rushmc 18 #1828 September 15, 2016 Here is exactly what Hillary said and you and many accept as your truth QuoteYou know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic -- you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people -- now 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks -- they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America." And if one cares to go back to the hacked DNC emails you will see that those in the DNC are more of this than Trump supporters.

SkyDekker 1,145 #1829 September 15, 2016 rushmc***Yeah, but we all know what Colin Powell is. Hint: he's not white. I also expect the Trumpsters to start excoriating Powell for his use of a private e-mail server and for lying to the UN about Iraq's WMDs. Loser. Sad. He did not have a private server. and Powell has never been a real republican And Trump is a real Republican? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He stated his belief that Trump is refusing to release anything about his medical records or history for fear that it could lead to this particular detail being uncovered from his past. ===================== He's crazy, she's evil.

The Supreme Court. Especially now that it is looking more and more like the Republicans will keep the Senate. And I don't think they will let the Dems filibuster those nominations after what they did.

He didn't create these sorts of attitudes, he just made it ok to be that way publicly. After 8 years of one of "them" in the White House, that demographic is apoplectic over the idea of "her" there. And, on a lighter note, Stephen King compared Trump to Cthulhu. Apparently, Cthulhu was not pleased."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

Agreed. There will be very little substance and a lot of name calling. He is going to use deplorable in almost every answer. He will also use some backhanded compliment about her health. The fact check after the debate will show he got most of his facts wrong, but his supporters won't care. None of it will matter.

Does Hillary have to pander to the Donald haters? she already has them. it's so stupid and pointless - it's a race to see if the other side drives away the undecideds more I'd rather see a candidate just ignore the other one and not even give them more press - and then focus on selling their platform. But we must not be wired receptive to that.... ...

billvon 2,434 #1844 September 16, 2016 >1 - not much talking about what the candidate wants to do I suspect Clinton will do a lot of that. Most of her speeches are like that now - boring policy speeches. But at the end she'll send some barb at Trump. And Trump will go ballistic. And the next day all the media will be talking about will be the barb, Trump's response, and whether she deserved it or not. They might cover her dress, or his hair, or whether or not he looked presidential, or whether or not Clinton looked sick. But policy? Nobody reads that, according to the media. >I'd rather see a candidate just ignore the other one and not even give them more press - The reason that will never happen is not the candidates, it's the press. Clinton could give all the speeches on policy she wants. (So could Trump, if that was his thing.) And then Trump will pull some reality-TV show thing, with lots of flash and controversy - and that's all the media will cover. Perfect example right this minute. Clinton just gave a boring policy speech. Trump just announced that he thinks Obama was born in the US, which everyone else in the US has known for about a decade now. He played it up, saying he had a "big announcement," then did it at a flashy photo-op at his new hotel. Which is CNN leading with? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

winsor 187 #1846 September 16, 2016 billvon... Trump just announced that he thinks Obama was born in the US,... WHAT?!! I think it's completely obvious that Obama's dad, on student's income, brought his 8 1/2 month pregnant 18 year old corn fed cutie "wife" all the way back to Kenya so she could get the most modern medical care possible and a warm welcome by his other wife and the rest of the family, and returned immediately to school thereafter. How could anyone think otherwise? Who pulled the wool over Trump's eyes? It's a conspiracy, I tell ya. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerryBaumchen 1,065 #1847 September 16, 2016 Hi rehmwa, Quoteit's a race to see if the other side drives away the undecideds more I agree. Each of them have their supporters & their haters; and those people are not changing no matter what happens. IMO it is a race to keep their supports and, hopefully, pick up some of the very few really undecideds. From what I am reading about the various polls, the numbers are not moving very much; a little, but not much. If nothing substantially changes until Nov, then she will win it.

billvon 2,434 #1848 September 16, 2016 >The Headlines just keep getting better for him. I suspect he won't like this one: ==================== Trump Foundation Investigations Now Multiplying by Shawn Tully Fortune Magazine September 14, 2016, 10:48 PM EDT The question is what penalties could Trump or his foundation be facing. Until a few weeks ago, the Clinton Foundation was a magnet for controversy, while the tiny Donald J. Trump Foundation remained in the shadows. Suddenly, a damaging expose in the Washington Post and the disclosure of an illegal campaign contribution paid by the Trump Foundation to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, who subsequently decided not to pursue an investigation of scandal-plagued Trump University, has unleashed a storm of criticism and rendered the once obscure charity a major drag on the Trump campaign. But what legal problems does the Trump Foundation really pose for the Republican candidate? On September 13, Eric Schneiderman, the New York State Attorney who is leading the lawsuit against Trump University, stated that his office is now investigating the Donald J. Trump Foundation. “We have been concerned that the Trump Foundation many have engaged in some impropriety,” Schneiderman told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “My interest in this is in my capacity as regulator of non-profits in New York State.” . . . The charges that the Congressional Democrats and CREW want the Justice Department and Florida US Attorney to investigate are totally different, and far more serious. These are criminal accusations of bribery against Trump, and in the case of CREW’s complaint in Florida, of soliciting and accepting a bribe by Bondi. The letter to the Attorney General cites possible violation of two federal bribery statutes, including one “pertaining to bribery schemes that deprive constituents of the honest services of public officials.” The accusations hinge on whether Bondi declined to investigate Trump because of the $25,000 contribution. Both Trump and Bondi vehemently deny there was any connection between the donation and her decision not to take action. =========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good question, and I wish she would spend more time talking about that instead of how bad Trump is. The world knows what Trump is, he has done a wonderful job of showing it. And she has lots of others to point that out. She needs to move on to ignoring him and focusing on herself and her plans.Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.
