Hillary’s Issue-Free Campaign
Lifezette.Com ^ | Updated 4 August 2016 | Edmund Kozak

Hillary Clinton is running a campaign devoid entirely of any message other than “don’t vote Trump.”

With the aid of a complicit media, the Clinton campaign is successfully turning the entire 2016 campaign into a referendum on Donald Trump’s personality. Most campaigns at least make some effort try to convince the public to vote for their candidate, alongside hitting their opponent — however, the Clinton campaign is putting all of its efforts into convincing the public not to vote for Trump.

Aside from the usual progressive platitudes about free stuff and the same tired talking points the Democrats have abused to the point of utter meaninglessness, Clinton’s mediocre nomination acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention was little more than an anti-Trump tirade.

Trump can defeat that tactic by being the only candidate to run on substance. That doesn’t mean he stops attacking Hillary’s documented corruption and cfiminality. It just means he also condemns her complete lack of ideas, while describing his own plans in detail.

That forces Killary to either come up with her own plans (which Trump can then debunk) or continue to indulge in her usual character assassination. Which tactic looks more presidential?

Her taxes gaffe is right up there with the shutting down the coal miners earlier...

Trump and his team need to jump all over this now.

Aid of the media, who is part of the very rich protected class living inside the bubble and their politicians who are protected. All else suffers loss of life, limb, liberty, income. But so what, they have theirs.

I think you have the right idea, but you won’t get much mileage out of the “trashing our heritage” tack. That’s exactly what her supporters WANT her to do. Instead, ask them how doing that benefits the average citizen.

How does letting men into girls’ locker rooms make our children safer? How does empowering homosexuals protect the rights of religious objectors? How does killing unborn children protect families? How does killing the coal and oil industries protect working-class jobs? How does taking guns away from law-abiding citizens make streets safer? How does importing thousands of poorly vetted “refugees” and “undocumented immigrants” make America stronger?

Don’t put words in their mouths. Let them bleat the talking points back at you, but keep digging for the real answers. They’re complete nonsense. To defend them is to embarrass oneself.

But she did say she was fighting fighting fighting. So that is an issue.

And that is more about “Hillary’s issues” than anyone other than Huma wants to know. And Huma gets hazard pay from the MB.

The lady’s been around the world and still has zero gravitas. Everything she touches turns to disaster but heck, she doesn’t care as long as her and Billy Jeff get to plunder and get rich.

Bottom line:

It doesn't matter what H! says or doesn't say, no one will believe it anyway.

Even her most ardent supporters can't name anything she's done, either as Senator or SoS.

But she has a vagina. Not sure I believe that either.

More likely it is the “cave to Hell” rather than a vagina.

Any of Hillary's actual supporters--as opposed to those she is trying to scare off of voting for Trump--or those who will knee jerk vote for the side that is buying them through the misuse of power--are not likely to vote for anyone else. The essential foundation for the campaign is not the social issues you want to emphasize, but the broader appeal to put America First, as the Constitution requires--indeed America only, so far as the delegated powers (except for punishing piracy).

Pointing out, in every way possible, that the whole Obama/Clinton priority is trashing our heritage, is the way to maximize the basic Trump vote. Your focus on specific examples of that trashing is certainly part of the ongoing follow-up; but the first step must be to demonstrate the underlying chasm--get all real Conservatives back into the fold..

Why do you use the Latin term, making it sound like a medical discussion. It is better English to use the Anglo-Saxon—just as Shakespeare did in Hamlet.
