The Gloves Are Off: Trump Accuses Hillary Of Being "Involved In Corruption ...

Complete Headline: The Gloves Are Off: Trump Accuses Hillary Of Being "Involved In Corruption For Most Of Her Professional Life"

It's popcorn time.

Barely 24 hours after Trump launched his first Hillary attack ad in which he showed a laughing Putin respond to a barking Hillary, and shortly after Hillary's SuperPAC responded in kind with an ad of its own in which it used a Trump quote to mock him, the gloves are officially off, and now that both presidential candidates - both convinced they will face off against each other - are beyond the foreplay stage, the gloves have come off and the direct attacks are escalating rapidly.

So rapidly, in fact, that one may say Trump is risking a potential lawsuit with the following accusation (which, however, should not be too difficult to prove should one of Hillary's SuperPACs sue him for libel).

This is what Trump tweeted moments ago.

Hillary Clinton has been involved in corruption for most of her professional life!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 18, 2016

This is more than your typical political ad hominem - this is a material allegation with legal implications that goes to the core of Hillary's biggest weakness, her trustworthiness or complete lack thereof, and Trump's charges will only escalate from here on out, hopefully with actual examples. We look forward to Hillary's response.

One thing is certain: for the next six months, America will be entertained.

“I think certain people here will be joining with Occupy Wall St after he wins.”

If there weren’t an element of truth in that, it wouldn’t be funny. Scary, isn’t it?

That’s why I said it would convince general public, not freepers.

The freepers who don’t like Trump see the situation honestly, as do the freepers who do like trump. We aren’t influenced by the mainstream. You and I see the risk inherent in electing Trump: he MIGHT be doing it for some selfish reason and he might not keep to his promises. I used to see the risk factor as 80-20, 80 that he will stick it to the Uniparty cabal and work instead for the American people. But as I synthesize new info from Trump’s behavior, I feel it’s gone up to 90-10. You probably have a different ratio in your mind.

But his post is very good, and I believe it is for Trump’s and our children and grandchildren that Trump is doing this. No one else stepped up to the plate.

“She has no chance against Trump. The GOPe knows this. It’s why they tried to destroy his run”

It’s also why the enemedia keeps demanding a brokered convention to prevent Trump from obtaining the GOP nomination. No thinking person believes the enemedia would be doing this if they though Hillary would stomp Trump in the general election. In fact, several weeks ago, NYT actually endorsed John Kasich back when he was polling 3%, and several local-yokel NYT me-too rags dittoed their endorsement.

“Touchback Amnesty is Amnesty. Donald Trump has endorsed Amnesty.”

You know that’s a lie. You’ve had it explained to you many times, yet you persist in posting that lie.

Three classes of Liars:

Liberals
Establishment shills
Looney tunes

Which one are you?

“Which is why 2016 will NOT be like 2008 and 2012!”

yeah, no more hundreds of millions spent by the GOPe candidate promoting what a nice guy he is instead of attacking the crap out of Obama’s record.

Donanld’s NOT a nice guy: he’s a fierce warrior, and he makes a virtue of that. I’m hoping (and expecting) to see a take-no-prisoners, Sherman-march-to-the-sea campaign against the corrupt traitor, Hillary Clinton.

Nice imagery there. But it conjures up George Mallory's bleached bones, not Hillary's.

“Trump can call her all the names he wants but sooner or later Trump is going to have to present some evidence.”

Why? Did anyone ever present any evidence that Barry Goldwater or Ronald Reagan would start a nuclear war, or was it sufficient to just make the allegation?

“Reminds me of a song...”That’ll be the Day”.”

I understand your skepticism, but it’s got to happen, or this country is gone. Trump is our last hope to get the job done peacefully. If he fails, the invasion issue will be sttled by other means. One way or another, it will be settled.

“Then why did the ever discerning Donald Trump continue to support her through donations?”

thanks for pointing that out; no one has ever mentioned that here before.

But just in case ya’ll haven’t heard, only a few weeks ago, Trump singularly upset the whole election apple cart! That’s what he’s done!

Trump set the national agenda by opposing illegal immigration and bringing up other issues that the GOPe and their allies desperately wanted to avoid, and now they can’t. No one would even be talking about illegal immigration today if Trump hadn’t forced the issue.

The GOPe was not prepared for this, and as a consequence they don’t have a clue about what to do, hence their almost universal collapse into a pile of quivering jello, flip-flopping like a bag of Mexican jumping beans dumped on a hot griddle. That’s what Trump has done.

