Little Is Off Limits as Donald Trump Plans Attacks on Hillary Clinton

Donald J. Trump plans to throw Bill Clinton’s infidelities in Hillary Clinton’s face on live television during the presidential debates this fall, questioning whether she enabled his behavior and sought to discredit the women involved.

Mr. Trump will try to hold her accountable for security lapses at the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and for the death of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens there.

And he intends to portray Mrs. Clinton as fundamentally corrupt, invoking everything from her cattle futures trades in the late 1970s to the federal investigation into her email practices as secretary of state.

Drawing on psychological warfare tactics that Mr. Trump used to defeat “Lyin’ Ted” Cruz, “Little Marco” Rubio and “Low-Energy” Jeb Bush in the Republican primaries, the Trump campaign is mapping out character attacks on the Clintons to try to increase their negative poll ratings and bait them into making political mistakes, according to interviews with Mr. Trump and his advisers.

1. Sure go for it

I'm sure he ain't got no baggage to worry about

[TipTok]

8. It's a weird election because the core supporters...

... for both Trump and Clinton absolutely do not care about their candidates multiple and egregious failings and issues that would normally sink a campaign.

It's all about what they think will happen in the future.

It's a fight for a small percentage of folks.

21. Not so quick Orange One- he wants to go up against Clinton

Clinton wants to go up against trump too

Sanders would win. Clinton.. nyet..

[Democat]

2. Clinton's dream is Trump acting drunk at the debates

Imagine how that would motivate anti-Trump voters.

[Jesus Malverde]

13. He claims to never used alcohol...nt

[Baobab]

22. Trump does not drink at all, ever.

His drug, he would have us believe, is sex.

[femmocrat]

3. For such a vain person, does he not own a mirror?

He is no model of moral perfection.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

16. Look at your own weaknesses, and attack your opponent for having the same?

Isn't that the Rove playbook?

[Liberal_in_LA]

20. plus 100

[Sunlei]

4. Republicans must be so proud of the 'best' their party can scrape-up for President.

[underpants]

5. Psychological warfare? Oh please

Being a loudmouth a-hole is not some sophisticated psychological warfare tactic.

I've come to the conclusion that Trump is just following the WWE professional wrestling model for his campaign.

14. + 1

[Ohio Joe]

15. +2

[frylock]

6. Delicious.

[Kingofalldems]

7. Joe and Mika were trolling America with this news today.

Joe was saying 'this is really bad for Hillary' while Mika sat there and shook her head from side to side. She literally shook her head for 10 minutes until I turned it off.

9. Infidelity King

So the man who cheated on two wives and probably has already done the same to #3 is going to throw dirt? His hands look mighty dirty to me. If the media weren't so in love with Trump they should have already pilloried him with this crap.

[starroute]

10. You're overlooking the innate sexism

In Trump-world, it's all about dominance. Men display their alpha male status by grabbing all the women they can get. Women reveal their subordinate status by tolerating and even enabling the infidelity of them men.

So this isn't about cheating. It's about relative status.

[NoMoreRepugs]

11. HRC will be so well prepped for her debates with T-Rump

I expect this strategy to explode in his orange face...

[6000eliot]

12. Hillary isn't a political lightweight like those morons.

She is a seasoned politician with 30 years' experience dealing with these baseless attacks. The orange looney won't know what hit him.

[w4rma]

17. Trump has promoted his brand, in big media, for about as long. Underestimate him at your peril. (nt)

[SDJay]

18. It'd Obviously Never Happen...

but wouldn't it be something if HRC, instead of referring to him as "Mr. Trump," instead just referred to him as "Mr. Trump and his tiny little penis?"

Drumpf: "Crooked Hillary enabled the infidelity of her husband!"

HRC: "Mr. Trump and his tiny little penis have great imaginations. Mr. Trump, do you and your tiny little penis spend more time on Twitter or trying to make things up about my family?"

He would absolutely come unglued.

In all seriousness, there's been a lot of talk about how to take on Drumpf. I think this is how you do it - you utterly out-adolescent him in insults. HRC won't do that of course, and again in all seriousness nor should she, but I wouldn't mind a faction of her surrogates making constant, repeated, non-stop jokes about Drumpf's little manhood or the gallons of orange paint he has delivered to his house every week. He'd freaking lose his mind.

19. Not such a good idea, Tiny Hands

It's a near-certainty that any large real estate developer in the New York metro area has dealings with organized crime. And we know about Trump's personal love of adultery, his four bankruptcies, two divorces, admitting he'd fuck Ivanka if she wasn't his own daughter... Bring up Bill's BJ, young man, and Hillary will lay out your entire sordid past. And she'd do it, too.
