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.

It will be fun to watch Trump try to deconstruct her.

Hillary is at a level of brazenness and corruption Trump has not faced before. If he can crack that her fall back position is her suffering woman victim act.

FLASHBACK: Cruz: Won’t Go ‘Personal’ with Hillary, Will Focus on Substance (and lose)

“I can’t wait to stand on a debate stage with Hillary Clinton,” he said. “Because my campaign against her is going to be the same as my campaign has been on the primary – it’s going to be based on substance and the issues.”

He then added, “In this primary when others have gotten personal and nasty, I haven’t responded in kind. I’m not gonna do that with Hillary either, and instead I’m going to focus on substance.”

I agree with Trump hitting the Clintons on Bill’s sexual and abuse; it’s public and anyone that has been around knows this; Hillary is a ‘sexual and abuser enabler’ and we all know this, it is also public; the Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton is also public, so fair game.

We also know that before she was S of S she was involved in selling secrets to foreign governments, it’s public; and while she was S of S, it is also public that Sid Blumenthal was her main worker in the ‘Arab Spring’ and Syria and Benghazi.

So if Hillary can’t take what she has dished out, and if the media and talking heads that try to protect her: one because they don’t dare do otherwise or if two: she’s paying them to do this, I say GO. TRUMP.GO!!!

Everything is on the table, it’s public and she’s the one playing the woman’s card…so stand up and take it like a man, Hillary your in a ring now with a real man, and he isn’t going to back down and neither are We…The American Voters that are supporting Trump…

The NYT should’ve thought through their misquoting of Rowanne Brewer Lane. They have opened the door for Trump to go after Hillary’s role in her husband’s Bimbo Eruptions.

Hi Artcore....I must have missed that.....can you post a link or reference...

Thanks in advance

I imagine the Clinton team is formulating a sophisticated “I’m rubber you’re glue” strategy in response, along with the usual vote-buying, ballot-stuffing, and blackmailing.

It's going to be a B-17 raid on the rail yard.

I was thinking of the famous "mother of all targets" convoy back in Iraq War I.

>>> Trump will go for the jugular early and often.

Heck, Hillary simply can not keep up with Trump’s energy. In a general election. And that is something even media can’t hide.

Look for more signs of Hillary’s long period of absence and only use of surrogates (which she has too many too eager to do it for her.)

I am in agreement with this notion. They will stop at nothing. Trump would do himself well to have the backup plan of having Press Conferences after the debates and point out the problems and point out how the media will be covering for her. She has got to go!

OK...I googled it

Also the fake phone call from Friday...

Trump Denies Posing As His Own Spokesman, Rebuts Audio ... - NPR

www.npr.org/.../trump-denies-posing-as-his-own-spokesman-refutes-a...NPR

3 days ago - Donald Trump is seen in New York in 1991, the year of a phone call in which Trump allegedly posed as his own spokesman.

Hillary expected that she could use the standard playbook and say her opponent is a big meanie who doesn't like women and he would wilt, don sackcloth and flagellate himself in penance while she stepped over his prostrate form and right into the white house.

And then it turned out the opponent was Trump. Who instead of begging for forgiveness for his unenlightened sexist ways simply says "you want to talk about some generic class of women you say I am mean to. Well let's talk about how rotten you and your husband have been to specific individual women. And then I'll bring them out to give their stories."

I'm guessing at this point, as his legacy and reputation are butchered, the Secret Service is having to hold Bill back from strangling his wife.

What Trump is doing is ingenious. His enemies across the political spectrum have thrown everything they could find to thwart Trump’s nomination. His opposition might well be out of ammo and thoroughly discredited before the campaign even begins!

He should also ask her to release the donors and fund expenditures of the Clinton Foundation.

At the rate Rush Limbaugh has been going, he’ll probably go after Trump and Ms. Lane for this. Sadly, when it comes to Trump, Limbaugh has been carrying at least some of the MSM’s water.