Trump has exposed those who pretend to be conservative but are really just fronts for big money establishment campaign donors who purchase their candidates with campaign “donations”. Trump has ripped the facade off of the fake “conservative” websites that are really fronts for the modern aristocracy as part of the plan to fool the people into thinking at least SOME of the institutions are on their side.That’s what Trump has done.

Trump, by actually being a real man, has exposed the other candidates and their allies for the weak little sniveling sellouts that they really are.

Trump’s vociferous truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media have been the catalyst that triggered a massive revolt amongst conservative voters who are infuriated at the GOPe Congress doing absolutely ZERO to stop Obama’s agenda, and suddenly the GOP RINO leadership is in full blown panic mode and in full blown retreat, and the SMALL conservative House contingent smelt blood in the water, took heart, and charged in against a weakened, frightened and paralyzed GOPe leadership, and Boehner was taken out as a sacrificial lamb. That’s what Trump has done.

Without Trump taking on the enemedia and beating them, the first time this has been done since Reagan, Cruz and the rest would be quivering before their concerted assaults and spending all of their time apologizing for having accidentally strayed into the shallows of political correctness and saying something Black Lives Matter or the Southern Poverty Law Center hate groups hated with consequent massive amplification by the enemedia as they pounded their PC drums against the GOP. That’s what Trump has done.

Trump is absolutely correct when he says that without Trump in the race, everything would be same-ol’, same-ol. The Joyful Tippy-Toes Turtle would be creeping closer to the finish line, Boehner would still be safely ensconced as Speaker, and there would be no mention of illegal immigration are any of the issues surrounding it by any politician in either party, other than possibly how critical it would be to pass immigration “reform”. That’s what Trump has done.

After only four state primary elections, Trump has already taken out all but one GOP RINO candidate. That’s what Trump has done.

Trump has used the enemedia against itself, exposed FNC for being Rupert Murdoch’s personal propaganda channel, and made the other cable networks realize they can grow their ratings by playing more fairly. That’s what Trump has done.

Trump has attracted the “big tent” coalition that the GOPe always professed it wanted, but never really did, by appealing equally to all demographic groups, whether they be rich or poor, educated or uneducated, old or young, male or female, blue collar or white collar, north or south, east or west. That’s what Trump has done.

The media are loath to make the connection, but it’s obvious that the Boehner resignation was yet another falling domino, toppling due to the Trump Effect, because Trump’s unabashed truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media triggered a revolt amongst the great unwashed GOP masses which emboldened a few conservative Congress critters to grow a few pairs. That’s what Trump has done.

Trump’s coalition of voters have panicked the Senate into growing a backbone and standing up to Obama by refusing to consider any Supreme Court nominee until the next President is in office. That’s what Trump has done.

And our nation wouldn’t even be having ANY of these conversations about illegal immigration and the myriad of other Obammunist issues destroying our country if it wasn’t for Trump. Instead, we’d simply be debating which RINO, GOPe squish would be least likely to be stomped by Hillary, and the GOPe would once again be exhorting the “base” about how critical it is for us to once again vote for the “lesser of two evils”, that is, vote for the GOPe side of the Uniparty coin. That’s what Trump has done.

And do note that ALL of the oligarchs and plutocrats are frightened to death of Donald Trump because the billionaires and millionaires can’t buy him like all of the other politicians they routinely purchase, because Trump doesn’t need nor want their money, and the kommie media is frightened to death of him because he isn’t afraid of them either, the bottom line being that Donald Trump can not be controlled by the rich and powerful or the corrupt media, so for anyone who is truly for campaign finance reform and wants to take money out of politics, voting for Trump is the only reasonable choice. That’s what Trump has done.

Donald J. Trump is the very epitome of the anti-social-justice-warrior, and he’s galvanized an entire nation of the like minded who have been desperately waiting for years for a leader who could lead them from the desert of political correctness.

President Trump is really the last hope for this country: if he can’t undo any of the damage wrought by the Obammunists, the U.S.A. is done.

So least we forget, the above, and much more, are called “The Trump Effect”.

“Bingo. And Trump has very, very good attorneys. Discovery would be worth the price of admission.”

I believe this is part of the FBI investigation which has expanded beyond the email thing. Trump would have the FBI on his side.

He has to go no further than the current FBI investigation. I bet he has been leaked some information.

Play the video in post 157. Read the text. That is Touchback Amnesty, in Trump’s own words on videotape. How is that a lie?

Except that it is bad for Donald Trump, so it is obviously a lie.
