most charitable construction on her words, the woman is an idiot. Andy McCarthy records, and places in context, Hillary’s first comment on the latest terrorist attack in France:

Let’s be clear: Islam is not our adversary. Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.
