Trump mocks Clinton over ‘short-circuit’ comment
2016-08-08
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump slammed Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminence and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Richelieu ...
as mentally unstable at a Saturday campaign rally, seizing on her admission that she "short-circuited" in comments about her private email use at the State Department.

"The people of this country don’t want somebody who’s going to short circuit up here," Trump told supporters in New Hampshire.

"She’s a dangerous liar," the real estate mogul said of the Democratic former secretary of state. "She is a totally unhinged person. She's unbalanced."

Trump’s supporters chanted "Lock her up!" during the event in the town of Windham, which was broadcast online.

On Friday, Clinton acknowledged she "may have short-circuited" when she tried to clarify statements about her use of a private email server.

The Democrat had told Fox News Sunday that FBI director James Comey said her "answers were truthful" about whether she sent or received classified material via private email.

That comment was branded false by Washington-based fact-checkers.

Trump, 70, has embraced her phrasing as a line of attack. On Saturday ahead of his rally in New Hampshire, he posted a campaign ad on his Facebook page that refers to Clinton as "Robot Hillary" -- and shows sparks flying out of her mouth.

"Is Robot Hillary melting down?" the ad asks.

Trump is trying to boost his campaign after a week of missteps that saw his poll numbers drop and the 68-year-old Clinton, a former senator and first lady, seize the momentum.

He reversed course and endorsed House Speaker Paul Ryan
...U.S. Representative for Wisconsin's 1st congressional district, serving since 1999. He is a member of the Republican Party. He proposed an alternative to President Obama's 2011 budget and made himself the target of both Democrat and Republican verbal pies...
for re-election on Friday, pledging to work with Republican Party leaders.

Trump also said he would support veteran Republican Senator John Maverick McCain
... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution...
, with whom he has sparred in the past.

"We need unity. We have to win this election," Trump told a rally in Ryan’s state of Wisconsin.

#9  God Forbid that this would actually become a republic with individual rights being most important, instead of a "democracy" where the rights are subject to the whims of government and whoever can scrape up the biggest mob to control it.

At least now Trump is back on the right message, going after the proper target, Hillary. Too little too late? I do not know. The past week he has been pretty self destructive.

#8  God forbid people should have a say in their state.

If they want to go the way of Venezuela California, that's their choice.

“Well, I’m in favor of fracking, but I think that voters should have a big say in it,” Trump told Rittiman.

#2  1. Since the convention, Trump ***is*** the establishment. Whatever happens now, he owns.

2. In other news, he just came out in favor of an anti-fracking measure in Colorado.

#1  The GOP establishment put a leash on Trump. About time someone brought him to reality that he is blowing this election with his lashing out at his own party, and that loser of a fight with the Khans.
