Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumHow Hillary Clinton will bait Donald Trump into making even more women hate him
So let's think of what a general election between Clinton and Trump is going to be like. Hard-fought? Absolutely. Entertaining? Goodness yes. Ugly? Count on it.
And if you had to predict what form that ugliness will take, the most likely prospect is that Trump is going to go after Clinton with some of the most sexist attacks we've ever seen in a presidential race.
It won't be the product of careful calculation; in fact, I'm sure his advisers will be frantically trying to convince him to rein in his vulgar impulses. But Trump won't be able to help himself. It's just who he is.
This is very much in line with Trump's history of boorish behavior, which you're probably familiar with. But the key point is that when Trump is challenged by a woman, he lashes back harshly, often by attacking her looks, calling her crazy, or making some other kind of sexist remark.

She's got this.

(15,805 posts)Her campaign will be churning out oppo ads against Trump, smacking him down with his own words. Just think about all the groups he has maligned, the individuals -- high and low -- that he has bad mouthed and insulted. The possibilities boggle the mind, then factor in his hilarious comments on the Trump Foreign Policy Comedy-palooza.

News was talking about it this morning.
This shouldn't damage him too much since it is a civil suit only, but it will make for political fodder.
