24. This is what prominent Democrats should be shouting...WHO CARES IF ITS EVEN PLAUSABLE?

We have to fight in the pits. You just know if it were Hillary in office, and she had dragged her foot the same way, (although she wouldn't) leading to countless needless deaths, the GOP would be calling it a "war crime" every day.

Even before Trump rose to prominence in the political field, the GOP were masters at promoting the most outlandish accusations, Clintons as murderers for one.

I know we don't want to stoop low like that. But we tried going high. Its not going to work on this President. Democrats are still living in the 80's it seems like sometimes. When we are in a winning place, when we have consolidated power, then we can start thinking about going high. Right now we should be willing to go even lower than they are. Who cares if there is no actual way to prosecute him this way. There is no cost to saying it. Pushing it. Making them have to react to it. Because, as they already have figured out, in todays world of competing news networks, whenever Ds or Rs are compelled to react back, it means it stays in the news, and more people start to think it might be true. ie...Clintons are murderers.
