PUEBLO, Colo. — Hillary Clinton denounced “scorched earth” tactics by Republicans on Wednesday, saying Democrats must not allow themselves to turn away from the election in disgust.

Those tactics have recently included protesters accusing former president Bill Clinton of rape. Clinton’s campaign appearances were interrupted two days in a row this week by people shouting while holding or wearing T-shirts that brand her husband a rapist.

Her rally here was briefly interrupted by two demonstrators, but it was not clear they were accusing Clinton’s husband.

“Americans want to turn out in as large numbers as possible,” Clinton said to applause. “Reject the dark and divisive and hateful campaign that is being run.”

The Democratic presidential nominee contrasted what she calls Republican Donald Trump’s efforts to divide voters and her own plan to govern inclusively.

What "scotched Earth tactics?"

They consistently accuse others of what they do and plan. Right out of the Marxist-Leninist playbook. Word for word.

No, not the election. They should just turn away from her in disgust.

If we reject the dark divisive hateful campaign being run, then we have to reject Hillary’s campaign.

Yeah, why the stuff at her rallies?

He should have just had her corpse found in a park somewhere and been done with it, right Hillary?

Hillary: “Scorched earth is what WE do! You Republicans are supposed to politely take whatever we dish out and lose gracefully.”

A scorched earth tactic is anything that demonstrates Hillary and Bill to be lying murdering traitors.

Projection.

Saw a book in the bookstore the other day about the Obama administration with that title: Scorched Earth.

“Reject the dark and divisive and hateful campaign that is being run.”

As I see it, SHE is the one running a divisive and hateful campaign. Isn’t she the one who called hard working Americans, a “basket of deplorables”? Isn’t it her campaign who called Sanders voters “basement dwellers”? Didn’t she refer to others within the democrat realm “never do wells and a bucket of losers”?

So, if her rally goers turn away from the divisive and hateful campaign, they’ll be turning away from her campaign.

I'll tell you what is a "scorched Earth tactic:" planning to bring in millions of third world immigrants to change the demographics of America forever.

Millions who don't believe in American values, who don't want to assimilate into our culture, who hate Jews and Christians, and who's religion commands them to hunt us and kill us.

That's real scorched Earth tactics.

Meanwhile, she and Bomb are trying to start a war with Russia.

If Hillary was winning the election, she and her media lapdogs would be talking about all the wonderful things Hillary is going to do for America.

Instead, she’s screeching about scorched earth tactics and Trump turning the heat up on her.

That’s how I know she’s goin’ down for the count. Too sad, too bad for Hillary.

Trump owns YOU.

Good point, and I certainly hope you're right.
