Full headline: "WikiLeaks Emails Allegedly Show Clinton Campaign Consultant Considering 'Swift Boat'-Style Attack on Donald Trump"

“I know you can’t look past Bernie and March primaries -- but who is in charge of the Trump swift boat project? Needs to be ready, funded and unleashed when we decide -- not a half assed scramble,” one of the campaign’s consultants, Joel Johnson, purportedly wrote to Clinton’s Communications Director Jen Palmieri in February of this year.

Exactly! The libs will turn this term into a negative, like McCarthyism, which was also true and not a bad thing.

If they win, yes.

Their current criminal conspiracies are small potatoes next to the criminal conspiracies that are waiting in the wings.

“Swiftboat style” means showing that the good he claims he did are actually all lies.

Sounds like that might work better with Hillary.

Yeah, that Trump. Shame on him... Back when he was in Military school, he awarded himself medals for heroism and purple hearts for splinters and self inflicted wounds.

Then he colluded with a rival school to make his team lose the homecoming game.

Hey Mary Alice Parks ... the Swift Boaters were people who SERVED WITH KERRY AND CAME FORWARD WITH THE TRUTH TO COUNTER HIS LIES.

They were honorable - - they were telling the truth against a powerful liar. That took courage and integrity. No way either of those things could be associated with Hillary's campaign OR the press.

So please - get real MaryAlice Parks. STOP spreading lies... it's unbecoming.
