Trump Campaign Video Misrepresents Clinton's Position On Taxes Back to article

[asturcot]

This years version of “You didn’t build that”…

Meh…

[maximus]

And the under-educated electorate (aka GOP) laps it up like holy water…

[clauscph]

As all things Trump: Pathetic, amateurish,

[zsak]

Trump’s words don’t need mangling to put him in a bad light.

I was online the other day and saw this. All the rightwing sites went crazy. I watched the video. Hillary says And we AREN’T going to raise taxes. She says AREN’T. It’s a lil inaudible but you can tell she said AREN’T. That’s why the crowd cheered. The right wants to hear what it wants to hear… Hillary should just clarify it. How freaking desperate is the GOP.

[pshah]

No wonder Trump has such a mortal fear of foreigners…he has a hard enough time with plain English.

[maximus]

I just truly hope the last few weeks of Donnie’s psychotic episodes have finally convinced any remaining Bernie hold-outs that Drumpf MUST be defeated, and not to waste their votes on Johnson or Stein.

Ailes is on the job.

JFC. There’s no bottom limit to childish unseriousness of this campaign or its leader. It’s like we’re all 9 again and someone says “it’s not…” and Trump is the class clown who yells “You said ‘snot!’ Ha ha hey everyone didja hear that? She said snot!” Pathetic in a grown man and not that promising in the 9-year-old, frankly. But that’s the choice, in a nutshell. Poo-flinging monkeys or serious humans.

Trump Campaign Video Misrepresents Clinton’s Position On Taxes

I could swear I just saw a Donald Trump video where he said, “I’m going to cut taxes for the rich, and screw everyone else!”

Then there was the video where I saw Trump say, “I’m going to cut funding for border patrol, so I can give tax relief to the super-wealthy, like me, and I’m going to let immigrants flood the country to lower labor costs!”

Then there was the one where Trump screamed, “I AM LUCIFER! HEAR ME ROAR!”

I think it’s time the DNC started putting out ads highlighting those speeches, and making sure they’re subtitled in BIG LETTERS, just so the electorate doesn’t miss anything important.

We have good reason to expect the debates will be high-minded, serious policy discussions between mature adults with expertise in governance:

Hillary and the moderator.

Which is why Charlie Pierce’s last two pieces in Esquire are so on point. The last one is on how the Democrats have to bring about the destruction of the GOP of the past 20 years. The one before that is on the stupidity the GOP is parroting of claiming that the $400M payment to Iran in settlement of the 1979 arms deal gone bad is a payment for release of prisoners. He offers to revisit Ronald Reagan’s ACTUAL payments to Iran for hostages. Anyway, you are absolutely right about what the post Reagan GOP has become.

[whiteb]

This ad is completely false. Another juvenile baseless attack.

[gelfling545]

“Misrepresents”. Wow, there’s a shock. When can we finally call it “outright lying”?

[ralph_vonholst]

Trump’s “vapid response team”.

[tomanjeri]

Isn’t it illegal to lie in an advertisement?

[beattycat]

Yeah, I’m with you. There’s no ‘misrepresents’ here – it’s a flat-out LIE. Headline should be: “Trump Campaign Video Lies about Clinton’s Tax Positions.”
