Of course what Trump and his fellow conservatives fail to recognize is that is there were a lot of people originally convinced that the attacks in Benghazi were the result of that video "Innocence of Muslims." Which made perfect sense because it had inspired protests and attacks all over the Middle East.
This is not all Trump has in his bag of tricks. He is also planning on inviting the women who accused Bill Clinton of sleeping with them, sexually assaulting them, or raping them to campaign with him.
There is "ugly," and there is "Donald Trump ugly," and this is going to get all kinds of "Donald Trump ugly."

ReplyDeleteYou seem respected around these parts for your informed opinion and political acumen. There's a new reply to one of your comments on the Ed Rendell hosts the convention thread that you may not have seen. While there remember what you said earlier on that same thread:
Wow, when people become Sanders' supporters they seem to forget history and forego the real world.

Delete"He is also planning on inviting the women who accused Bill Clinton of sleeping with them, sexually assaulting them, or raping them to campaign with him."
ReplyDelete---------------------------
I just can't see this working well for Trump. Everyone already knows Bill was unfaithful. As for the sexual assault or rape accusations, those are either old, already hashed out stories, or if they are recent, the timing will be suspicious.
Even if they are true, the blame is on Bill, not Hillary.
If he pursues the accusations that Hillary was mean or vindictive against women her husband had affairs with, I think most people would consider that a regrettable but personally understandable reaction on her part.
Trying to portray her as complicit in covering up rapes and assaults with no evidence or proof I think will backfire.
At some point, Trump will have to address issues, not just keep saying "Hillary's a bitch, so elect me."
As a woman, I think my reaction would be if Trump thinks Bill Clinton raped or assaulted women, he and the women should be talking to the police and trying to prosecute Bill. Using his (alleged) crimes to attack his wife? That wouldn't sit well with me.
Then Hillary can campaign with Ivana and have Ivana tell how Donald raped her, cheated on her and his other wife.
DeleteI am sure most of these women will show up, as long as they are PAID. Many of them rode their 15 minutes to the hilt. I doubt that Bill had to rape any of them, willing participants all of them. Maybe tRump is trying to project HIS own history with females onto Bill? I wonder how much Malaria cost him?
DeleteThe rightwing has thrown countless dollars at women to get them coached and "purtied up" to make good wailing "victims" of Bill Clinton. Fact is that all that time, effort, and money spent has led to nothing. Because there's no story. Interesting that every rightwinger that's gone after Bill Clinton has been convicted of sex crimes against children (Hastert) and women (Gingrich).
DeleteWhat the right wing missed before, and they (evidently) will miss again is that this works to humanize Hillary; many other women in the world held their families together after marital cheating, and sometimes their children know it. It did not work before and it won't work now.

I'm one that maintained my marriage when there were two affairs!
DeleteEach married couple handles things - in their own way - to include Bill and Hillary Clinton.
I say 'good for them'!!!
Bottom line is that most men will screw around on their wives - especially mid age. It's a fact and can be forgiven and handled. Just look around you - most men do it and there are many women in the same category as well!
I don't believe that Bill Clinton EVER had to rape anyone!
DeleteBack in the day he was physically attractive, had/has a great personality, is talented and charming and had a healthy enough marriage w/Hillary to work through their problems and maintain their marriage all these years.
Most men cheat that are married! Get over it America!
Plus, it's been proven that many, many past POTUSs have cheated or carried on an affair with a specific woman for years during their presidency!
LOL he's definitely taking advice from Sara Palin.

DeleteHe doesn't take it from anyone - not even the advisors he recently put on his 'team' and I use that term very loosely!
He knows Sarah to be an idiot!
I am so disheartened by the sheer magnitude of the misogyny in this country. It's as bad, if not worse, as the ugly, ugly racism that surfaced with Obama. I can't even imagine this kind of ugly in Canada.
ReplyDeletetRump is the personification of "ugly American"
DeleteThe US leads the world in the most hateful vicious racism. I remember the 50's and early 60's the height of the civil rights movements, it was vicious.
DeleteDogs being sicced on men, women, and even little children. Civil rights marchers being assaulted with fire hoses. This nation has not changed, it was just sort of dormant until we elected a Black president.
Exceptionalism=UGLY
DeleteAnd, Donald Trump is "The Ugly American" currently so openly showing himself!
DeleteI'm sure there are many, many others - hiding within the Republican Party on both the national and state levels!
5:49 that's why I voted for Hillary in 2008. I didn't hold any illusions about America being "post-racist". I hoped I might have been wrong when Obama got the nom but immediately after he was elected I knew otherwise. Remember when the Bushes unapologetically prevented the Obamas from staying at the traditional DC digs before the inauguration? It didn't take long.

