Trump Labels HRC "Crooked Hillary"

[speaktruthtopower]

Looks like he's going to use the same approach in the general.

Did he time it before the NY primary on purpose?

[restorefreedom]

1. he was talking about rolling his name for her out for a while

the ny connection is possible. trump will take ny, and several other blue states, in a ge if she is the nom.



no question.

[SharonClark]

15. If Hillary is the nominee Trump will win 0 states

no question

[restorefreedom]

27. he will crush it. indys are not voting hillary. nt

[realmirage]

28. Trump's only base is white males. Trump will be the easiest candidate to beat

[restorefreedom]

31. white males, some females, some poc, many many indys

and the other reality is that trump does not have to win every demographic. if enough disillusioned dems stay home, she won't get the votes. trump can get crossover votes. she doesn't even have a lock among dems, never mind the indys. and forget crossover votes, the gop will be yanking people off their deathbeds to vote against her.

she can't win

we need someone who can

bernie

[realmirage]

35. You're reaching quite a bit there

getting "some" of all the demographics besides white males will not win anyone the presidency

Check the polls

[restorefreedom]

37. repubs have broken attendance records

dem turnout has been anemic except for millenials for bernie

you guys love math, so there it is.

she cannot win. its that simple

[realmirage]

39. i guess you haven't noticed that the republicans are devouring themselves

if anyone but trump gets it, his supporters will bail on the nominee. If trump gets it, historic numbers will come out to vote against him.

I know you're really angry that Bernie isn't ahead in the math, but I hope you are able to see all this more calmly at some point

[restorefreedom]

41. congratulations in your psychic abilities

to see into complete strangers thoughts and feelings over the internet. you should really market that.

as to the election, you believe hillary will beat trump in a ge. i believe she will get trounced. neither if us is going to change our opinion.

have a nice day

[realmirage]

45. just quoting the data

have a good one

[restorefreedom]

50. i guess its all in the interpretation. tomato, tomaaato. nt

[TheFarseer]

54. Except republicans have hated Hillary for 25 years

I can't see that all but the most stubborn will just forget that.

[Autumn]

58. If I had a dollar for every time we are told the republican party is dead

or are devouring themselves I could fly to Hong Kong and have one hell of a vacation. If Hillary is the nominee historic numbers of republicans will come out to vote against her. Trump will encourage his supporters to vote against her for the republican nominee and the Independents who break for dems will stay home along with a lot of fed up dems. Hillary won't win the White House.

I'm as calm as can be and well aware it would take a miracle to Bernie to win. I don't hide my head in the sand.

[CorkySt.Clair]

56. ...

I think I'll give your political instincts all the consideration they deserve.

Trump is at 24 percent approval with ALL women, not just Dems. He's toast.

[restorefreedom]

72. trump will beat hillary, as will cruz and kasich. nt

[CorkySt.Clair]

73. Yes, I'm sure you believe that

[restorefreedom]

75. tomato, tomaaaaato. nt

[CorkySt.Clair]

76. Reality vs. fantasy

[restorefreedom]

77. if hillary supporters want to hang out in fantasyland,

i have no interest in stopping them. to each their own

[CorkySt.Clair]

79. "To each their own."

Indeed...

[restorefreedom]

80. :) nt

[Zynx]

85. Full. Of. Sh**.

His poll numbers against her are atrocious. He'll lose by at least 10.

[Skwmom]

51. I think Trump will bring Republicans out in droves if he really goes after Clinton. n/t

[creeksneakers2]

70. Hillary clobbers Trump in New York

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/ny/new_york_trump_vs_clinton-5792.html

[Zynx]

84. Lololololololol. Trump winning NY over her? That's rich.

[yourpaljoey]

2. o boi

[msongs]

3. lately one can hardly tell the difference between the trump and sanders crowds nt

[Hortensis]

47. For sure! Lol. The GOP has hit this note for decades

and Sanders for a year, with his followers pushing right-wing propaganda for all it could manage. It may not have worked on liberals and most moderates, but the far left and strong-to-far right seemingly can't get enough.

[Fawke Em]

78. Better than not being able to tell the difference between Clinton and old-school Republican policies

[Buzz Clik]

4. There's a shock -- Trump calling someone a name.

[CorkySt.Clair]

5. ...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. Hillary had a perfect response...

I will eschew the highfalutin language my fans and foes have become accustomed to on this board and speak the idiomatic English which I am infinitely more fond of.

