107. everyone outside the Clinton bubble sees her as a crook

Mon May 2, 2016, 01:22 PM

May 2016

The evidence of malfeasance and profiteering from political influence, from cattle futures to the Clinton Foundation and everything in between, is overwhelming.

She's going to get absolutely destroyed against an opponent who plays hardball, which Trump demonstrated he is with the way he took out the other GOP candidates like bowling pins. Look at the way he destroyed Jeb Bush, who prior to said destruction was still considered a top tier candidate. And then he did the same to Rubio, and to Cruz, beating each at their own game.

Trump may well be the most formidable GOP nominee since Reagan. The man has never run for office before and managed to emerge as a clear winner in a crowded field of 17 candidates.

To send such a badly flawed, already damaged-and-limping candidate such as Clinton against someone like Trump is tanamount to surrender.
