So, basically, they are going to source their ads from the National Enquirer.

Not surprising really, considering that one of Trumps big allies in the media owns that rag.

For a Republican this is considered recycling.

Get ready to see THIS face a lot, boys. You know, like you did during the Benghazi Committee?

All she needs to do is hammer on is the ‘incompetence’ question because she’s got the perfect opponent for that. The strategy Ann Richards used when she became Texas governor is what you’re looking for.

LOL…I can’t decide whether my favorite moment was Jordan getting his head handed to him, Roby getting laughed at or Roskam getting all pissy because by this time it was his turn it was obvious that Hillary wasn’t even working up a sweat.

I thought of that scene in ‘Boondock Saints’ where Willem Dafoe says, “We’ll start the ass kicking with YOU.”

In other words, the demographic makeup of the electorate is such that there are large swaths of voters, particularly young ones (especially the ones who now idolize Sanders), who don’t know shit about the 1990s, which means that if we re-litigate all the disproven bullshit we came up with back then in order to misinform these people, there won’t be time for anyone to re-educate them as to the fact that all of this shit is disproven. Heck, some, like the Bernie folks, will love what we have to say about her so much that they won’t care what the truth is.

I envision an ad:

“Donald Trump exaggerates the size of two things in his pants. The biggest lie is about the size of his… wallet!”

But I never claimed to have Hillary’s class.

I would Heart this a hundred times, if I could. Hillary can’t win this by trying to fly over the combat zone. She needs to fight on the ground and be seen as fighting. If not, she will only embolden Trump and the Republicans, and dispirit the millions who support her and desperately want her to win. Let’s start by looking to 1948, when Truman was trying to carry forward the Roosevelt New Deal, but was faced with a fractured Democratic Party (broken simultaneously from the far left and the far right) and a united Republican Party. But Truman came out of the Democratic convention and fought across the country, mincing no words and taking on the Republican “Do Nothing Congress”-- and worse – who would repeal the New Deal. So, I think Hillary needs to transform her campaign into updated Truman 1948. Of course there are big differences bewteen '48 and today-- and I don’t need to be schooled on them. But like 1948 when Truman called out Dewey and the Republicans, there are millions of Americans just waiting for Hillary to call out Trump and the Republicans for what they are and bash them every day. Hope springs eternal.

Translation: “We got nothing, so we are going to sling mud as fast and as furiously as possible to feed the 24x7 news and keep anyone from actually asking any policy questions of our nominee.”
This is the old: “If you can’t dazzle them with genius, baffle them with Bull Shit” strategy.

“Republicans have been accused in the past, and some degree rightfully so, of not tearing the bark off of our opponents, and this year Donald Trump has made it very clear we are going to be aggressive" to get a Republican in the White House, Sean Spicer RNC chief strategist and spokesman, said.

Where are the Bernie fans?

Got my new bumpersticker.

Most people don’t know that HRC has a spiritual advisor, she’s a Methodist, he’s a Baptist but it works. He says she’s misunderstood, and the woman he knows is whip smart, relentlessly curious, present, spiritual and even extemporaneous. None of this can be said about her eventual opponent, and he believes she has an opportunity to draw stark contrasts on issues of faith and values and speak from her heart. trumpet will continue to blare and if she can stay calm while he goes ballistic, people will see the difference. But I wonder how many people are undecided at this point. If nothing else it might change the “unfavorable” thing she’s hung with.

amazein aint it… not a bad word from any of’em… wonder if Clinton will see them commin…lmao

Sanders and Von Clownstick are simply two sides of the same coin. One side believes government screws up but on the whole solves problems if it would just do something. The other side believes government can do NOTHING but hurt you… So it should do nothing. This is the first election I have ever seen where the big slogan can be used by BOTH parties: “Vote for me! I’m not the other guy!”

If that indeed is what’s happening here --and I think it is-- those independents are not going to be swayed to your side by listing your programs or how good you are. They are not going to be swayed to your side, period. The only thing that will move them is fear of the OTHER side. So, use what Von Clownstick is against him, which is a great big ‘screw you’ to the Establishment.

You need to hammer on something like: “You can’t get what you need by throwing up your hands and saying ‘bleep everybody!’ It may feel good but when has that EVER worked? It’s sounds corny but you simply have to try to eventually get there. My opponent doesn’t even want to try. Which is weird. Look, here is what Von Clownstick stands for, if anything.”

“You make me sick, Homer. You’re the one who told me I could do anything if I just put my mind to it!” – Bart Simpson

“Well, now that you’re a little bit older, I can tell you that’s a crock! No matter how good you are at something there’s always about a million people better than you.” – Homer Simpson

“Gotcha. Can’t win, don’t try.” – Bart Simpson
