Digging in the imaginary dirt: Trumps speech devised to destroy Hillary today is based on a book of liesTrump's desperately trying to reboot his campaign with smear speech against Hillary drawn from discredited book
HEATHER DIGBY PARTON
I dont know exactly what Trump is going to say in his highly anticipated Hillary speech today, but we do have some hints. Recall that he announced his intention to deliver this speech on the night of the California primary largely in reaction to Clintons scathing recitation of his inane rhetoric in San Diego a few days before. He had scheduled it for the Monday after the Orlando Massacre and postponed it for obvious reasons. We can predict from what he said that night as well as subsequent tweets this week that he will say shes a criminal who used her position as Secretary of State as a hedge fund to steal money from ordinary Americans and sell out the security of the United States. Hell say shes being protected from prosecution and a lengthy jail term by an equally corrupt president. And hell complain about her judgment and her strength and her stamina.
Its possible that the reboot everyones breathlessly talking about in the wake of the firing of his inept campaign manager has resulted in his focusing his grotesque overwrought allegations only on her official record. But whether or not he goes further than that and launches into the personal attacks he telegraphed on twitter that night is unknown. This was his immediate reaction to her win:
