Trump Paralyzed Hillary's Campaign
2016-05-11
h/t Instapundit
...This boilerplate Democratic campaign strategy would be fine -- perhaps even compelling - if deployed against a vanilla Republican candidate. Trump is, however, no Republican cast in the same mold as George W. Bush, John McCain, or Mitt Romney. In fact, as Team Clinton was revealing its intention to attack Trump for his proposal to ease the tax burden on the rich, the news cycle was already dominated by Trump's decision to buck Republican orthodoxy on taxes in an interview with NBC's Chuck Todd.

...It's not merely the Clinton campaign's bullheaded determination to plunge forward with an uncreative campaign strategy that was designed and implemented well before Donald Trump became the presumptive GOP nominee. Clinton appears to have learned nothing from the pile of Republican bodies Trump left in the wake of his scorched earth primary campaign.

"She’s married to a man who was the worst abuser of women in the history of politics," Trump said of his friend, golf buddy, and the inspiration for his 2016 presidential bid, former President Bill Clinton. "She’s been the total enabler." The celebrity candidate added of the former first lady. "She would go after these women and destroy their lives. She was an unbelievably nasty, mean enabler, and what she did to a lot of those women is disgraceful."

#8  #6: Couldn't the next president issue an executive order to reduce/annul the previous president's retirement pay? Couldn't the next president also issue an executive order to remove the Secret Service protection from the previous president? I thought the precedent had already been set on these executive orders.

#6  Well Warthog, we don't actually see any of the Obama team rucking up and moving off to other jobs do we? Little to report on the Obama library either.

Your theory has been in my top 3-5 for quite some time. He did move to increase his own post-presidential retirement pay however. He's probably keeping all options open.

#5  Actually I don't think she'll be the candidate.

1-two weeks before convention she'll drop out for "health reasons"
2- The party will nominate Biden/Warren (aka Fauxcahontas")as the ticket to appease all the Bernie lovers
3- For her cooperation, she'll receive a full pardon for all (alleged) transgressions
4- Obama gets his 3rd term
5- Repubs spent all the time/$ on Hildebeast opposition research and now have to scramble to attack "Groper" Joe

#3  Bill Clinton was a very natural politician. Hillary is not, not even close. She looks fake doing just about anything and only rabid partisan loyalties have kept her bouyed this long. I think she'll be crushed in November.

#2  "She’s married to a man who was the worst abuser of women in the history of politics,"

In all fairness, it's been a while, I believe it still takes two dancers.

#1  Hillary was doing a pretty good job of paralyzing the campaign herself. Paralyzing things is what a Gorgons Head is for.
