How Hillary Clinton can win over horrified Republicans
Washington Post ^ | July 20, 2016 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 07/20/2016 1:28:18 PM PDT by detective

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:

That “good economy” is long forgotten.

The big issue is going to be voter fraud.

Your kind of positive spin post was all over FR before Romney’s big “win” last time.

Benghazi happened just before the election and the truth would have really hurt Obama, but the media conspired with the admin to lie about it. Also there was clearly voter fraud.

I wouldn’t be so positive. We really need divine intervention.

True, but remember Obama had built up this image as the true savior. Greek columns, 3000 people and all that. And polling indicates (as stupid as it was) that the public was still blaming Bush for what was wrong.

Hillary has neither of those things going for her.

Abraham Lincoln a “magnificent candidate?” Give me a f***ing break. It was ‘Ol Abe who started us on the road to a huge and bloated and omnipresent federal government that lords its power over the states and the people.

Well, maybe he was a magnificent candidate in the minds of the big-government Dims.

Yes, Hitlery probably win over all the whore-ified RINO women, those that are voting based strictly on sex.

Note no one talking anymore about Hillary skating.

False flag homo club shooting took it right off the headlines.

Who’s horrified ? Jeb?

Not just Jeb!
Jeb! His 287,000 voters. And every parasite, traitor, and communist in the country. Lots of people are horrified at the idea of Trump winning. That includes every fictional, dead, and illegal voter in precincts controlled by democrats.

The horrified Republicans are horrified over the cold-blooded murders, joblessness, queerness, racist hate, illimmigration and atheism they have seen so much of. Ever more closely.

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.

I may be an old conservative cynic, but I don't think those will win it for her. Here are my five:

1. Face Off! Just like in that John Woo movie, a facectomy would vastly improve her chances.

2. Huma! Huma! Beach Party Video! Men like lesbian porn, right?

3. Weiner on a bun: Anthony Weiner comes out as gay and...hey! This one makes leftist sense, because according to their math; 25% of everyone is gay. Hill needs to mine that vast trove of gay Republicans.

4. Someone else said Seppuku. There are no bad ideas, let's work with that. This is a one shot deal, so Hillary signs a binding contract that she will commit ritual Japanese suicide on January 20, 2021. Hill gets one term, and the rest of us get justice.

5. Hillary goes full Commie! In other words, she pivots to the right to appease the slightly-less wide eyed useful idiots, and all the "independents", you know, those squishes that think having no ideals is a virtue.

“The only way she can win is via massive, massive voter fraud.”........

My favorite saying.........”Never Say Never”

We can certainly expect voter fraud to be massive, on that I would bet the farm. Why do we think odumbo and his ilk are bringing all those refugees here and giving them immediate citizenship papers? This thing isn’t over yet.
