Trump’s Speech About Hillary Was Terrifyingly Effective (the Left is terrified)

Slate ^ | Michelle Goldberg

In May, Morning Consult polled people with an unfavorable view of Hillary Clinton about why they didn’t like her. Fifty-eight percent said she was too liberal, while 22 percent said she was too conservative. But 82 percent of Hillary-averse voters said she was corrupt, and 88 percent said she was untrustworthy. These are the beliefs that unite her foes across the political spectrum. It’s why Trump, with his devious talent for derisive nicknames, was smart to dub her “Crooked Hillary.”

Some of the examples Trump chose to reinforce this caricature are true. Describing Clinton as “a world-class liar,” he said, “Just look at her pathetic email and server statements, or her phony landing in Bosnia where she said she was under attack but the attack turned out to be young girls handing her flowers, a total self-serving lie. Brian Williams’ career was destroyed for saying far less.” One could quibble about whose exaggerations have been greater, but Clinton’s Bosnia tale really was mostly made up, and it will likely haunt her throughout the campaign.

Trump is clearly hoping to reach working-class whites in places like Ohio, where a recent poll shows him tied with Clinton. “We’ll never be able to fix a rigged system by counting on the same people who rigged it in the first place,” he said. “The insiders wrote the rules of the game to keep themselves in power, and in the money. That’s why we’re asking Bernie Sanders’ voters to join our movement, so together we can fix the system for all Americans. This includes fixing all of our many disastrous trade deals. Because it’s not just the political system that’s rigged. It’s the whole economy.”

You’re not the only one. I’ve been bombarded. Wish everyone would bombard with comments on the liberal blogs that are actually putting out the lies.

It is remembered how Uncle Joe made such a fool of Lyn’ Ryan in their debate. Bizarre doesn’t even begin to define it. In the final minutes it was difficult to comprehend what had just been seen. Uncle Joe is like a puppy we had. He sneaks into the bathroom, grabs a roll of toilet tissue and prances around the house with streamers following. When confronted, he stands and looks with puppy dog eyes: See what I accomplished? I swear he even has that stupid looking smile on his face.

They’re scared. That’s a good thing.

A very good thing.

Edmund?

[dontreadthis]

“Could anyone imagine Romney giving a speech like that? Or Jeb Bush? Or any Republican in or out of office?”

Andrew Dice Clay, but we’ll never see that.
Trump will just have to do.

[goldstategop]

Trump is not arguing a legal case; he’s arguing a character case.

And in the court of public opinion it rings true because well, that’s Hillary.

Its not like she can say she’s never backtracked because she has so many times that people have lost count.

And that’s going to hurt Hillary very badly as she scores very low on questions of honesty, truthfulness and trust.

I was even pleased with Limbaugh today, (Rush that is). David is likely another matter, but who cares?

I thought he offered a couple of good points and ideas, too.



Rush: "She is the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency." The most corrupt person to ever seek the presidency. He said things like, "For the amount of money Hillary Clinton would spend on refugees, we could rebuild every inner city in America." He made it clear to anybody watching that Mrs. Clinton's policies, which are an echo of Barack Obama's policies, are gonna continue to wreak havoc and damage on America's minorities.

These things are just not said.

You gotta... I mean, you and I say them, everybody else says them, but in official campaigns where the Clintons are involved, nobody goes this far with them. And you know it as well as I do.

We've always wondered why for 27 years. "What are people afraid of? Why do they always pull back?" Well, Trump didn't pull back much today. He pointed out all of the money that she gets from these Islamic states that execute gays and LGBT people.


And he used one of my favorite talking points about all the money she made in two years delivering speeches to the banks. I think that's powerful, because I think so many Democrat voters think that the banks and Wall Street and CEOs are wedded to the GOP. "The GOP is the party of the rich! Bankers are obviously rich. Wall Streeters are obviously rich," and Trump made it clear as a bell today that it's the Democrat Party in bed with the banks. So you wonder if time low-information people see this.

By the time Millennials -- who are thinking they're gonna vote for Hillary just 'cause it's a cool thing to do. By the time they see this, is it gonna open anybody's eyes?

