Related: About this forumThree lines of attack Trump will use against Clinton (you might not have considered all of these)
"I'm not bought. I don't take money from anybody, she's taken millions from all sorts of special interest groups. Nobody pays me to say or do anything. We're going to make American great again!"
"We are going to be so tough on trade. So tough. I am the toughest on trade. She hasn't been tough. We're going to make America great again, so great!
"G.W. Bush, Hillary Clinton, they all got us into the stupidest war. Stupid. And we are still seeing the results of that now. It's just gotten worse and worse with Obama and she was his SOS. It's sad, so sad. She is the worst on foreign policy ever. I will be the best and not do stupid things. And you know what, I'll keep America safe too and make us great again.

What's really awful though, is that he has attacked Bill Clinton (calling him one of the world's worst perverts, i believe), and Bill's popularity dropped. If Trump was attacked for the same thing, with far more justification considering the icky comment he made about his daughter, it would roll right off.

(17,196 posts)did not bother me. It was a lame compliment. Bill's escapades do bother me.

(2,872 posts)Didn't this also coincide with Bill calling Bernie supporters leftist tea-partiers?
Cause that's what smothered the baby in the cradle for me.

(3,569 posts)he will not possibly be able to compete on a BILLION dollar campaign. Especially one he knows he will lose. He ain't stupid, he will hedge his bets and take all the PAC money he can. Casinos etc, all intertwined with Trump money. He will have to.
Okay, so what does he mean tough on trade? I'd like to be tougher on trade. I am sick of bridges in CA being built in China.(See Bay Bridge)
And the third well...
BTW< Go look at this assclown's website. it is funny as fuck. websites for dummies. the bumper sticker of Presidential websites!

(421 posts)So don't be so sure he wouldn't continue funding his own campaign. And really he doesn't have to fund it as much as you might think. The media gives him all the spotlight he really needs for free, and everybody already knows who he is.
And on the trade thing...you see the appeal.
Do you see the appeal of his "stupid war" argument as well?
Seeing the danger here?

(421 posts)Just saying.
He has one line of attack against Sanders, the socialist one. He will use the same anti-liberal arguments, anti-progressive arguments against either Clinton or Sanders. Running against Clinton gives him more lines of attack, however. I didn't even mention the damn emails....

(10,861 posts)"I deplore the death and destruction she caused stupidity (Real quote)
He'll beat "untrustworthy" "liar" "not honest" type phrases to death.
They were all using some of them in the earlier debates.
He'll have something to say (hypocritically) about her flip-flops.
californiabernin
(421 posts)He'll link every blow-up in the Middle East back to the Iraq war that started it all and more recent Obama/Clinton policies.
"All these people she wants to let into America, we don't know who the dangerous ones are. She is responsible for this refugee crises. No really, really, it's true. This is the result of that foreign policy. Now she wants to endanger America even more by letting in terrorists. Well, it ain't gonna happen! I'm going to keep America safe!" (not an actual quote, but something like that is likely)

(2,774 posts)will involve rehashing every controversy surrounding the Clintons going back to the Kenneth Starr investigations. It will be more like "Hillary claims she is going to be tough on trade, but the Clintons never seem to know what the definition of 'is' is."
