Can Clinton overcome her being defined in a negative manner by the GOP?

[UCmeNdc]

Hillary Clinton's reputation is being destroyed by the GOP. Can she rebuild her reputation?

Donald Trump knows how to play the game. His out and out lie that Hillary Clinton will take away their guns has already mobilized the uninformed that Hillary does not deserve the office of the Presidency of the United States. Benghazi Is another attack point. All of these kinds of attacks are destroying Hillary Clinton's reputation and leads to the perception that she is dishonest. How can she change this perception?

1. Not in the slightest.

All of these kinds of attacks are destroying Hillary Clinton's reputation and leads to the perception that she is dishonest.

What reputation is there to destroy?

Just looping "Bosnian sniper fire" 24/7 would do the trick.

Poor, poor Hillary Clinton.

11. Trump's campaign is calling you. They want you to phonebank for them. Time to sign up!

You might as well go work for Trump's campaign now and not waste anymore time. Have fun playing with Donald Duck and his folks.

19. You could use some new material.

That ineffectual, transparent dreck got stale the very moment it was first floated.

I suppose in a weird way, you and many others might envy Trump's ability to call himself his party's "presumptive nominee"--like eight-year-olds regarding the bratty neighbor kid's shiny new bike.

2. Not by those who seek change,

which is why Dems must run a change candidate.

3. LOL...

Hillary has been defined in a negative manner for 3 decades by the GOP. Not only is she still standing, she is thriving!

6. THRIVING?

1. The only way she made it to the Senate was by having her only serious primary challenger step aside and then run a shill against her to make her look tougher.

2. She ran against and beat a nobody in Lazio.

3. She lost her 2008 primary race to Obama.

4. She is barely beating a self-proclaimed democratic-socialist.

If that's thriving, I'd hate to see her struggle.

[BooScout]

7. Two words....

Madam President!

[Exilednight]

9. I wouldn't put that cart in front of the horse. this has been one

Strange election cycle, and Clinton has blown bigger leads in less time.

[RBInMaine]

10. So have you signed up to work for the Trump campaign yet? If not, what are waiting for?

Your argument here is too silly to bother responding too. Oh, did you hear that? Your phone is ringing. It's the Donald Duck Trump campaign wondering why you aren't canvassing for them today.

[Exilednight]

12. yeah, I know it's a silly argument for you. it's filled with too many facts to refute.

[Demsrule86]

4. Yes

This has been going on for more than 20 years...of course, we never had a Democrat willing to do that before like Bernie Sanders...going after the Democratic nominee as he has done...I suppose he will spend all his free TV time bashing her today as always.

5. If you can't win on your message and your merits, then you try to tear down your opponent.

If he wants to stay in the race and hope for a miracle, so be it. I do wish he would tone down the attacks and start unifying the party. His slash and Bern policy is only helping Republicans.

14. With such an extremely vetted candidate as Hillary supposedly is

what new line of attack has Sanders brought forward that the GOP didn't have? How is anything sanders has said any different than the three a.m. phone call Hillary campaign asked about Obama? Is her record so great that it can't be stated. Think the republicans won't be stating her record? Can she even win Arkansas against Trump? Bill and Hill couldn't deliver it to Gore in 2000. Should we just whistle past the graveyard?

[Arkansas Granny]

15. Have you considered what Republicans would say about Bernie if he got the nomination?

You are correct that Hillary has been extremely vetted. Bernie, however, has not. It would be a bloodbath.

[timmymoff]

16. I see, more so than the various wars that she has under her belt?

More so than what Trump will say he got for his donations? How about Trump being able to run left of Hillary on various economic issues? I'd say Americans have had a long time to examine her record and most do not approve. Most dems may, the conservative ones, but the rest of America just isn't that into her. As seen by the open primary states.

[Demsrule86]

18. I will be happy when he is gone

he seems bitter and angry. I don't know if he will help unify...I hope he will. Also, his supporters will not accept he has lost until he concedes and endorses.

[RBInMaine]

8. And Donald Duck Trump will be DEFINED by Hillary and the Dems. What's your point?

She has already been "defined" by the GOP for 25 years. She knows how to hit back HARD and will take Donald Duck to the cleaners.

Bernie would be "defined" as a radical communist and torn to SHREDS. Get real.

[MineralMan]

13. What Democratic Presidential Candidate Has NOT Faced This?

Republicans always trash the Democratic candidate. It is to be expected. Have you not followed previous presidential races? Do you suppose they'd give Bernie a pass?

Hillary can and will deal with that garbage.

[timmymoff]

17. Hillary will begin saying "me too"

like Gore did. That panned out well.
