(13,877 posts)Crooked Hillary. It will stick because it is not pulled out of the ethers. From there on, it's downhill on the level of attack. The Benghazi hearings were respectful, measured, DC hype, vaudeville.
Trump will be bare-knuckled street fighting...Trump University and all. And her health is an issue...what will be required of her physically, as well as maybe more because of the emotionality of being callously attacked.
I see it as flawed to compare what's coming to the flailing attempts to "get the Clintons" over the past decades. There were unstated rules that politicians played but did not go over the line.
Trump represents the basest of the Republican Party's electorate. I think the depth off that constituency is not yet clearly understood.
