Donald Trump was mocked for trying to address Haiti based on his experience "at Little Haiti the other day in Florida," but while his takedown didn't really get off the ground, he did manage to make his main point. "I want to tell you, they hate the Clintons, because what's happened in Haiti with the Clinton Foundation is a disgrace. And you know it, and they know it, and everybody knows it," Trump said.
It is a train of thought Trump has been following for a few weeks now. As The Washington Post writes:
Trump comes late to Haiti. The Clintons have had a special interest in the country ever since they honeymooned there in 1975. President Bill Clinton restored Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide to power in 1994 after he was expelled in a coup. Clinton and former president George W. Bush agreed to head the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, created in 2010 after the devastating earthquake, to raise billions in aid. And Clinton became co-chair of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission.
Trump is right that many Haitians now loathe the Clintons. ..................
Katz added that while Clinton's rejoinder was weak, she scraped by unscathed. "That's because if you really wanted to nail her, you'd ask her about interfering in the 2011 election.
You'd ask about why reconstruction was so explicitly meant to benefit American businesses and customers. You'd ask why after she promised to do aid differently after the quake the U.S. government and American aid groups did the same old thing," Katz explained. Read his entire breakdown here.

“There’s not a one among us who has been in a heated discussion that didn’t walk away with something we wish we’d said.”
Hear, hear.
That said; although I believe his strategy is thought out far deeper than most of us believe or observe; he does not seem that well prepared for the debates. Just sayin’.
I also think that the debates have been damaging to HRC. More corrosive than damaging; but damaging.
Although Haiti is absolutely egregious, there is also a risk that developing too many attack topics will spread out the Kardashianeurons of the typical voter just a bit too much.
There are plenty of missed opportunity calls when the answer time is confined to 2 minutes or whatever it was.
I’m not disagreeing with you.
There is simply not enough time in a 90 minute debate to mention all of Hitlery’s crookedness and dirty deals. “Nasty woman” about covered it.
It’s clear you know nothing about me, and weirdly believe that schoolyard insult is an adequate substitute for a level of conversation it’s clear you will never attain.
You say such stupid and worthless things, it’s no surprise I’ve never heard of you. Go back to your well-deserved obscurity.
I can’t vote for Trump ever for President of the Debate Club.
They had best find a better source for news and information then, because all they are getting is lies, and they are this close || to losing their country.
Exactly. I’m already sick of the Monday morning quarterback/doctors and their “He woulda, coulda, shoulda done A, B, C, D ... “ post-mortems.
He wrapped-up the nasty woman in cellophane.
Well done Mr. Trump, soon president-elect.
They won't. There are lots of people that don't pay much attention to politics except snippets they see on MSM.
Or the uranium deal to Russia. Uranium that Iran or NK will use to blow us up.
Then they are not going to remain free, and I’d say that there is at least some chance that they will not survive.
They have no idea how far leftists are willing to go to achieve Utopia, and they further likely have no idea what happens to useful idiots when useful idiots no longer have a use.
The thing I was wishing that Trump would mention is the sale of US uranium to Russia in an apparent quid pro quo.
Like yours? Cruzlim
Instead of trying to defeat Trump, like some sort of whacked out Cruzlim, why not help Cruz in 2018 in his re-election bid that he will probably end up losing
See, use your effort towards something positive, instead of ripping a part Trump because he did not do exactly what you wanted him to do at the debate
Trump killed it, Kasich, Jebby, or Cruz would have been cannon fodder for the democrats. Nice seeing a fighter in someone on our side. Monday morning quarterbacking has never won a game, and Monday morning quarter backing after your team just destroyed their opponent is even stupider
You seem really angry. Unhinged, even. What’s the matter with you?
That’s what Trump did.
She thought she was in yoga class.
When you've debated Hillary in front of 70 million people then you may actually have an opinion worth something.
If we’re gonna shut down comment from everyone who hasn’t run for president, it’s gonna get awfully quiet around here.
What’s the matter with YOU?
Another worthless Cruzlim
Let the People Speak!
GO TRUMP/PENCE!!!
That’s all you got, huh? You are pathetic.