DeleteMove your commentary concerning any of the Palins to the section of the blog that is actually addressing them. We are currently talking about Donald Trump!
DeleteOT means "off topic" for a reason. Get used to it or start your own blog.
DeleteI didn't realize that Bill Clinton was on the ballot. I just don't think Donald wants to go there. Certainly, someone is going to be whispering to the press of all Donald's dalliances through the years. Didn't he tell Howard Stern that having sex was his Vietnam?
ReplyDeleteYes, this could get very nasty very early.
Battling STD's was his 'Nam. tRump should shut up about ANY other man, after his comments on both his daughters. Unlike him. Bill did not have to BUY affection from women, they chased him. Maybe that is the burr under tRump's saddle.
DeleteI guess that in The Donald's case, he should be livid at Ivana for enabling him to cheat with Marla, and then Marla for enabling him to cheat with Melania.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I guess when you've got a YUUUGE winner penis, then what else could you expect from such an uncontrollably manly man?
Pretty sure he cheats in Melania, too. Cheaters don't change.
DeleteI seriously doubt he's getting it up anymore. He's overweight, appears as though a heart attack or stroke is in his future and doesn't handle stress well!
DeleteWouldn't be surprised to hear that he has high blood pressure and more than likely high cholesterol - which lend toward taking medication that effects erections!
He's been all talk and full of bullshit his entire life! The media needs to go after him as there is a lot of CRUD in his background! He is one nasty boy!
This is NOT Bill's campaign, it's Hillary's. Also this BS has been hashed and rehashed to exhaustion. It will surely backfire.
ReplyDeleteALSO the Dems needs to expose Trumps cheating on wives, and the fact that he got Marla Maples pregnant while he was married to Ivanna.
Bill is not running for president so his pass cheating is not an issue in this race.
On the other hand Trump IS running for president, so his cheating IS an issue in this race.

The toxic political legacy of ‘The Apprentice’
ReplyDelete...The Apprentice has become a training cell for politically toxic ideas.
Let’s start with the head of the snake. The Apprentice was created by NBC and Mark Burnett Productions in 2004 as a vehicle for Donald Trump . At that stage in his life, Trump was a circus clown on the slide, whose businesses had gone bankrupt four times . He was a product of a bygone age ; an age of hairspray and Filofaxes and breezeblock-sized mobile phones. The man was a relic, lost at sea in a world he could no longer hope to understand. Just look at all his failed ventures from that decade . Trump Steaks. Trump Vodka. Trump Magazine. Trump: The Game. GoTrump.com. Each and every one of them the dismal, drain-circling spasm of a man desperately trying to stay relevant.
But The Apprentice papered over these cracks. It allowed him to appear on TV and wear a suit and jab his finger a lot. The Apprentice turned Donald Trump into a towering figurehead of authority. Even though he was appearing on a reality show – the sort of idiotic, ground-level piecemeal gig that no billionaire in their right mind would ever touch with a bargepole – people started investing in the Trump myth. And now he is the presumptive Republican candidate in a real-life general election. Without The Apprentice, failed boardgame salesman . With The Apprentice, the almost-leader of the free world.

Well, Katrina Pierson, who is on Trump's team but is an unpaid spokesperson for him on CNN, was unofficially outed as having an affair with Ted Cruz, by the National Enquirer this year (her picture was there, face obscured).

DeleteCould I make a request that we all just stop going along with this "THE Donald" bullshit?

ReplyDelete...The 2006 movie Idiocracy depicts a future in which Americans have grown progressively dumber, and eventually elect as president of the United States a professional wrestler, who caters demagogically to their nationalistic impulses and ignorance of science. Only because the film took place in an imaginary world was it possible to straightforwardly equate a political choice with a lack of intelligence. In the actual world, the bounds of taste and deference to (small-d) democratic outcomes make it gauche to do so. But the dynamic imagined in Idiocracy has obviously transpired, down to the election of a figure from pro wrestling:

Independents just delivered another state for Bernie Sanders
ReplyDelete...So on Tuesday, thanks to people who don't consider themselves Democrats, Bernie Sanders racked up another win and another argument for staying in the race. His impressive run is all the more impressive when you consider that he, too, was an independent that voted with the Democrats only a year ago. A guy who's been in the party for about 12 months has won more Democratic delegates than anyone not named Clinton, Gore, Obama or Kerry in the past 25 years. And he can thank other Democrat-voting independents for that distinction.

As forces in both major parties have begun to mobilize against a Trump presidency, a new national poll out Tuesday reveals the most surefire way to derail the GOP frontrunner: Nominate Bernie Sanders.
DeleteThe NBC News/SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll found that if the 2016 presidential election were held today, 53 to 40 percent of voters would elect Sanders over Donald Trump—which is more than double the margin that Hillary Clinton holds over the presumptive Republican nominee.
According to the survey, which was conducted online from May 2 through May 8, the former secretary of state also leads Trump, but with a far smaller margin: 49 to 44 percent, with an error estimate of plus or minus 1.3 percentage points.

NOBODY wants their taxes to go up and they won't take the chance with Bernie's numbers that have been panned by many economists. Several have said it would end up costing 3X as much to do what Sanders wants.

They are meaningless at this time.
