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

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.

>>> “Just getting nasty with Hillary won’t work,” Mr. Trump said. “You really have to get people to look hard at her character, and to get women to ask themselves if Hillary is truly sincere and authentic. Because she has been really ugly in trying to destroy Bill’s mistresses, and she is pandering to women so obviously when she is only interested in getting power.” <<<

What's not to like? Think Cruz or any other who ran/will run 3rd party can be as effective?

Republicans went after him for private conduct;

I may be wrong but it was the media that framed it as a private matter.

The inoculation has begun.

But hey, I think he’ll start with the Arkansas Mafia and work his way forward.

“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.”

Wanna bet? Not only does he have Hitlary firmly in his sights, he also knows he as the MSM tied up in knots. Their “money men” are “all in” for the ratings he brings. Money for them will always win out over “substance.”

[Maverick68]

Which is the way it should be.
If you want to be leader of the Free World and have access to the nuclear briefcase, you SHOULD be exposed to every question and or criticism imaginable, NOTHING should be off limits.

If it were me in that detail, I wouldn’t try to hold to tight and lose my balance to give him a good start.

Seeing mutual destruction of the Krintons would be worth being fired over.

Mrs. Bill is already planning an October surprise every single day. Mr. Bill is actually doing the work on this. the American people seem to warm to Mrs. Bill even when they reject her to the socialist opponent in a primary!

[relentlessly]

It’s about time that someone steps up to relentlessly call out the Clintons. It didn’t happen with Obama and we lost.

[hoosiermama]

Just compare the salaries Clinton’s pay to women and what Trump pays !

[Maverick68]

Trump is going to show the world the way to defeat the Left: Simply FIGHT them.

“I am coming for you in a way you won’t like, cannot defend, and you cannot stop me from doing it. I don’t give a damn if you’re a woman. The gloves are off and for the first time in your life, you are going to get a righteous ass-kicking.”

“Good. I can hardly wait to see and hear the debates between these two.”

There will only be one. And you can bet she is working HARD to derail that one. She will be desperately seeking cover from others to explain how Trump doesn’t deserve it. She will take umbrage at some fake insult, etc.

She will try to make it look like a principled stand, but she is terrified of him. Her only stock in trade was that everyone was afraid of her. She has no weapons against someone like Trump who isn’t.

[Maverick68]

The country will soon find out a WHOLE LOT about pedophile Bill.

[Ohioan]

The media got into the story, but the Republican House largely structured the impeachment bill around the Monica Lewinski fall-out, rather than Clinton's asexual public policy with respect to the miltary, etc..

This was my take on the choice at the time.

Bill Clinton & The Abuse Of Power.

[jetson]

Trump should bring an exorcist to the debates to uncork Hillary.

[euram]

We still have no idea if Hillary can even take a punch. Sure, she’s had some scathing articles written about her off and on for decades, but she has NEVER had anyone go toe to toe with her in a political campaign, and say things like this to her face. We know Trump can take a punch, and remain standing, he’s already withstood close to $100 MILLION in attack ads, and thousands of hours to attacks in the MSM, including FOX.

Some months ago it was said that if Trump was the nominee, Hillary was going to let Bill and 0bama respond to him while she drifted in the clouds above the fray, and we’ve seen some of that. But, that makes her look really weak, if she has to depend on men to do her heavy lifting.

The best election of my lifetime.
