The problem is that the media has made it an issue he can’t ignore. When Megan Kelly spends half of her show talking about it he has to address it. It is an attempt to keep people from talking about Hillary’s record, lies, poor health and criminality. Unfortunately, he has to address it.

This Machado attack is part of a pre scripted media attack coordinated with the Clinton Campaign.

It was one of several trial balloons Hillary floated at the debate and its the only one that Trump did not shhot down in the debate.

This Machado silliness is the least damaging and serious of Hillary's trial balloons so the fact that this is the only one the media has in play shows Trump shot down the Clinton/Media post debate script before it ever got off the ground.

It's also backfiring against Clinton as revelations about Macho continue to roll out and it's the only ammunition Hillary has to paint Trump as a rabid misogynist.

The media is running with this cause it's all got and Trump has no choice but to counter attack.

In this case, Bill and Hillary's long term abuse of the Politics of Personal Destruction (perfected by the Clintons BTW) against women allows Trump to go on the offensive rather than have to play defense on this issue.

It's taking time from issues, but it highlights Hillary's lying, bad judgment , incompetence, lack of temperament and high lights her desperation and he campaigns bankrupt platform to run on.

I will concede one point on this, and I do this with the whole story of that Muslim guy at the Democratic convention in mind.

Remember that he disappeared from the news very quickly once Trump began belittling him in public. That story backfired on the Democrats, and this one probably will, too.

If this Machado broad disappears from the news by 5:00 PM today, then maybe this is all part of a good campaign strategy.

Agree, but now leave it alone and counter-attack on Hillary’s mistreatment of women.

CLINTON: Her name is Alicia Machado.

TRUMP: Where did you find this?

CLINTON: And she has become a U.S. citizen, and you can bet...

TRUMP: Oh, really?

CLINTON: ... she's going to vote this November.

TRUMP: OK, good. Let me just tell you...

(APPLAUSE)

HOLT: Mr. Trump, could we just take 10 seconds and then we ask the final question...

Correct. Which is why Trump should just be laying out the facts of a “rigged system” (Hillary colluding with the media) instead of going on and on about the bimbo.

Excellent post, well said and I completely agree.
