Trump Comes Out Swinging
WSJ ^ | 5/10/2016 | James Taranto

Posted on 05/10/2016 4:19:08 PM PDT by GilGil

One of the few things Hillary Clinton has going for her is that she’s inevitable. But for how long? She will win the Democratic presidential nomination barring the unlikely event that we still live in a country governed by the rule of law. But will she inevitably win in November? We’ve long said no, and at last there’s a poll to back us up.

Wow! The Trump-can't-win mantra is collapsing. That sure did not take long. We are at the point in this general election where Trump was when he was at 10% and people said he was done. Trump has just crossed the 10% on the way to 20%.

Trump is already beating Hillary in state polls. Hillary is a paper tiger.

Laws do not apply to those with plenty of political power.

Trump is ahead in Ohio and they are tied in Florida and Pennsylvania according to Quinnipiac.

Yep, Hillary is toast.

Hillary is a big time Loser for the D party... and they know it.
How to finesse her Royal Thighs out of the limelight?
I think it will be her (obviously serious) health condition

she can step aside also to care for her supposed husband, but I don’t think that’s the way it will go. I think she will just read a little teary script from a teleprompter that her doctors have advised her to sit this one out

then? Biden has self-destructed and the fake Injun squaw is nothing more than a bad joke.....and.....????? they ain’t got anyone else in sight! And the public is going to be much more careful about voting for a complete unknown (like the Kenyan illegal immigrant IslamoNazi) again.

James Taranto has been fair to Trump these past months on the John Batchelor radio show.

His WSJ colleague Mary Kissel, though, is the opposite. Mark Levin-level anti-Trump.

I have an idea for Hillary. She can drag Rove around with her and he can explain to everyone how Trump has a high floor but a low ceiling.

Until she is in the political ground, 6 feet under with the last shovel of dirt spread, she's still in play as far as I'm concerned. I put NOTHING past dem Dems.

7:19: On MSNBC, Ann Coulter says Trump is the “heart and soul” of the party and being gracious in even having a meeting with Ryan. He says Trump doesn’t need to waste a lot of time with these meetings going forward because the people are with him instead of the “generals without armies.” Coulter gives Matthews credit for being one of the few people on television who wasn’t reflexively contemptuously dismissive of him.

7:11: Manafort says “stay tuned” and says the Trump campaign will not allow Clinton to get away with playing the gender card. When Matthews says the Clintons have weathered past attacks against them and they never seem to work against them, Manafort, with a big smile, says “the Clintons have never run against Donald Trump.”

7:07: Manafort: Trump is the head of the Republican Party as far as voters are concerned. Manafort says the media are “making it up” when they say Trump can’t defeat Clinton in a general election. He says Trump will have a “positive” convention because he “understands media.” Manafort says he is going to Cleveland later this week and talk with the RNC. Matthews wonders if Priebus is going to give Americans an “exciting convention.” Manafort says Trump will give Americans an “exciting convention” and calls the presidential election the “ultimate reality show.”

7:05: Paul Manafort of the Trump campaign tells Chris Matthews that Trump figured out that a campaign for a modern presidency is different from those in the past. And he says Trump’s campaign is the first social media candidacy. He says Trump had a vision for what the American people wanted and was effectively about to communicate with voters as a true outsider. Manafort says Trump combined a modern campaign with a vision that was not constricted with the traditional politics of Washington.

NEVER count on Ohio. There is a reason Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) is always the last to report.

They see how many votes they need to win, manufacture those votes, then report.

>>Hillary is toast.<<

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If she starts to tank in the polls versus Trump, that’s when Obama will drop the FBI hammer, privately, and she will drop out “For health reasons.”

Clintoon may become a footnote in history if Putin releases her emails.

Putin/the Kremlin has all of these missing emails, and they will probably be available for all of us to read after Cankles becomes the Rat candidate.

Hillary’s Emails Hacked by Russia – Kremlin Deciding Whether to Release 20,000 Stolen Emails

The Gateway Pundit ^ | May 10, 2016 | Jim Hoft Posted on 5/10/2016, 6:38:13 AM by maggief

The Kremlin is debating whether to release the 20,000 emails they have hacked off of Hillary Clinton’s server.

According to a report from four days ago, beginning in 2011, the Russians began monitoring Romanian computer hacker Marcel Lazăr Lehel (aka Guccifer) after he attempted, unsuccessfully, to break into the computer system of the Russian funded RT television network.

After monitoring Guccifer, the Russians were reportedly able to record (both physically and electronically) his actions which allowed the Russian intelligence analysts, in 2013, to not only detect his breaking into the private computer of Secretary Clinton, but also break in and copy all of its contents as well.

The report notes that shortly after Russia obtained Clinton’s emails, they released a limited amount to RT TV which were published in an article in March 2013, titled Hillary Clinton’s ‘hacked’ Benghazi emails: FULL RELEASE.

Apparently no Western journalists promoted this story in 2013.

The Democrat candidate is often 15-20 points ahead of the Republican in these early "head-to-head" polls. For instance, Mike Dukakis was 17 points ahead of Bush in July of 1988. More famously, Jimmy Carter was 20 points ahead of Ronald Reagan for most of the summer of 1980.

I cannot remember a single general election race in which the Republican candidates was in a virtual tie or even slightly ahead at this point in the race. Almost always, the Republican is "always fighting from behind" all year.

This is a total disaster for Crooked Hillary. And she's about to get spanked tonight in WV by Bernie Sanders.

Well, I’ve got my ring-side seat.

Round One to Trump. Hillary looks dazed.

Round Two coming up.

Should be worth the price of admission.
