Dear Mrs. Clinton...

You no longer have to talk about Trumps bigotry. Everyone knows he and those he associate with are. No one is clueless that he is a bigot. Just stick to the issues, jobs, health,education,infrastructure,national security, foreign affairs, etc. Trump will just go on and on about nothing.You got this.We are about 2 months away from election day, no one at this point will change their vote now. Most people have already made up their minds who they will vote for.

Trump Camp Hires Ex-Christie Aide Caught Up In Bridgegate.....lol

You cannot make this stuff up.

Donald Trump has hired a former top aide to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) who'd been caught up in the so-called Bridgegate scandal to serve as his campaign’s national field director, according to multiple reports.GOP operative Bill Stepien is expected to help Trump coordinate voter turnout in the run-up to the Nov. 8 election, NBC News reported.Stepien twice served as campaign manager for the New Jersey governor, who is currently advising Trump's campaign. He also served as deputy chief of staff for intergovernmental affairs during Christie’s first term.

Though Christie is serving as the chief of Trump’s transition team, the New York Times reported that the governor was not involved in the hiring decision and is no longer close with Stepien. According to the Times, Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, was behind the push to bring Stepien onboard.The Republican operative fell from grace in January 2014, when Christie asked him to withdraw his name for consideration for chairman of the New Jersey GOP amid the fallout from what prosecutors now say was a politically-motivated plot to close lanes on the George Washington Bridge. In September 2013, a senior Christie aide had allegedly coordinated with senior Christie appointees at the Port Authority to orchestrate a massive traffic jam near Fort Lee, New Jersey in order to punish the town’s Democratic mayor for not endorsing Christie’s re-election bid.

Emails providing evidence of the scheme were made public during investigations into the incident. Christie said in the January news conference that he had “lost confidence in Bill's judgement” because those emails showed Stepien referring to Fort Lee’s mayor as “an idiot.”Stepien’s consulting contract with the Republican Governors Association, which Christie ran at the time, was also terminated.Stepien was never charged with any wrongdoing in the lane closure scheme.This month, transcripts of a text message exchange between two Christie staffers were made public in which one former staffer alleged the New Jersey governor “flat out lied about senior staff and Stepien not being involved.” Christie disputed that claim.

ISIS extremists rooting for Trump to win presidential election

ISIS jihadists are hoping and praying for a powerful new recruiting tool this November: a Donald Trump presidency.

Even though the GOP presidential candidate has promised to “knock the hell out of” ISIS extremists, the terror group is rooting for him to win the upcoming general election — because they believe it will boost their ranks and their sick cause.An analysis of ISIS social media channels and interviews with 12 terrorists — some who have since defected — shows extremists strongly back Trump over Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, according to Foreign Affairs magazine.

Trump’s over-the-top rhetoric makes him “the perfect enemy,” a former ISIS fighter told the magazine.“I ask Allah to deliver America to Trump,” an ISIS spokesman wrote last week on an ISIS-affiliated outlet, the magazine said.Another extremist posted on various ISIS social media channels that, “The ‘facilitation’ of Trump’s arrival in the White House must be a priority for jihadists at any costs!” the magazine said.The jihadists interviewed by Foreign Affairs cited several reasons for their support of Trump — but mainly, they felt the Republican’s anti-Muslim rhetoric would be great for recruitment.ISIS organizers also felt Trump’s extreme views would help radicalize more Muslims in the U.S. and Europe and inspire them to commit “lone-wolf attacks,” the magazine reported.

Several former ISIS fighters said Muslims in the Middle East already believe the West is against them — but the beauty of Trump is that he is an “incubator” for homegrown terrorists.The general perception of him is that he must be “insane or crazy,” the magazine said.“He must be smoking bad hashish to say such crazy things,” one ex-fighter said.Jihadists also like what they see when it comes to Trump’s loose-lipped and shoot-from-the-hip decision-making.He’s viewed by ISIS members as “an unstable and irrational leader whose impulsive decision-making” will hurt the U.S., Foreign Affairs found.Jihadists are also thrilled at his flame-throwing style of handling international relations, with one ex-fighter saying Trump “talks like a crazy person-not just about Muslims but about U.S. allies like Saudi Arabia.”

An ISIS spokesman recently declared on one of its online portals that a Trump presidency would be a boon for terrorists because it will “cause trouble with Arab despots . . . especially in the Gulf. Trump's reign in America will unsettle (Gulf) rulers and make them vulnerable. The religious clerics of these rulers will not be able to defend them, and large numbers of people will join jihad,” the magazine reported.There’s also a belief that Trump will cause unrest with China and “maybe start a third world war.”As for Clinton, she doesn’t appear in ISIS propaganda and recruitment videos, said ex-fighter Adel, because “she never says anything bad about Muslims.”He noted that it was much harder to use Clinton as a recruitment tool because she always said “Islam is not our adversary” and “Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people.”

Why is Donald Trump making Hilary Clinton responsible

for issues in the African-American and Latino communities?

He keeps saying this over and over again, " she hasn't done anything for these groups."

Question....'what was she supposed to do as Secretary of State for African Americans and Latinos?

But he has not proved how she is a bigot. Look at her record with African Americans in the south Mr. Trump.

What have YOU done for these groups Mr. Trump?....nothing at all

Trump Adviser Clarifies: Clinton Should Be Executed, Not Assassinated

ByLAUREN FOXPublishedAUGUST 16, 2016, 5:53 PM EDT

Trump adviser Al Baldasaro clarified for the record Tuesday that he doesn't think Hillary Clinton should be assassinated, but rather thinks she should be shot by firing squad for "treason."

Baldasaro, who co-chairs Trump's veteran coalition, told MassLive.com Tuesday that he believes the media misinterpreted his comments.

"The liberal media took what I said and went against the law and the Constitution and ran with it, and they said that I wanted her assassinated, which I never did," Baldasaro told The Republican/MassLive.com. "I said I spoke as a veteran, and she should be shot in a firing squad for treason."

This is not the first, nor even the second time Baldasaro has made comments about how he believes Clinton should be killed.

He first broached the subject of Clinton's death by firing squad in July. The Secret Service investigated the matter, and even Trump distanced himself from the comment, with his spokesman Hope Hicks telling WMUR in New Hampshire that Trump did not agree with the sentiment. Baldasaro is still affiliated with the campaign, however, and Trump himself suggested at a recent rally that his Second Amendment supporters could do something to stop Clinton from being elected. When asked if Trump had spoken directly with him about the comment. Baldasaro said Trump had, but that "he might not agree on the way I said it, but I said it as a veteran."

"What you in the liberal media consider rhetoric, I consider freedom of speech," Baldasaro told MassLive.

Trumps Twitter responses to Hilary's speech

Hillary Clinton is using race-baiting to try to get African-American voters- but they know she is all talk and NO ACTION!
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/768912241349517312

Hillary Clinton's short speech is pandering to the worst instincts in our society. She should be ashamed of herself!
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/768904362211086336

Just watched recap of #CrookedHillary's speech. Very short and lies. She is the only one fear-mongering!
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/768903697166368769


Is that the best he can do? Um...yep.


Hey Donnie, if Hilary is a racist, show proof.Oh, you don't have any? Smh
