Trump mocks rivals, promises to take on terrorism 'so tough you have no idea'
Washington Post ^ | 12/4/15 | John Wagner

Posted on 12/05/2015 7:37:49 AM PST by jimbo123

Republican front-runner Donald Trump mocked Jeb Bush's low standing in the polls, accused Hillary Clinton of needing to rest for several days between campaign events and promised that his approach to terrorism would be "so tough you don't want to hear" during a raucous rally Friday night in Raleigh, N.C.

-snip-

Trump drew particular attention to the standing of Bush, the former Florida governor, now at 3 percent.

"Who's 3?" Trump asked. "Bush. Bush is 3. Bye bye."

Minutes later, he turned his attention to Clinton, the Democratic front-runner.

"Did you ever notice ... she wakes up ... she puts on her pantsuit, she walks in, does an event," Trump said. "You don't see her for four days, five days. You know why? She goes back home. She goes to sleep."

Exactly. Hillary must have had another mini-stroke before Thanksgiving because she has been MIA for days.

If Trump gets the Presidency in 2016, he is going to have a ball yelling, “You’re fired” with the screwballs that Obama put in the government. I would love to be a fly on the wall.

Agree with all ....especially

Lynnette "Diamond" Hardaway and Rochelle "Silk" Richardson would be great as President Trumps Co-Press Secretaries.

National Security Adviser would be perfect for General Pace.

And being Brooklyn born as is Trump, I’d bet General Pace would get along famously with President Donald.

And his first act as President should be to fire the Attorney General.

Do we have one?

Also; eliminate the EPA. The IRS and FDA both need to be beaten down to a small basement office, and stripped of any power.

‘so tough you have no idea’

He is so funny. If he follows up on all his rhetoric, we are in great shape. If he doesn’t, we in deep trouble. He probably has talked the biggest game in politics in history. His way of words are hilarious. He says this about terrorism, the economy, healthcare, jobs, etc. “You wait and see.....” is his code words. I am in awe of his campaign for real.

Bruising is very bad for weeks after a facelift, Hillary may have had something done to those baggy eyes which could account for the MIA status.

She was MIA until she came out on the gun nonsense.At least she was questioned about Juanita Broaddrick finally after she reappeared.

I don’t know if Hillary had another health problem. I suspect that she is staying out of sight because her negatives are too high and they know it. They are desperately trying to find a way to not only change her image - they also have to distance her from Obama in such a way that they don’t alienate the far left (Obama’s base), but convince those upset with Obama that she is different.

Being as objective as I can be despite my disgust, I think Hillary has an almost impossible task before her. She is tied to the Obama administration on every trend (security, foreign policy, immigration, etc etc) that favors the opposition. Her strategy must be to motivate the usual vote and find another 10% in the middle. It is a tall task for her at the moment because to get the 10% she may alienate the core vote. One strategy that few are talking about would involve the creation of a slightly effective 3rd party alternative to the GOP candidate.

Hillary and her campaign are stuck. They are trying very hard (once again) to recreate her and it’s not working. Her negatives remain the same and there is really little enthusiasm for her. If she can’t go negative on the President (and she hasn’t) it will be very difficult to win. She also has to be concerned that her handling of classified information is still being investigated and I am sure they are desperately trying to find out where that ends.

I believe this President is very thin skinned and vindictive. If she goes too negative on Obama and offends him or Valerie Jarrett they will turn on her and there is already no love lost between them. The media can (and do) lie for her and inflate the numbers, but in the innermost war-room her campaign strategists face what I just said above. She is not a good candidate and this is not a good time to run as a democrat. On top of that, the opposition has not really begun to hammer her.

And even funnier if Trump said Hillary/leftism was being propped up like the dead body of El Cid. The mindless followers don’t have a clue how dead she is.
