This is a classic example of the "Big Lie". He is switching from personal attacks to personal political attacks. Combining his opponents vulnerabilities to deflect his own greater vulnerabilities. I hope I am wrong but I suspect this election will not be a walk in the park. Trump rolled out his stump speech. He is trying to criminalize Obama and Clinton. 2016 is a unique election.
