Clintoon was charged by state dem officials recently with siphoning off funds for her campaign. The Clintoon’s know all the angles starting with the Clintoon Crime Family Foundation.
When is some current day Eliot Ness type going to put these people in the slammer??

Dilbert creator Scott Adams agree with you (from his blog 3/17/2016):
The best Trump kill shots have the following qualities.
1. Fresh word that is not generally used in politics
2. Relates to the physicality of the subject (so you are always reminded)
Clinton has already experienced some coughing fits on the campaign trail. And her voice often sounds hoarse, which is to be expected when you give speeches every day. Neither of those things mean much. But add the Internet rumors that Clinton has some lingering brain issues from a concussion, plus her long bathroom break during that one debate, and some rumors that she has trouble with balance, and there you go. Thats enough circumstantial evidence to convict her of being unhealthy.
Well, maybe.
The so-called evidence in this case is probably a mix of true facts that might not matter too much plus rumors and speculation. If you looked at any one piece of evidence on its own, it would mean nothing. But put it all together and you have
confirmation bias.
Confirmation bias is what makes you see any kind of evidence as supporting your point of view. Once Trump puts in our heads the idea that Clinton might have some stamina (health) issues, thats all we will see in the evidence, even if it doesnt exist.
And that is why stamina is such a well-engineered kill shot. Between now and November, the odds of Clinton having another coughing fit, losing her balance, forgetting something, or having some other health issue is nearly 100%. Trump has primed his stamina kill shot to get stronger as time goes by. Confirmation bias will keep adding evidence to his suggestion even if that evidence is imaginary.
Some folks reminded me that Trump has been using the stamina kill shot for months with no real effect. But stamina is a sleeper word. It gets reactivated every time the real world triggers it in your brain. And the real world is certain to deliver.
What happens the next time you see Hillary Clinton looking tired? Under normal circumstances you might tell yourself that all candidates look tired. And they should, given the workload. But Trump primed you to see any bit of fatigue in Clinton as a health issue. So you will.
Keep in mind that Trump always goes where he has an advantage against an opponent. Trumps big advantage (I think) is that he appears to be managing his physical energy better. Ill bet he spends fewer hours campaigning but uses those hours better because he draws big crowds.