George Stephanopoulos asked Hillary how she felt about Herr Trump talking shit about her. She said it doesn't bother her and that's she used to being attacked. She did say it bothers her that Herr Trump talks shit about Hispanics, Muslims, women, the physically challenged, and other people.

Perfect answer.

[Buzz Clik]

16. Wow. +1

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. My language in real life is somewhere between the two extremes but I rarely swear in public.

Her response was pitch perfect. It's sad some would applaud a bully like Trump because they hate Hillary... He's a guy who regularly trashes minorities and encourages violence against those who disagree with him. He is a bad guy.

[Buzz Clik]

20. Indeed. In his own words, "He is not a good person."

[workinclasszero]

6. Trump is a nazi

with zero chances of being president, especially if the thug party big shots take the nomination away from him like they are planning to do LOL

[Jackilope]

7. Dislike Trump, but with triangulating and Clinton Foundation laundering,

Etc., who brought this on themselves?

I can't step up and argue for her. This is what happens when you push a triangulating and horrific judgement candidate.

[realmirage]

29. that's ok, you can join the republican party. it's a free country

[Jackilope]

34. No thank you, trying to get Democratic Party back on track.

Trying to prevent buyers remorse with the weak candidate...

[Lucinda]

68. Well you are lucky then because Bernie won't be the nominee.

So nothing to worry about.

[Haveadream]

81. +1!!

[Fawke Em]

83. Clinton is the weaker candidate.

The M$M is burying info on the FBI investigation (only right-win sites are reporting on it) because they're waiting until she's the nominee to bash her with it.

[4139]

49. Trump WILL bring up her transcripts... "What is she hiding? Crooked Clinton is hiding..."

[joshcryer]

63. "But."

Yeah, no, fuck Trump.

[SFnomad]

8. And the BS cheerleaders roared with approval n/t

[MineralMan]

9. Well, Hell, Then...If Donald Trump Says Something,

I'm listening, for damn certain.

Now we're quoting Trump to campaign for Bernie Sanders? Really? How strange.

[workinclasszero]

11. This place gets more insane by the day doesn't it?

Now if Herr Trump is against you...its a bad thing?!

WTH???

[MineralMan]

12. Sometimes, it's almost impossible to believe.

Feh!

[CorkySt.Clair]

13. And amazingly

The first response is even more ludicrous than the OP.

[BernieforPres2016]

14. Finally Trump tells the truth about something nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. Why am I not surprised you are showing admiration for Donald Trump.

[quickesst]

36. Personally...

I'm not so sure Donald didn't take his cue from Bernie's supporters. Didn't they come up with it first this time around?

[redstateblues]

19. Trump and Bernie fans-Birds of a feather

stick together

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. Thanks for the segue.

I don't know if I would go that far but I have no compunctions about stating there are some here who would use the words of a viper like Trump to harm Hillary because they hate her so much.

[Jackilope]

25. No... As Hillary recommends, do your research.

I don't think she actually thinks people will. Clinton ties to the Panama Papers, waffling on TPP, Keystone XL judgement, her principled statement on Gay Marriage before she evolved, emails on trade where she public ally is against the deal while advising her colleagues to vote for it, money and arms dealings with the Clinton Foundation...... We aren't even scratching surface on material here. Her recommendactions to Obama on Libya, her cozy ties with Wall St., the email judgement .... Calling HRC "crooked" is mild compared to what is coming.

In the HRC supporter bubble, you think everyone is supposed to overlook this baggage and poor judgement. Independents, Republicans, and some Democratic Party members can't snd won't compromise. Google and You Tube clips don't go away.

Bernie could have and possibly should have been much tougher from get go This is mild compared to what is coming down the road. Can't sweep off the damping stuff off the Google and rigged voting systems can work against the initial candidate establishment wanted to run.

[Jackilope]

38. You have to be an ostrichnot to see HRC negatives.

HRC supporters can never admit their candidate is GOP lite or can honestly defend her baggage, so they use the ol' "you are the problem" approach.

With that note, I'll use my time more wisely and phone bank for Bernie. I'd rather have a better world for my kids and keep what social security I have banked up than lose it to a Corporate, triangulating, fracking loving, bought out "democrat" like HRC.

[realmirage]

40. I see you've memorized Bernie's talking points, may I suggest independently researching

[BillZBubb]

61. How about taking your own advice and actually learning something.

Pretending every attack on Clinton comes from the right and is bogus is intellectual laziness or willful ignorance.

