Little Is Off Limits as Donald Trump Plans Attacks on Hillary Clinton
New York Times ^ | 5/16/16 | Patrick Healy

Posted on 05/16/2016 7:54:23 AM PDT by Sybeck1

Donald J. Trump plans to throw Bill Clinton’s infidelities in Hillary Clinton’s face on live television during the presidential debates this fall, questioning whether she enabled his behavior and sought to discredit the women involved. Mr. Trump will try to hold her accountable for security lapses at the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and for the death of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens there. And he intends to portray Mrs. Clinton as fundamentally corrupt, invoking everything from her cattle futures trades in the late 1970s to the federal investigation into her email practices as secretary of state. Drawing on psychological warfare tactics that Mr. Trump used to defeat “Lyin’ Ted” Cruz, “Little Marco” Rubio and “Low-Energy” Jeb Bush in the Republican primaries, the Trump campaign is mapping out character attacks on the Clintons to try to increase their negative poll ratings and bait them into making political mistakes, according to interviews with Mr. Trump and his advisers.

I *am* enjoying this. The way that Trump upset the GOPe apple cart and took the Hillary campaign’s expectations of facing the likes of Jeb or Rubio and crushed them while laughing... it’s just too sweet to describe.

Why wait until the debates? Trump commands the attention of millions with a single Twitter or Facebook post.

Trump: NY Times Against Me Because ‘It’s Owned By Mexico’

Donald Trump told a crowd of supporters in Sparks, Nevada on Tuesday it’s no mystery why The New York Times attacks him: “It’s owned by Mexico.”

As part of his regular stump speech calling the press dishonest, Trump singled out the Times, saying it was strange that the newspaper wanted to advise others what to do when it hasn’t been very smart in its own business dealings.

“They buy a building, and they have a building in New York. They sell it for $125 million or so. Right? Couple of years – few years later, guy sells it for $525 million,” Trump said. “They buy The Boston Globe for $1.3 billion. They sell it for $1. And then they write an editorial where they tell you how to run your life. Give me a break.”

But it wasn’t just Trump’s view that the Times has bad business acumen that drew his ire.

“I know why I get bad treatment in The New York Times: because it’s owned by Mexico,” he said. “I don’t know if you know. A rich guy in Mexico actually has power at The New York Times. I wonder why they don’t like us, you know? I just wonder.”

His statement that the Times is owned by “a rich guy in Mexico” was referring to Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim Helú, who in 2009 loaned the Times $250 million to refinance its debt.

According to a story in the Times reporting the transaction, Slim received no representation on the company’s board and didn’t get shares with special voting rights like those of the Sulzberger family, which runs the company.

But the deal did make Slim among the largest single shareholders when he exercised the warrants on the six-year notes in January 2015, giving him almost 17 percent of common shares.

“The idea that the Government can define consensual conduct between adults as “sexual harassment,” because of a Feminist theory that demonizes male advances, does not change the issue”

Using the authority of the presidency, or the governorship as he did before, to procure sexual favors from employees (and interns) is by definition workplace harassment. Consent isn’t a factor except in cases of rape or age.

The issue in the Clinton suit was a pattern of this type of harassment (using official power to get laid, essentially) and this is why he was questioned about his conduct while in office.

Textbook example of it.

Little Is Off Limits as Donald Trump Plans Attacks on Hillary Clinton.

This is likely to be a most enjoyable next few months for me to look forward to.

I haven't deliberately gotten drunk in over forty years, but I look forward to the day when I see the headline, "Former Fat, Ugly, unindicted felon, sex predator-enabler *itch* loses in biggest political landslide in U.S. History."

Twenty Five year-old Scotch ought to do it.

The Times would love to make this contest about sex and not about the traitorous behavior of the Clinton Foundation.

Trump campaign is mapping out character attacks on the Clintons to try to increase their negative poll ratings and bait them into making political mistakes, according to interviews with Mr. Trump and his advisers.

The Trump campaign is making a huge mistake not initiating The fat ugly *itch's sterling record at the very beginning...

Getting fired from the Nixon Congressional Impeachment Committee, at age 27 for:

"As a 27 year old staff attorney for the House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate investigation, Hillary Rodham was fired by her supervisor, lifelong Democrat Jerry Zeifman. When asked why Hillary Rodham was fired, Zeifman said in an interview, "Because she was a liar. She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer, she conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the Committee, and the rules of confidentiality."

Of course I am just guessing, and I hope I'm wrong.

“Mr. Trump will try to hold her accountable...”
‘Bout time someone did.

You got that right!
Her philandering husband, Monica's boyfriend, was the master of "accountability," convinced beyond redemption that simply saying "I's sorry" is an acceptable substitute for actual accountability and paying a price proportionate to the crime.

It's hard to say who taught whom, but the lifelong sociopathy seems to be shared by both Clintons.

After the debacle of Benghazi, her public life should have been over.
The addition of the ongoing crimes of the Clinton Foundation, the Clinton Criminal Enterprises, Inc, should have disabused a normal human being from expecting to be "the first woman president" (I deliberately avoid the word 'feminine.')

The Ugly Fat unindicted Felon *itch can soon accept the fate and legacy which she created for herself,

"And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust, from whence she sprung,
Unwept, unhonour'd, and unsung."

Please don't ask me how I really feel...

In other words, he’ll tell the truth about her publicly.

I hear ya. That she is still in the public eye is a travesty of justice.

If he brings this stuff up in the debate, I won’t be surprised if the moderate cuts him off and they then stop the broadcast. They will more than Candy Crowley him.

And every voting citizen non-pervert nor militant American of every political party will take note.

There must be enough normal educated and normal Americans left to make a difference.

Her dishonesty is part of her character
As is that she has failed at everything she has ever done.

It is not cowardice; it is complicity: Romney is a treacherous globalist, and had been given his marching (read: non-marching) orders - like McCain.
Proof: He and the other treachers will go for the jugular when it is a fellow Republican. Look at the Alinsky-style attacks on Trump!
Romney is a ruthless, predatory corporatist (versus free-market entrepreneur) when it suits him.
Romney is Wall Street; Trump is Main Street.
