Is Hillary Clinton out of ammo to use against Donald Trump?
By Howard Kurtz Published September 16, 2016
As poll after poll shows the presidential race tightening, Hillary Clinton has already fired most of her heavy artillery at Donald Trump.
She has called him temperamentally unfit, too dangerous for the Oval Office and ignorant about foreign policy. She has said he makes racist statements and that many of his followers are in fact racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic and Islamophobic. She has said he’s built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia. She has denigrated his business record, mocked his corporate bankruptcies and accused him of stiffing small contractors.
What else has she got? How do you stage an October surprise if you’ve gone nuclear in July, August and September? No wonder Democrats are getting nervous.
After all the stuff dumped on Trump by the Hillary camp and the media, he’s tied in the CBS/New York Times poll, trailing by 1 point in a new Fox News poll, and ahead in such crucial states as Florida and Ohio. So what should Clinton do now?
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
1) Refusal to take the bait and address multiple "BIRTHER'!!" charges.
2) MSNBC meme by deranged pro-Hitlery panelists that Trump was NOT invited to black church in Flint after all by the black female pastor; And that after this ambush, he was "nervous" after a bunch of natives began heckling.
That is FUNNY!!! <^..^>
she is now trying to save her base with black females.
sign of panic imo.
Do what the Clintons have always done. Lie. Lie boldly, lie shamelessly, lie constantly.
PROBLEM:
THE HAG has near-zero credibility. Even many of the usual Dem village-idiots have dismissed her a a total BS'er. Her entire campaign has been one giant sh**-storm.
Anyone who's seen that video of her collapse won't ever forget that vivid picture of ill-health. That vid went viral. Never mind her hacking and coughing for the past few months.
But he's straying down the birther path again. He really needs to stop doing things like that.
They still have lots of false stuff, they plan to throw at him.
“One thing that Clinton could do is sell herself as the better choice to the white working-class voters who are defecting to Trump.”
Those pesky “working-class (white) voters”. The 1984 Democrat ticket of Fritz and Tits* had the same problem with the bubba vote as Geraldine was simply hated by them. Clinton is learning the hard way that between 70% and 74% of the voting public will STILL be Non-Hispanic Whites, who despise her (in general) and who are clearly despised by her. No surprise there.
What is incredible is that the GOPe also despises these same ‘lower class’ white voters that they need if they ever want to win an election again and were ready to, once-again, eeek out their 55% of that demographic (of the ones that even bother voting), while trying to get enough crumbs from the minority groups that make up the remainder of the electorate. And once again, the Republicans were on a path to big-time defeat.
So Trump comes in and actually notices that neither party is giving a damn about the concerns of roughly half of the entire voting electorate (i.e., roughly 70% of white voters, with the other whites belonging to special interests, such as gays and feminists). And instead of being praised for such AN INCREDIBLY INGENIOUS approach to trying to win - he is attacked from all sides, from the start, as both sides knew Trump had the formula, and both sides (the Dems and the GOPe), for different reasons, could not allow him to win. Oh well.
*Don’t laugh, that was the description of the Democrat ticket that year going around in the working-class bars of the Midwest, as Reagan was on his way to his 49-state landslide. It will be virtually impossible for working-class whites to ever like Hillary...and the Dems are just now figuring that out. What has to really scare them is that Trump is now starting to work on college-educated whites, which Hillary (for whatever reason) still has a majority of. If Trump can bring them on board, there won’t even be a need for an election.
Once she is lured into the open, however, she will further erode her support. Her public presence always reinforces her negative image. She is not a person made out for a popular election, not that she has any other redeeming traits.
This is where Ted Cruz would have been a disaster as far as messaging, and why Mark Levin doesn't get it. They get too academic, philosophical and preachy on Conservative principals come off as strident and ideological. Reagan had a gift of educating people and being folksy without seeming philosophical. Ideologies are for using ONCE you get into office with other political animals. Anywho that old tired 1980's messaging by the Dems has not worked so far, Trump does not lend himself to being sniped at this way. He's not a DC guy yet and the scare tactics don't work. Drives people crazy Trump is sometimes vague and seemingly contradictory, I call that being necessarily slippery to your enemy.
She’s still got the remnants of the Occupy and BLM thugs to play the violence card in October, imo.
She wouldn’t need ammo if she had a great vision for America. Sane people want to vote FOR a candidate not AGAINST the other candidate.
At this point they (meaning the globalists) are in deep trouble...
They are scared that their plan to destroy western civilization will be foiled. All of their so-called “progress” to that end will be rolled back.
They want the end of the nation-state, the end of money as a store of value, and the end of the sovereignty of the individual.
Rush said it yesterday. I’ve known it for a year.
Its not about Trump. It a movement. And, you can’t defeat a movement by defaming the leader. It bounces off him like plastic bullets.
If she cannot defeat the movement she will lose.
And, she started her first correct attack yesterday by praising how great everything is here in the US. But, she is in a Catch 22. Her loyal supporters hate America and think it is a shithole that needs to be changed. In other words, - she is screwed.
Stirring up racial animosity is all they have left. Watch for intensified efforts, featuring black athletes, celebrities, aspiring rappers, provocative internet postings, etc. Best response is silence — they want whites to make racist comments online, etc. Refuse to help them.
You can’t beat something with nothing.
Going negative is saying, “don’t vote for the other guy because he’s worse than me.”
The problem with the strategy is it makes you look small and petty and doesn’t tel people why they should vote for you.
People have heard it all by know and have decided to vote for Trump. FOR TRUMP, not against Hillary.
Going negative is now a point of diminishing returns. The Democrat playbook is stale and they’re out of ideas to counter Trump.
More importantly, is they have nothing to say about themselves, why their party is better. That’s why they’ll lose.
She only has one bullet left in her gun, The neo-cons who are the #neverTrumpers. What is very funny about this is Hillary needs to tie the neo-cons to Trump, (which she can’t) and for Trump to lose the neo-cons need to openly support him. (Which they won’t)
Sounds like check and mate.
Dems never run out of ammo - if there's nothing left, they just make something up.
She has nothing. Racist, bigot, bigot, racist, waaaaaa...it’s MY TURN!!!
Who needs ammo when you have lies and the msm?
