Clinton Campaign Plans to Pull a Romney on Donald Trump

A new spin on an old attack

As they gather in Philadelphia Monday to nominate Hillary Clinton, Democrats plan to take a lesson, if not outright direction, from their playbook for defeating the last wealthy Republican nominee, Mitt Romney.

Four years ago, Barack Obama relentlessly caricatured Romney as an out-of-touch millionaire, who could not relate to the needs and concerns of ordinary workers. Clinton’s campaign plans to do the same — and worse — with their new enemy, Donald Trump, honing their attack on the bombastic billionaire, as a leader who only looks out for himself.

Joel Benenson, the Obama-turned-Clinton ad-maker, previewed the assault in an interview with TIME. “He’s been a deadbeat when it comes to paying people who did work for him, and I don’t think that’s what white working-class voters are looking for in a President,” said Benenson.

They are publishing a graphic novel version of Clinton Cash! Brilliant move! Just think of how many...

... Pokémon, comic book NIVoters might read it

All the facts in the book/movie have never been challenged in court by the Clinton Criminal Enterprises, Inc.!

Is that because of "fear of 'discovery?'"

Trump’s Wife Melania said in an Interview that before her Husband started running for Office nearly everyone liked him.

As soon as he decided to Run, half those same people hate him.

We live in interesting times.

This campaign has all the hallmarks of a gigantic PR disaster for the Clinton campaign. All Trump needs to do is point out the financial shenanigans of the Clinton Foundation and she’s immediately done.

Even the MSM can’t help. They have discredited themselves.

Hillary is an out of touch millionaire. And I think there are a lot of voters who wish they had voted for Romney 3 years ago. They probably won’t be fooled twice.

Like that isn’t going to $h!t in Hillary’s mouth. Obummer might have the ability to carry something like this off, but Hillary would just look like a SNL skit.

Just mention the hospital in Haiti that the Clintons took donations for and never built.

Trump builds things.

Donald Trump is an out of touch billionaire, says the corrupt, out of touch multi-millionaire. By the way, how does a politician wind up with a net worth in the 100’s of millions? Just sayin.

But Hillary can’t go out in the press to charm (she is incapable) or convince - she has to be hidden from the press. Don’t expect a lot of debates.

Sorry to disagree with you.

Trump could always borrow Clint Eastwood's "empty chair..."

Yes, his kids do say a lot about him. Could have been very easy for any one of his kids to rely on the old man's money. He didn't allow them that luxury though.

Also it is not as a result of being an ultra authoritarian either. They clearly are products of love.

Romney didn’t lose because he is rich. After all, Hillary is also rich and out of touch with the people.
Romney lost because millions of evangelicals stayed home rather than vote for a Mormon.
