So we keep telling ourselves.
And then during the debate thread, it felt like half the people were screaming that he was being too aggressive, and the other half screaming that he wasn’t fighting back.
Go figure.
Yes, we want a fighter.
Remember the hand wringing that went on here on FR when Trump took the Trump University fight to them?
Trump is WAY smarter that a lot of people give him credit for, including how he handled the Trump University fight.
Notice it’s not in the news anymore.
I have! Not sure what the rest of this party has been drinking, but it is really revealing. Michael Savage was right all these years! That is what I learned this year.
Also one who is not a g-d lawyer, like 70% of congress is.
Also one who has not spent his entire adult life running for office.
Also one who doesn’t speak down forom an ivory tower believing they are entitled to the office because they are inherently superior/smarter than everyone else in the room.
I agree with Rush here, and I’m entirely in favor of the 3 AM tweet calling out the Venezuelan Bimbo Eruption and her enabler Hillary. Call them out, fight back and swing for the fences.
Nuance has NEVER won for Republicans and this is a war against the entire Goverment-Media-Wall Sreet Complex. Drawing fine distinctions won’t cut it.
"Why won't McCain / Romney fight back?!? They are getting destroyed and refuse to punch back! They need to get down and dirty and sling some mud back, bring up Bill Ayers, Reverend Wright, anything!"
Are now saying...
"Why does Trump insist on responding to every little attack and provocation?!? All he is doing is getting distracted by mud slinging matches?!? Why won't he stop throwing punches and just stick to the issues and act presidential! He needs to just ignore Hillary and act like he's above it!
Personally I think Trump should throw everything including the kitchen sink at Hillary. From the Rose Law Firm billing records in the 1970's, to Whitewater and Cattle Futures in the 1980's, to FBI Files and Bill's Bimbo's in the 1990's to Benghazi, Email's and the Clinton Foundation today. Throw it all at her! What does Trump have to lose? At least if he goes this path, if, God forbid, he does lose, perhaps he will have also done so much damage to Hillary that she won't get as much as a bill naming the Podunk Post Office through congress!
That is, precisely, what Trump is suppose to do. We cannot expect Hitlery to fire the bureaucracy. OK, his child care will create another bureaucracy and unionize child care, but, he hasn’t done it yet.
You need to know WHICH topics and attacks are worth fighting back on. The “Bush lied, people died” lie was worth fighting back against. The Alicia Machado accusation could have been answered once and then dropped.
Yes, fight back .... on real issues.
Whether some nobody was called fat and had her feeling hurt in 1997 is not a real issue. It’s certainly not a political issue that requires a 3 day response.
Whether someone was raped by an elected office is a real issue.
The phrase “choose your battles wisely” has a lot of merit. So does “win the battle but lose the war”.
An irresponsible man child who has no concern for the facts is not fighting back.
I agree but going after the drug Lord’s beauty queen is pointless, when does the people Bill and Hillary hurt go on parade?
“Clintons in the past and the way that Hillary has handled that, because nothing shows her naked quest for power, in the way that the Clintons, and particularly her, handled that.”
Rush, you are a great guy and all, but please never, ever make a statement that includes a reference to Hillary and the word “naked” in the same sentence. At least provide some sort of fair warning that what we are about to hear is disturbing and only intended for mature audience. Not for the faint of heart.
On Alicia Machado, Hillary Clinton tried to make her out to be some sort of victim of Trump while also implying that Trump was some sort of dirty old man for “hanging around” beauty pageants. He didn’t hang around them. He ran them. He owned them. The biggest ones.
Now some people might argue that these pageants objectify women, etc. But, if that is what Hillary is really saying, then this is even bigger than her deplorables comment. She is not just calling Trump a misogynist, she is applying this label to all the participants (who try really hard to get in and win them), all those who are involved in running the TV programming, all those who advertise on them, and all the viewers.
And this attack is a tough pill to swallow considering WHO is making it. This woman not only fought to get a rapist of a 12 year old girl off with only two months in jail, she laughed about the case afterward. She is so cold and callused that she didn’t have the slightest thought of remorse about destroying a little girl’s life, giving her a sense of hopelessness and despair when it comes to justice. Hillary Clinton is a nasty, vile woman who has only only gotten more corrupt over the years.
She rode her husband’s coattails into the Senate and then into the Secretary of State position. So she HAD to protect him when the women he raped came forward. She HAD to destroy them, in order to protect him, in order to protect her career. Her lying, rapist husband ditched his Secret Service detail multiple times to go play on Lolita Island.
This couple is a pair of psychopathic criminals. Neither ever has any remorse for the harm they’ve caused to others. And they think they deserve back in the White House.
Trump is the football team that`s ahead by 12 points with 4 minutes left in the game. People like Newt are telling him to play it safe and just hold onto his lead. I`ve seen more teams lose games by abandoning what got them there.
