Trump’s Speech About Hillary Was Terrifyingly Effective (the Left is terrified)
Slate ^ | Michelle Goldberg

Posted on 06/22/2016 1:10:08 PM PDT by RoosterRedux

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.”

O.K. you win! That’s an even better description. Besides, it may be more accurate! Isn’t Hillary always looking for a restroom? Never thought it was about a hot taco though!

Meanwhile, the GOP-e is collectively clutching their pearls and fanning themselves in the Ladies Room.

Trump in a landslide.

It is game over.

Clinton responded to his speech and could not refute any of it. She is finished.

Clinton was talking about equal pay for men and women today...I think she was referring to all the minimum wage jobs the globalists envision for America.


I never understand liberal politicians talking about this.

1. The Equal Pay Act of 1963 prohibits paying women less for doing the same job.

2. The Lily Ledbetter Act made it easier to file lawsuits and seek legal relief if a woman has been paid unfairly.

3. Since the laws are already in place to address this, then the questions are:

4. What did Bill Clinton do when he was president to address women allegedly being paid less than men??

5. What has Obama done during his presidency to address this problem? Considering that the laws are already in place, Obama and Loretta Lynch already have all the legal tools they need to enforce the laws as needed.

6. And finally, what would a President Hillary do that good Democrats such as her husband and Obama were unable to do, to solve this alleged problem???

The Mainstream Media still has tremendous power, and that’s what the Republicans are afraid of. They’re afraid to attack the MSM head on. Trump lacks that fear. He knows exactly how to shout the MSM down.

Since last June, I would say he has made mincemeat out them...

They don’t know what to write, they don’t know what to say, they pace the floor all night trying to figure Trump out, ah ha they say, and then he gets on his twitter at 5 a.m. and they are back to Zero again!!!

I’m loving it!!!

“Read the whole article. He goes on about Trump using information from the Clinton cash book that has been debunked.”

The information in Clinton Cash is true. It was never debunked.

The author is a she(Michelle Goldberg) not a he. This is from Slate, a Clinton propaganda website that is against Trump. The article is dishonest and slanted against Trump. But even these paid liars have been forced to admit it was effective.

Lying Hillary only has to say it was debunked and she thinks it will go away. “Debunked” is the word of the day for hittlery’s army.

This is a prime example of why Trump won’t need to spend big bucks to get elected. He’s had this speech ready to go and timed it perfectly to deliver it when it would get the most free press coverage. Great speech and great timing, from the man who will make America great again.

It’s similar to Clinton’s War Room from the 1992 campaign. You need an instant response to an attack, and the new media permits it. Trump knows how to hit back quickly and hard.

I f’ing know that it was not debunked. I said that Slate wrote that. I’m not saying it. I did know Slate is a liberal, but I didn’t know female.

If Trump sees this as a possible scenario he either has the necessary plans to take it on when it happens or he will start dumping on Biden soon.
