Trade and and not getting into stupid wars/ regime change come to mind. Also he will cite her ties to Wall Street whereas he is outside the political establishment.
How will Clinton respond to such attacks in a debate, should she win the nomination?

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I will give the poster benefit of the doubt for playing "devil's advocate" since there is not a pattern that I've been able to discern ... However, I would vote to lock if grammar were the issue. Poster, please. It is "to the left" not "too the left"....
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This isn't supporting Trump. It is about where candidates stand on the issues.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This isn't SUPPORT for Der Trumpenfuhrer, it's just pointing out some things that are actually completely true. Those HRH supporters have very itchy alert fingers, don't they?
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I see no support of Trump in the statement. Argue the facts don't alert
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I didn't see this poster say anything that supported Trump? I think the person who alerted on this needs to read the statement again.

(25,586 posts)I've assumed a sizable minority of Sanders supporters would go over to Trump once Sanders' primary campaign began sinking. This is Step One of the process.

(8,352 posts)Clinton sucks in polls with Trump. He will kick her ass. How do y'all respond when he runs to the left of her on some things and the right of her on others?
No answer or just snark and innuendo's I see.

(3,580 posts)Either way it's not going to matter if it's a lie or the truth because Trump will say it.
californiabernin
(421 posts)Yes, you are correct.
californiabernin
(421 posts)Don't think he won't.
There are way more lines of attack he can use against Clinton that just liberal, socialist, or commie.
Sanders and Trump are both outside the establishment, which is why in the GE they would both be strong candidates.
Hillary will be torn to shreds if she is the nominee. I'm listening to a Trump speech right now he gave in OK (first one I've listened to , by the way). He really pushes how he's such a great businessman he'll be so tough on trade and bring jobs back to U.S. He will win on the issue against Hillary. He will also tear her to shreds Iraq war and her tenure as SOS.
Listening to this speech he gave to me makes me terrified of Hillary being on the same stage of this guy. She's the establishment, the continuation of Obama? That won't fly in this election!!!!
Edit: It think he is spending about half the speech on trade. He is really pushing this..."get greatest businesspeople negotiating trade deals, we have the best businesspeople in the world....people are laughing at around the world....we spend so much money we spend defending Germany, South Korea....this doesn't sound very conservative, but its the most conservative thing you can do....you left the united states, you are going to pay a 35% tax on that air conditioner (talking about carrier moving to Mexico...now moving on to attack Ford Motor).....we don't have leadership that talks to Ford...cannot continue to be policeman of entire world and not be reimbursed...we you see 5% unemployment rate don't believe it....it's a phony number to make the politicians look better."
Oh, by the way, also said he would take waterboarding 1 or 2 steps higher (whatever that means)
Get rid of obamacare and common core, or course (standard fare)
protect 2nd amendment (biggest cheers of speech, shouting U.S.A., U.S.A., even trump surprised "boy you people really like your guns"
"Radicalized woman who came over...14 people dead...if there were guns on the other side of the room...."
O.K., I'm done. Now I've heard my one trump rally speech. Enough.
gwheezie
(3,580 posts)It won't matter what it is. I don't think Bernie or Hillary are going to be able to counter it without taking trump down hard and fast.
californiabernin
(421 posts)But ultimately, that is going to depend on the American people. He's getting his power from the people, and only the people can stop him.
Live and Learn
(12,769 posts)Hard to tell what he will actually do.
But, I know Hillary wouldn't hesitate to use our military and not in good ways. I also know she would not help the majority of people struggling. She may throw a bone or two to children but most of her policies would further damage those in the middle and lower classes.
one_voice
(20,043 posts)Why would she respond? What self respecting repuke would vote for him if they thought he was to the left of Hillary.
That would be a ridiculous attack. He'd lose by a landslide.
Hi, I'm Donald Trump the Republican candidate and I'm more left than Hillary. yeah, that'll send the pukes running to the polls.
She may be 'establishment, but he cannot deny his ties to the rich & corrupt.
CommonSenseDemocrat
(377 posts)Too simplistic to put Trunp in a left/right paradigm, but that being said, Trump is not progressive.
