Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumNow, here's how we take down FrankenTrump:
Note in Hillary's AWESOME victory speech last night that she is shifting to going after FrankenTrump, the MONSTER that the GOP has created with YEARS of INSANITY fed to their base from the college dropout and drug addict Rush Limbaugh, to the Fake Noise Network, to the Crazy TeaPublican Movement, because they are about to actually nominate this looney tune.
Here are the lines of attack and ways in which we must FRAME FrankenTrump starting NOW. (Because after Tuesday, our primary race is essentially OVER. Hillary will CRUSH IT on Tuesday, thus eliminating Sanders' path to the nomination.)
1) Trump is fundamentally UNQUALIFIED to be president at a time in history when we need a qualified person. (Especially on foreign policy and with the military, Trumps has ZERO experience. HAMMER him on this.)
2) Trump is AN UN-PRESIDENTIAL WEAK COWARD and will WEAKEN the nation at home and abroad. (This is an AWESOME line of attack because what you do when you attack a politician is go right after his promoted "strengths" and it makes right wingers' heads explode. Trump is trying to style himself as the "strong America-loving guy" who will "make America great again." So what we do is call him a WEAK COWARDLY CARNIVAL BARKER who has no actual plans, no competence, no capability, and that by alienating huge groups of Americans he WEAKENS us a nation.)
3) Trump is UNPATRIOTIC. (Now this one that really makes right wingers' heads explode. What we say is that a racist who alienates huge swaths of the AMERICAN FAMILY runs counter to our CHERISHED VALUES and WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT. Notice that Hillary is already subtly doing this when she talks about bringing the country together and "Rising Together." This is hit at Trump who they are already framing as a "divider."
4) Trump is part of the CORPORATE ESTABLISHMENT. (This one, again, will really make his peoples' heads explode. Trump keeps talking about being "anti-establishment." BULLSHIT! He has spent his LIFE as part of the CORPORATE ESTABLISHMENT and he is a champion of TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS wanting to give more tax cuts to RICH SILVER SPOON BABIES like himself.)
5) Trump is a FRAUD who doesn't really understand common people. (He was born into huge wealth, and if not for that wealth he wouldn't be the public figure he is today.)
Let me know if you have other lines of attack and FRAMING of Trump, but these must be done, done MERCILESSLY, and HILLARY is just the one to take this asshole to the political woodshed. Yes, they are going to come after her BIGTIME too, but make no mistake, she is POLITICAL STREET FIGHTER, and that is exactly what we need. She won't even think about putting up with Trump's BULLSHIT. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER AND HER TEAM TEAR INTO FRANKENTRUMP WITH A VENGEANCE!

(40,209 posts)There are many republicans who will not vote for him and will support Hillary, no matter how much they don't like her, just to stop him from becoming president. There are a lot of Christie Todd Whitmans out there. A lot more will stay home. The ones who stay home not only won't be voting for him but also not voting down ticket, hurting republicans running for reelection to the House and Senate. Trump is going to be a FABULOUS DISASTER. IT'S GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL!

(8,616 posts)The Hillary we've seen on the debate stage so far is the Hillary who has debated a thoughtful, well-respected, principled and highly logical opponent. I have a feeling the Hillary who will debate Trump will be more similar to the one we saw at the Benghazi hearings. She can be pretty aggressive and tough.

(1,353 posts)Gives the Clinton a window into what needs to be done. She won't stoop to Rubio's level but it's clear to see easily how Trump becomes more unhinged when attacked... If anything, Rubio is causing Trump to be more clownish and unacceptable to what I think a majority of Dem/GOP's would want. She can then come in for the knockout with measured clarity and down goes Trump and he should be thinking how he may never recover, image wise...this could have business consequences for him.

(13,570 posts)She is a political KNIFE-FIGHTER, and that is where you have to go with Trumpenstein, straight for his political jugular. Tear his political guts out and make him look like the unqualified buffoon that he is. No gloves and just power punches. You don't deal with Trumpenstein and the right wingers by
"fighting back." You fight FORWARD. You get on OFFENSE and STAY THERE!
