The Dems and Hillary are masters at manipulating the sound bite crowd. How many votes were taken from Mittens Romney when the whole dog in a crate on the roof debacle surfaced and was played over and over. How about his binder with profiles of fellow business women in it suddenly he was waging war on women that sexist pig!

The problem with Trump is he says a lot of stupid things and of course Hillary will grab onto those silly mutterings and turn them into votes for her.

Problem is, the swift boat guys told the truth about Kerry - we know Hillary is incapable of telling the truth.

Hillary is currently telling the TRUTH about Trump. Trump is trying to run the same tactics he used in the Republican primary, this strategy will not work in the General Election.

If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq," for which he took a lot of heat. Also, there was the snickering because he married into money but he was fairly well to do before he married into ketchup.

I wonder how he would have done if he ran now instead of 2004.
Trump thinks on his feet and communicates extemporaneously. He doesn't need notes, talking points, teleprompters, or prepared speeches written by campaign staff.

Contrary to what a handful of Anti-Trump CD people seem to think, the American people like that and find it very refreshing.

All you have to do is ask yourself and be completely honest : What type of person do you really like better - someone who completely thinks by and for themself, versus someone who is measured, uses prepared notes and talking points and teleprompters for every once of communication. Pure and simple - that's a bot not a human being.

Trump did a fairly decent job against Ted Cruz who is easily ten times more intelligent than Hilliary and easily Ten times the Attorney she ever was or could be. Depending upon how controlled the debate climate is.....he should wipe her off the stage if he doesn't hold back because she's a woman.

Madam secretary pretends to take the high road “I will not run an ugly race”, of course not, because she is flawed and crooked, any negative thing that comes out of her mouth will be countered 10 fold.

Truth is they do not know to take Trump down. Attack Trump: you lose, do not attack Trump: you lose, LOL.

I don't see them turning into votes except with people, well, that aren't that bright in the first place and don't have a clue what shape the country is in.

Keep telling yourself that. You chant along with Hillary "Madame President", but only in your dreams and my nightmares will it happen. She is going to get thrown under the bus!

The thing with Hillary is she tries to just use others to do her dirty work. I have been very concerned about both Sanders and Trump because of the reputation of the Clintons and people that might stand in their way.

I think they have did a good job of keeping Clinton behind the scenes and when they let her out, she inserts her foot in her mouth and then tries to say people misunderstood. That is very typical of a sociopath and they do not believe anything they do is wrong EVER. It is ALWAYS the fault of someone else.

I wonder how they plan to protect Hillary when it comes to the debates IF she makes it that far. You can only cough and laugh inappropriately for just so long before it becomes ridiculous.

Trump served in Vietnam on a swift boat?

This is news to me.

I really don't think it will. People are already sick of the sound of his voice. He's spinning his wheels attacking like crazy. Some day he'll need to take a breath and tell people why they should vote for him.

He's still throwing spaghetti at a wall. Last week it was Crooked Hillary, but that kind of boomeranged on him, so this week it's Heartless Hillary--taking guns from poverty stricken women--a huge issue!

When does this guy graduate high school and stop running for student union pres?

Swift boating implies lying about a candidate.

No one needs to lie about Trump, this is more than enough truth to sink him.

YOU ARE CORRECT! ... they much prefer the soft, melodic, soothing sound her voice/laughter.
