The scorched-earth playbook employed by Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is stirring alarm among allies of Hillary Clinton, with some fearing the negativity will depress turnout on Election Day.

Some Clinton supporters say they’re concerned that voters are nearly fed up with the constant accusations and name-calling that has defined the campaign.

Scorched Earth?

Read the MSM headlines on Trump!

That is what “scorched earth” looks like.

Scorched Earth?

Yes, it's an impossible metaphor for Trump. He's not in that position. Well, maybe he his breathing fire! But it's all spectacle. It's an expression of his daring and determination, and I must say, clarity. It belongs in the category of rhetoric. I've never seen anything like it, and it's breathtaking.

Be a shame if the majority of progressives were so depressed for hearing the truth about their elites that they stayed home.

To indoctrinated Klinton Kool-Aid drinkers it's name calling.

To others it's cold hard facts about Hillary's criminality.

Pathological liars frequently engage in “projection”.

Clinton (and indirectly Obama) are the ones with the motivation for a “scorched earth” tactic in order to avoid jail if Trump is elected.

Let’s hope the democrats are not so determined such that their scorched earth doesn’t include Russians and nuclear war...

Don’t fool yourself. The Demonrats will start a nuclear war if they think there is ANY benefit to themselves.

By the way, don’t forget Agenda 21 and the desire to reduce Earth’s population by 85%. Nuclear war will achieve that. I’m sure the libs have habitable areas mapped out already.

Yes, they are THAT evil.

Exactly. And I hope they haven’t yet seen how scorched their little earth can become.

They start trolling and then they complain when the cat retaliates. Once again the democrat rapist unilateralist mentality manifests itself.

Trump
should call them 11 year old retards who cannot stay on the subject of the nation and instead do personal attacks as a cop out subject change

In roughly 200 years, the Democrats (and for that matter the GOP themselves) have never had to run a campaign like this. In essence, they are now relying up on dead people and illegals that vote....to win the election.

“The scorched-earth playbook employed by Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is stirring alarm among allies of Hillary Clinton, with some fearing the negativity will depress turnout on Election Day.”

... They have decided to compensate, therefore, by casting four ballots apiece.

The Hillary voters may also fear the sounds of millions of deplorables out to tar and feather them as well.

To: wastoute; null and void

Oddly enough, Null And Void inspired my costume for Halloween, this year.

It’s Alice In Wonderland.

But it’s *Alice*.

It’s an adorable graphic but I’m putting my own creepy spin on it.

Bloody pinafore and decapitated White Rabbit.

And snake.

Sadly, I could not find a portable guillotine.

:)
