Clinton Versus Trump
2016-03-17
h/t Instapundit
It looks like we’ll have a Clinton versus Trump contest for the White House.

The last time Trump and Clinton mixed it up hard, Clinton called Trump sexist and Trump responded that she was an enabler for her husband’s womanizing. In summary:

- Clinton accused Trump of being anti-woman

- Trump accused Clinton of being anti-woman

I wonder if we have seen all of the permutations of gender politics. I doubt we will see Clinton accuse Trump of being anti-male. That wouldn’t stick.

But we haven’t seen Trump accuse Clinton of being anti-male. And that would stick like tar. He might be saving that one for later.
Trump understands one basic truth---you can't have a substantive argument in televised political campaign. It's like in schoolyard verbal sparring. Making some catchy rhyme denigrating your opponent (e.g. Ted cabbage head) is better than "trying to reason" or to "disprove" their claims.
