Once Trump hammers Clinton on her record, it will significantly weaken her biggest argument


for why you should vote for her.

Halperin said Trump was referring to her as Ms. Incompetent. And others have said he isn't just going after her on one front (which has been obvious for some time).

If Trump is successful, and I think it is very likely that he will be, what will be her major argument for voting for her?

Of course Bernie will be blamed for not going after he hard enough because in refusing to accept blame the Democratic Establishment has no shame.

something Hillary is unable to do. She has trustworthy issues. Really simple, she is going to be beat on her record. So instead of continual whining, get out and sell this candidate Clinton, whining on this board won't garner her any votes. Better get to crackin' selling road kill as filet mignon won't cut it.

large baggage it will overshadow the problems with Trump.

Bernie is a Democratic Socialist surrounded by Democrats and Republicans. I am sure that will terrorize people

If you doubt that impressive people find Hillary impressive, close-up, based on their work with her, watch this lovefest:



I watched this because I needed to see for myself. I am not a major fan because my experience with her is as a campaigner and a Senator who voted for IWR, so I need reassurance. I found this very reassuring because I have a lot of respect for our foreign service.

people who have not a clue of just how incompetent they are. A lot of false mutual reinforcement goes on. I think that is part of what happened on Wall Street.

You might need to recognize that you're a lost cause on all things Hillary.

...which most of her supporters are conveniently trying to brush under the rug. Every time it comes up you just get labelled an unrealistic, sexist, racist, socialist. That isn't going to work as a counter-strategy in the GE.

spoke volumes (they know this is a huge problem).

Can you imagine the corporate tools trying to refute the attacks on her ability?

Both of them flip flop, and neither have core values.
