Hillary's Epic Smackdown of Trump Has "Fundamentally Altered People’s Outlook On The Race,”

Gabriel Debenedetti ‏@gdebenedetti 15h15 hours ago
This happened four times yesterday, twice now today.



Ruby Cramer ‏@rubycramer 1h1 hour ago
"It has fundamentally altered people’s outlook on the race,” @brianefallon says.




from Buzzfeed:

At nearly every stop since, voters have given Clinton massive applause at the mere mention of the speech — giving some renewed clarity to the campaign.

In the days since San Diego, aides and supporters have said they see the speech “breaking through the noise,” as one put it —

Brian Fallon, Clinton’s national press secretary, described the speech as a watershed moment for the campaign.

“Sometimes in the face of a bully, even well-meaning people can find themselves cowed, if not outright joining ranks with the bully. Then someone comes along who is willing to stand up to the bully, and it is a restorative moment,” Fallon said. “She did that Thursday, and it has fundamentally altered people’s outlook on the race.”

also gratifying to HRC camp: Clips of the speech have been viewed nearly 4 million times on Clinton's Facebook page

...you're pushing a false and self-serving narrative.

Try listening to the people who support Hillary.

Hillary Clinton is going to beat him as if with a lead pipe. Mr. Trump will be reduced to the simpering little pissant that he is. She is tougher and stronger as well as more intelligent than he and he hasn't ever faced an opponent like her. It could be real fun!

Thanks for the post and links, bigtree.

Not to mention that when president Obama hit the campaign trail he will also obliterate Trump. This short fingered vulgarian will regret ever having run for president. Hopefully in the aftermath, his business empire will crumble. Its already starting. The PGA could not find any sponsor willing to be associated with Trump for that event traditionally held in our of Trump's golf course in Florida.

while Bernie uses democratic ones, that's why Hillary rehashed the Romney speech against Trump, because she's not left wing enough to attack him from the left.

instead of Trump for his idiocy.

Bernie makes me wish this comment system had a "slow sarcastic clap" icon.

The next day she went back to screeching like Sarah Palin (no, not contentwise). He's a bafoon. Easy target. All of us can belittle him. And though there were times she was obviously reading, her tone was where it needs to be. That's the biggest take away. She doesn't get it.

Is mired in making the same speech over and over. His foreign policy? Break up the big banks! Sadly he is out of his depth on anything else. He couldn't even articulate how he would do that. He has made a remarkable run but it will be over soon. Dump Trump!

The last thing this country needs is a narcissistic con man for president. I hope that she continues to nail him like she did on Thursday for the next five months.