We don't know. Time will tell. Trump made it clear throughout this speech that he's with the American people. Everything he does... In fact, that was a very strong beginning to his speech, why he even wants to be president.

He said, "People have asked me why I'm running. Well, I've built an amazing business I love. I get to work side by side with my children every day.

"We come to work together, we turn visions into reality, we think big, we make it happen. I love what I do. I'm grateful beyond words to the nation that's allowed me to do it. So when people ask me why I'm running, I answer, 'I'm running to give back to this country which has been so good to me.'"

You know, some of you may be saying, "Oh, no! Don't!" Folks, that's not bad. This is how the people Trump needs to reach talk. It is how they think. You and I all know the only people who need to be "giving back" are thieves, criminals and corrupt individuals that are taking things that are not theirs.

The successful don't need to be giving anything. But to the people Trump needs to reach, that's a big deal. Giving something back is a huge deal. You'll notice every successful athlete uses that at some point in his career during an interview. "I'm gonna give something back. Gotta give something back to the community." "Yaaaay! Right on!" People just fall for it. It's a necessary inclusion. Trump put it in there. By the way, this comes one day after a Hillary Clinton speech where she created the biggest illusion in the world, and that is that we have a roaring economy out there.

That everything is phenomenal, but it could be better, and she's gonna do it. And Trump came out and blew that sky-high. (summarized)

"When I see crumbling roads and bridges or the dilapidated airports or the factories moving overseas to Mexico or to other countries, I know these problems can all be fixed, but not by Hillary Clinton. Only by me."

And he made it clear countless times throughout the speech that his desire is to be with you. His desire is to be with the American people, not "with her."

He's not with the Democrat Party. He's not with the insiders. He's not with the elites. He's winning. He went back to that, zeroed back to that or circled back to it countless times. He spoke positive... You know, this is another thing.





She's rolling in foreign and Wall St dough!

Never assume something is obvious just because it’s obvious to you.

If you had been clearer in your original post about your meaning, I never would have said anything.

Clarity is the handmaiden of brevity - the soul of wit.

[TomGuy]

National/home security and pocketbook economics are the 2 most important issues.

National/home security. Trust Hillary with this?

Pocketbook economics [Jobs Jobs Jobs]. Trust Hillary with this?

[EQAndyBuzz]

“Edmund?”

Yes. Like Sir Edmund Hillary. The person she was named after.

[Old Yeller]

He better make sure hellery’s lackey airplane mechanics don’t infiltrate whoever works on his planes. Since so many planes mysteriously crashed during the Clinton years killing lots of people who knew too much.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

We will have to wait until her speech writers come up with some ziggers to fire back at Trump-—Now it looks like Hillary is a Destroyer, Trump is a battleship. Its going to get real ugly, real fast.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Ok...Mara Liason over at NPR says the speech was dynamite....now SLATE...now I am worried...I loved the speech....even Rush Limbaugh who I stopped listening too as he defended Cruz had nothing but high marks today... when’s the other shoe going to fall?
Is this that Democrat come to Jesus movement to dump the Hillary? Nah....she won the election fair and square
Well I hope Trump keeps campaigning with this tone...its not as exciting as his shoot from the hip but right now we have to get him elected POTUS! Go Trump!

[Vince Ferrer]

I hope this changes a few minds in the #NeverTrump movement.

No. The die hard #NeverTrumpers are the ones profiting from the system as it is. This speech gave them a heart attack. It was their worst nightmare.

[tennmountainman]

That is because not one single Republician has ever taken on
Hillary, Bill or Obama.

Trump is going to do what Republicians have been afraid to do.
Expose her and Bill for the grifters they are.

[Vince Ferrer]

Trump is the first republican to effectively use the internet to get around the media. He is the first reality tv show star to run for office. The ruling class scoffed at him for that, but it taught him the real skills he needed to go around the media.

[Seruzawa]

Eh. It’s the FR. Plenty of people who type faster than they think (or before they read). You do have asbestos underwear, right?

[Salvation]

Go, Trump, Go!

[TomGuy]

We’ll probably have to wait for her to sober up before she tries to fire back.

And every word will have to pass the focus group approval. That takes a while.
