"SNIP................


Democrat Hillary Clinton will target Donald Trump’s business record on Tuesday, casting the presumptive Republican nominee as self-interested and shady in an effort to undercut one of the central arguments of his campaign.

The former senator secretary of state plans to deliver a pointed critique of her Republican rival’s economic policies and his work in the private sector, broadening her argument that Trump is temperamentally unfit for the White House, Clinton campaign advisers said.

Tuesday’s address in Columbus, Ohio, will build on Clinton’s recent foreign-policy speech in which she used a compilation of Trump’s own words to suggest that he is uninformed and even dangerous.

“It really comes down to being able to show that every time Trump had an opportunity to get something for himself at the expense of someone else, he took it, in spades,” said Jake Sullivan, the Clinton campaign’s policy chief.

1. If a speech ever wrote itself, this one is it (nt)

[scscholar]

6. He's lost 38 lawsuits in 15,000 business years

(30*500). That's 0.25% per year failure rate. He is a crook. You're correct that this story writes itself.

2. It's a good line of attack but I sure hope this isn't her entire strategy.

3. I'm glad to see someone finally bringing up that topic.

Some wait for everyone else, while other vanguards are out there first!

10. I just scared the dog I laughed so loud

[applegrove]

7. Shouldn't be too difficult, lol. nt

8. The West is 50% public lands and shady guy is a realtor. Yes, I'd worried if he wasn't the loser.

Especially when one of his people joined the #BundyTeaParty in Oregon. In fact, after the Bundy Ranch criminality, Trump picked a guy from the Bundy Ranch standoff as part of his campaign. One of his campaign chairs was hanging out with a gang of criminals intent on stealing public lands.

9. Good!

11. Hopefully, this will be an effective strategy.

A neighbor of mine, really nice guy, Republican is voting for Trump. Two reasons:

1) "We need someone to solve our immigration problem." I told him we don't have one, and he listened.

2) "We need a good businessman to run our country."

Sigh. Tried to talk about this one, but he wasn't listening.
