With the official nomination of Donald Trump as the Republican Party’s presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton has the opponent of her dreams — someone whose character, preparation and views are so defective as to make last night’s roll call a devastating moment in the lives of many Republicans. The GOP has had magnificent nominees (Abraham Lincoln) and likable nominees (Ronald Reagan, Dwight D. Eisenhower). It’s had admirable nominees who lost (Mitt Romney) and flawed nominees who won (Richard Nixon). It has never — and we certainly include Barry Goldwater — had a nominee who embarrasses and disgusts a significant number of people in his own party. How does Clinton, without endangering support in her own ranks, reach out to Republicans to secure her win? Here are five steps she can take:

The panic by Rubin and the other (((neocons))) is delicious. Whatever happens with Trump, their reign is over and they know it.
Lol! Now yeah, there is something I’d support her on.
Boy, Trump is really smoking out the opposition.
My wife and I were talking last night about Melania and her speech. My wife was thrilled - ecstatic. I watched it also and thought it a very good effort - not one for the ages, but that isn’t the point.
My wife was a little pissed off at me and asked my why my heart wasn’t overjoyed and uplifted by her speech (I confess my wife is a Czech Republic native girl back when it was Czechoslovakia - she escaped in 1968 with her family). She was disappointed in me.
I only could tell her that my elation wasn’t at Melania’s speech; it would be election night when I see all the blowhard, piss ant liberal ‘journalists’ and RINOs slit their effing wrists on the evening of November 8. She didn’t stop laughing for a quite a while and ended up forgiving me.
1. Resist the urge to defame the entire party.
2. Paint the picture.
3. Commit herself to bipartisanship in foreign policy.
4. She can defend George W. Bush now and then — against Trump.
5. Elevate the qualities Trump lacks; support the values he derides.
Pole dance?
McLame has always been just another DC Corruptocrat. He lost me at Lincoln Guarantee.
If she’s doing this bad now, just think what the numbers are going to look like in November.
Says all I need to know right there.
Jennifer Rubin is horrifying!!!! I am pretty sure she just doesn’t like all the BEAUTY in the Trump family.....she is one FUGLY girl.
If she wins them over, hon, they aren’t Republicans.
A majority of the GOP primary electorate did not vote for Trump, ....15.000,000 is something to sneeze about?
I read as far as “Washington Post.”
The rest is PURE PROPAGANDA.
Republicans that know what is going on in the world are horrified of Clinton. Stupid people could get bought only by Clinton.
The dem candidate is a lying criminal. Anyone else would be headed to jail for what she did with her illegal private email server. She lied repeatedly about it when the American people were looking for answers. The high level corruption involved with this case is obvious to anyone with brain.
Her husband has been accused of rape or sexual assault by at least 13 women who have been identified or come forward. He was impeached and disbarred for lying under oath in a sexual harassment lawsuit brought by one of those victims.
Trump is far from my ideal candidate but there is nothing you could do or say to prevent me from voting for him - and against her. Pray that enough Americans feel likewise.
This list shows the author is a screwball and can’t comprehend the concept of secondary effects.
#3 and #4 will tick off her base, particularly the CodePink weirdos.
Whatever she *might* gain from the Republicans she doesn’t have already (GOPe), she loses from her base.
She does all 5 (doubtful for her), at best it’s a wash.
Jebbifer Rubin is a propagandist for the open borders crowd.
I knew they would start openly backing Hillary.
They cannot allow the citizens to elect a President who stops the Cheap Labor Express.
I just don’t get how anyone thinks this thing is going to be close.....
Trump just destroyed the entire GOP field, took out 16 challengers while barely breaking a sweat.
Hillary is spending gobs and gobs of money in JULY and dropping like a rock in the polls... this thing was NEVER a race folks... everything is going against the Dems... the only chance they had was for Republicans to put up someone Hillary could paint as a boogey man and play vote for me because I’m not him... and with a standard politician it might have been able to work, with Trump? Not a prayer.
Understand this isn’t an ideological election, its not two parties trying their best to say nothing and offend no one and then hoping for the better GOTV in a handful or two states to pull out a win.
This is an election about disgust, and the abject disgust with the political class on all sides of the aisle is what drove Trump and on the left drove Bernie’s support as well. Trump’s entire campaign, is really I will unapologetically put America First.... this should be the absolute BASE stand for any politician regardless of party, but it hasn’t been for a long long time... the people know it, and they are sick of it.
It isn’t about incomes, education, race, or even ideology, its about recognizing your country is being sold down the river by the political class for the gain of themselves and the elites who have the money and access. And the vast mojority of American’s have realized this, the know it intrinsicly in their guts...
They see a little girl being raped and the politicians more worried about silencing the story because mulsim immigrants did it, rather than protecting the victim... they know whats what... they see companies shut down a plant to move it to mexico, and those that make those decisions get bonuses while they are left out of work and their towns decline... they see coal mines being shut down, and entire counties being decimated so some politician can claim some environmental win with some group or another than funds him.... THey know this nation’s greatness and they see nothing but excuses from their leaders when it comes to actually doing something....
Don’t tell us we can’t enforce our laws! This is the USA, we Cured Polio, put men on the Moon, built the Panama Canal, Won 3 world wars (yes folks the cold war was a world war).... don’t tell us we can’t possible enforce our laws, and protect our borders and children... Don’t tell us we have to let barbarians and animals...
Folks know better.... every time Hillary pops her head up and tries to defend some idiotic liberal world view folks see it for what it is...
I am not saying don’t fight hard, but this thing was over before it began.. Trump just executed a hostile take over of the GOP, while Hillary could barely take out the biggest joke of a candidate they could find.... She has no support, NONE..... She’ll get the folks who would vote Democrat, no matter what, and that’s really about it. The new england/rust belt firewall is going to crumble on election night.
The only reason anyone will need to be up past 10pm on election night is to find out exactly how badly Hillary is going to get spanked.... it will obvious she’s lost by no later than 10pm
She can totally win.
She’ll just cheat. :)
It’s that easy. :)
They're working on it.
