[Breitbart] St. LOUIS, Missouri -- Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile said Juanita Broaddrick has a right to be heard.
"Juanita Broaddrick is a citizen and any citizen has a right in the country under the First Amendment to say and do whatever, but doesn't Hillary Clinton deserve an opportunity as a candidate for office to talk about the issues that impact all Americans?" Brazile responded when asked if Broaddrick has a right to be believed in the media spin room after Sunday night';s second presidential debate in St. Louis, Missouri.
Broaddrick, who has alleged that President Bill Clinton sexually assaulted her in 1978 and Hillary Clinton intimidated her, has spoken out in support of Donald Trump and sat in the audience during Sunday night's debate.
"Bill Clinton was sitting there thinking, am I the next Bill Cosby?"

The referee should have stopped it in the tenth. Punching at will, Donald Trump said, "Hillary used the power of her office to make $250 million. Why not put some money in? You made a lot of it while you were secretary of State? Why aren't you putting money into your own campaign? Just curious." Reeling and against the ropes, Clinton gasped that she supported ... the Second Amendment. It was a brilliant rhetorical device: under the rubric of campaign financing, Trump slipped in an allegation that Clinton corruptly enriched herself by using the power of her office for personal gain--and Clinton didn't even respond. That's a win by a knockout.
That's the decisive issue of the campaign: the corrupt machinations of a ruling elite that considers itself above the law, and the rage of the American people against the oligarchical ruling class that has pulled the ladder up behind it. Trump's bombshell below Clinton's waterline came at the end of the debate, well prepared by jabs at Clinton's erased emails and Bill's rapes. Trump used the "J" word--that is, jail. That was perhaps the evening's most important moment. This is not an election fought over competing policies but a struggle for legitimacy. A very large portion of the electorate (how large a portion we will discover next month) believes that its government is no longer legitimate, and that it has become the instrument of an entrenched rent-seeking oligarchy.
...The Republican voters chose a reckless, independently wealthy, vulgar, rough-edged outsider precisely because they believe that the system is corrupt. They are right to so believe; if the voters knew a tenth of what I know about it, they would march on Washington with pitchforks.
The whole weekend news cycle centered around Trump's potty-mouth tape, which will count for exactly nothing in the final tally. No-one who has followed Donald Trump in public media for the past thirty years expected anything less from the great vulgarian. We are stuck with Trump precisely because the Republican establishment imploded over Iraq and the economy.
I assumed that Trump's diffidence during the first debate amounted to profiling his opponent. No-one would remember what was said in the first debate come the general election, and Trump appeared to be probing and watching Clinton's responses. This time he has bloodied her. Whether there is more to come--a thermonuclear revelation of some kind--I have no idea. But given Trump's experience in the entertainment business, we can assume that the really nasty stuff will come out later.
...Whoever wins, a very large part of the electorate--perhaps more than a third--will believe that the government lacks legitimacy. We have not had circumstances like this since the Civil War. If Trump loses, his voters will blame a corrupt oligarchy and its allied media for electing a criminal to the White House; if Clinton loses, the minority constituencies of the Democratic Party will respond as if the Klu Klux Klan had taken over Washington. There has never been anything like this in the past century and a half of American history, and it is thankless to predict the outcome. Nonetheless I will: Trump will crush it. Clinton, the major media, the pollsters, and the mainstream Republican Party have badly misread the insurrectionist mood of the electorate. From your mouth to the ear of G*d, David.

Yup. One thing about Trump, he has exposed a great deal of the ugliness that both sides don't want exposed. All the more reason for TRUMP 2016. Look for the Dems to pull out all the stops between now and Nov. 8th.

I look for the Dems to try to do a Herman Cain number on Trump. Gloria Allred found several women who claimed Cain did nasty things to them. These claims were never proven. The civil lawsuits all went away after the 2012 election but they had the effect of torpedoing him.

BTW, I'd support a special prosecutor to investigate the mess created by the Clintons--just keep Mayberry's Comey away from going near the investigation.

Hillary's people had to know that Trump would unleash on Bill's issues with women and Hillary's coverage of such. I think they hoped that by releasing it right before the debate that would dominate the debate before he could create a counter-punch.
They were wrong big time. I think the counter-blows landed far harder than the initial shots.

There were several moments during the debate when the audience responded loudly and favorably to Trump's jabs. The moderators, of course, were quick to shush them. Strange how Hillary never drew any kind of response like that.

Hmmm, Mayberry FBI. Kinda sorta Andy of Mayberry meets CSI meets The Three Stooges. I like it! Have your people call my people, JQC.
