Five ways Trump will attack Clinton
The Hill ^ | 04/30/2016 | Jonathan Easley

Posted on 04/30/2016 7:19:43 PM PDT by MaxistheBest

Trump is ramping up his rhetoric against Hillary Clinton as the GOP front-runner looks beyond the primary to defeating the likely Democratic nominee in the fall. If Trump and Clinton continue along their current trajectories, it will set up a savage battle between two candidates who appear to genuinely despise one another.

Nothing will be out of bounds.

Foreign Policy

Trump lashed out at Clinton on national security and defense in his much-anticipated foreign policy speech in Washington this week.

The GOP front-runner said that “the legacy of the Obama-Clinton interventions will be weakness, confusion and disarray.”

'Crooked Hillary'

Trump’s branding of his rivals has been lethal so far. With “Crooked Hillary,” Trump has a nickname for his rival that could encompass decades of controversies surrounding Bill and Hillary Clinton, from Whitewater to foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation.

The woman card

Clinton will be looking to embrace the historic possibility of becoming the first woman president. Trump will be seeking to make that into a liability for her.

Physical health and conditioning

When it comes to 68-year-old Clinton, the 69-year-old Trump plans to frame his younger rival as too old, too weak and too tired for one of the world’s most demanding jobs.

Trade

U.S. global trade deals have been one of the surprise issues of the cycle in both parties.

Trump will likely hammer Hillary Clinton for NAFTA, the 1990s trade pact signed by Bill Clinton.

There’s also an immigration aspect to the trade deals that could fall right into Trump’s wheelhouse. Sanders has blamed NAFTA and other trade deals for worsening economic conditions in Latin America and making illegal immigration worse

Yes indeed. Those that have not cared to support Donald will at least get a great show when he cube-steaks H.

There is only one reason Cruz is staying in a race he can’t legitimately win at this point.

Carly would not let Cruz quit the race even if he wanted too.

Trump will not be another gentleman loser candidate like McQueeg and Mittens.

I think Trump may get fair coverage from CNN, based on the coverage of his family recently.

.

Does anybody REALLY think Trump would let Hillary beat him after coming so far?
Trump is fearless and tireless. He knows all of Hillary’s criminal activities.
Not being PC crippled and spineless as most of our politicians are; He will stop at nothing. He will SLAUGHTER her. Count on it.

There is no way Cruz, with his universal unlikeability could beat her.
You have to be able to get up fairly close to Cruz (which I did some years ago at a function in Austin) to realize just how smug, self-righteous, phony, slimy and unappealing he really is.

There should be a bidding war for it. Could pay off a chunk of the National Debt.

Mrs. BJ Clinton and Mrs. A Weiner.

Enough said.

So if Hillary is Trumps only opponent, what the hell is Mr. Cruz doing?

Losing.

Don’t worry. Kasich and Cruz are child’s play compared to the wrath he will unleash against The Beast.

Cruz will still be running after Trump secures the nomination and probably after Trump is sworn in a President. Cruz has lost his mind.

Somewhere during the debates Hillary will quit the race due to physical problems.

That's my bet.
