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.”

Read the article. The author says it was effective but was of the opinion that Trump was lying about Clinton.

Trump hit a home run today. We’ll have to wait a while to learn if the bases were loaded.


Depends on how the media buries it. If it is effective, the public won’t see much of it.

The Clinton cash book has NOT been debunked. Just because a liberal claims something doesn’t make it true.

I heard a blurb of H3ll wanting companies to share more of their profits.

Now, there are mega-corps with CEOs earning thousands of times more than others-like Zuckerberg, Cook, Ellison, and the bankers-but smaller corps don’t have that luxury, for the most part.

You mortgage yourself to the hilt, build the business, and hope the business doesn’t take everything down.

I didn’t say it was, I was saying what Slate wrote. I can’t believe how many people think I’m saying it. I clearly referred to the article.

Except it hasn’t been debunked. That is the meme of the left. The foot notes are chilling