Hillary has a ton of baggage, some of it GOP fantasy (Benghazi, Whitewater), some of it real (Her cowardly and cynical IWR vote, her speeches to big donors, her email mess, the FBI investigation, her flip-flops, her dishonesty on her positions and actions, Clinton Foundation irregularities etc. etc.).

Her bad judgment and the results from that far outweigh any good she has ever done.

[Jackilope]

53. On different thread, you got a hide for this kind of tactic.

Given you've had 20 hides prior, we will just consider the source of your attack.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

I am the accused (hi, jury). I've been at DU for 15 years. I'm not a Republican plant. And I did ask my accuser if he planned to edit or delete. He says no.

JURY RESULTS

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Apr 17, 2016, 04:20 PM, and the Jury voted 5-2 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: realmirage, everyone who disagrees with you is not a Republican. Even though you have made 302 posts since you registered Monday night, April 11, 2016, it takes a lot of grit to call someone who has posted on Democratic Underground for 15 years a Republican. Try posting substance instead of name-calling.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: REALLY tired of valid questions / concerns about the Clinton candidacy being called right-wing smears. TRUTH IS TRUTH. Hide this.

Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: People are entitled to their opinions! And as an added measure the commenter explained what was intended by the comment.

26. DNFTEC

Do Not Feed the Energy Creatures. I must not feed the energy creatures. It's just idiocy. Let it go.

Arrghh it's hard not to get pulled in.

DNFTEC!

[morningfog]

60. Uh, the Trumps and Clintons are bird of a feather.

Wealthy white folk who hob nob the same circles.

[CharlotteVale]

21. But he'll invite her to his wedding.

?uuid=Xge46juxEeWI0-YhMKzJdQ

[840high]

23. They've been friends a long

time. Probably knows her quite well.

[speaktruthtopower]

64. You would think that would inhibit him..

[840high]

71. Trump wants to win - so he'll go after her.

[felix_numinous]

24. Republicans will take this tack

I guess Hillary supporters are willing to gamble the welfare of the whole country with such a massively vulnerable candidate.

[realmirage]

32. so vulnerable she has 2.4 million more votes than Bernie

[BreakfastClub]

33. What an idiot this guy is. All he's good at is coming up with juvenile names

to call people. Sorry, but the American people are not going to fall for that shit. Hillary is no more crooked than Bernie Sanders, and she's A LOT more experienced.

[IdaBriggs]

42. Well, they are friends, so I guess he can nick name her whatever he wants.

It's a free country - or in the case of the Clintons, a "fee" country.

http://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2015/jul/21/carlos-curbelo/clintons-really-did-attend-donald-trumps-2005-wedd/

The Clintons really did attend Donald Trump's 2005 wedding

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s controversial campaign could just be a ruse to sabotage the GOP, said U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla. After all, the billionaire is so friendly with Hillary Clinton, Trump invited her to his nuptials.

More at the link...

[Skwmom]

43. Maybe he finally figured out he'd better start to take her on because the general election polls

showed her beating him (and that hurts his chance of winning the primary). If he doesn't really take her on, it begs the question - exactly was his purpose for running?

[hobbit709]

44. Even a broken clock, etc.

[Skwmom]

46. Maybe Clinton should never have told people to do their research

62. "I am not a crook!"

Uh oh.

[OhZone]

82. Brilliant response!

She's so good!

<3 her!

[Skwmom]

52. And corruption breeds incompetence (because you either have to be devoid of conscience or too stupid

to realize what is going on to exist in a corrupt environment).

[Dem2]

55. But I was just repeating what he said

Amiright?

[Autumn]

65. Your problem is with Trumps name for Hillary or that it was posted here on DU?

[Dem2]

66. I never speak his name or repeat his words

If I have to explain why...

[Autumn]

67. Okay I'll go with the latter.

[LyndaG]

57. Oh, Yeah?

If Trump wants to go negative, he better buckle up. The Ds have plenty of dirt they can use against him. Hillary is used to attacks. Whenever Trump is attacked, he whines like a little wimp. NOT very Presidential.

[speaktruthtopower]

59. She's been subjected to some hideous attacks over the years...

but not directly from the opponent's platform.

Let's hope there is some room for substance in the debate.

[Major Hogwash]

69. OMG! He called her what!?!

At least she didn't hire a criminal lawyer!!

Boo-yah!!!!
