Back in the days of Richard Nixon and Watergate, Donald Segretti had a word for it.
Unfortunately, I cant use that word in a family newspaper, but suffice it to say it had something to do with rats and everything to do with a vulgarism for political dirty tricks: using plants and double-agents in order to embarrass a candidate and boost their own mans chances.
Last week it was GOP front-runner Donald Trumps turn to get, well, ratfreaked.
A young woman at a campaign event in New Hampshire self-righteous, hands on hips, a-quiver with indignation popped up to declare, I dont think youre a friend to women. (I knew I shouldnt have picked her, Trump immediately joked.)
Oops. Turns out that the woman, identified as Lauren Batchelder, 18, is a college volunteer for the fading candidacy of Jeb Bush.

When is he not?
Yeah, and Trump’s numbers and increasing support show it.
>If he keeps providing his opponents with the ammunition they need to bring him down, with statements like this, he won’t continue with such stellar numbers.
I had been warming to Trump somewhat, myself a Cruz supporter, but with such inane, and unnecessary, statements like he just made, I find it very hard to vote for him even he gets the nomination.
I like Trump’s outspokenness, but making statements like this is beyond the pale. We’ll have somebody in office making similar idiotic and stupid statements all the time.
Even if he gets the nomination, I won’t be voting for somebody this stupid.
Actually you are inferring it. Trump might have implied it, but I think he was just responding to Jeb's claim that "Bush kept us safe". I know Jeb meant "after 9/11" but he didn't say that. Factually Trump is correct, but in fairness I don't think any new president could have prevented it.
Not only did the girl look nutty, her use of 'woman' instead of women made her appear twice as strange.

Now that's funny.
Get over yourself.
We don’t need deranged people voting for Trump.
Exactly. It was funny.
I find your comment a really strange thing to say.
I really liked and respected GW but he made some mistakes. He was a pillar of strength re 9/11 but he grew government and entitlement spending. We need to learn from mistakes made, not protect our past & present leaders from criticism. GW is a great man in many ways and he would be the first to say he isn’t/wasn’t perfect. His willingness to start the easy money policy on his watch because BO wanted that path was appalling and disastrous but in character.
Trump’s run has been an amazing gift to America because he has called out many of the elephants in the room. He is the first public figure that has addressed our problems pragmatically rather than politically and held people to account for their records. I say great. Go Trump.
Whether he wins or not he has helped America to at least open a public discourse that may turn our country back to solvency and productiveness.
LOL!
Oh, and someone who voted for TPA and the Corker bill isn’t stupid? Those votes hurt America, Trump’s words do not. Sure, you are warming to Trump - liar!
“I wanna Oompa Loompa NOW”!
Well, good.
Thank you, Trish!
That’s a demonic little whore in that picture.
And the redhead is no good, either.
As another poster said....
“Soooooo...the little snot is pro-choice (pro-death), and shes working for Bush. Ill be darned...”
Yes! You and I were the only ones to notice that peculiar grammatical mistake. Even Trump didn’t pick up on it - although being polite, he may have ignored it.
I look at her, and I think of a word...what was it?...Oh, yeah...b***hslap.
