Trump’s bad week is a ‘nightmare’ for the GOP

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trumps-bad-week-is-a-nightmare-for-the-gop/2016/09/30/e9290ad8-8727-11e6-92c2-14b64f3d453f_story.html

“You’ve got the nomination of the party, and you’ve got a certain responsibility to the party to try to win this thing, but he gets sidetracked very easily,” Davis said. “He goes off on personal vendettas, and it’s just not helpful if you want to win."

Donald Trump Opens New Line of Attack on Hillary Clinton: Her Marriage

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/01/us/politics/donald-trump-interview-bill-hillary-clinton.html

"In an interview with The New York Times, he also contended that infidelity was “never a problem” during his three marriages, though his first ended in an ugly divorce after Mr. Trump began a relationship with the woman who became his second wife."

"Mr. Trump said he believed that his own marital history did not preclude him from waging such an attack. He became involved with Marla Maples while he was still married to his first wife, Ivana, who divorced him in 1991. He married Ms. Maples in 1993; they were divorced in 1999. He married his current wife, Melania, in 2005.

While Mr. Trump has bragged about his sexual exploits over the years, he charged in the interview that Mr. Clinton had numerous indiscretions that “brought shame onto the presidency, and Hillary Clinton was there defending him all along.”

But when asked if he had ever cheated on his wives, Mr. Trump said: “No — I never discuss it. I never discuss it. It was never a problem.”

Asked specifically about his affair with Ms. Maples when he was married to Ivana Trump, Mr. Trump said: “I don’t talk about it. I wasn’t president of the United States. I don’t talk about it. When you think of the fact that he was impeached, the country was in turmoil, turmoil, absolute turmoil. He lied with Monica Lewinsky and paid a massive penalty.”

"Mrs. Clinton’s team, Democrats supporting her and many senior Republicans have braced for an attack on the Clintons’ marital history, seeing it as inevitable — particularly now that Mr. Trump is being advised by several people connected to efforts in the late 1990s to reveal Mr. Clinton’s affair with Ms. Lewinsky and to the subsequent impeachment battle.

David Bossie, Mr. Trump’s deputy campaign manager, is the president of the conservative group Citizens United, and worked as an investigator who searched Arkansas for evidence of Mr. Clinton’s personal misdeeds during the 1992 presidential campaign."

Trump on Clinton: 'I can be nastier than she ever can be'

http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/30/politics/donald-trump-bill-clinton-presidential-debate-hillary-clinton/

"Referring to Eric Trump's comments earlier in the week that Donald Trump showed "courage" in not bringing up the issue at the debate, Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon tweeted Friday night, "Assume (Eric Trump) now believes he's a coward."

"Looking ahead to the next debate, Trump said he's going to start preparing as early as this weekend. But he does not think that he needs to prepare more rigorously, blaming audio issues Monday with distracting him.
He "spent 50 percent of my thought process" dealing with it, Trump said."
So what I got from that is he never really cheated because he "doesn't discuss it" and he has such a simple brain that a mic issue takes "50 percent of his thought process" to deal with. Couldn't imagine such a simple mind dealing with the pressures of the presidency.

 
How does the Iraq thing keep coming up? As a positive for a Republican? Really? Everyone Trump is trying to appeal to by saying he never supported the Iraq war voted for Bush a 2nd term, McCain, and the Romeny. Now they aren't going to vote for hIllary because she supported it? What the actual ####? Seriously. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! 
Of all of the strange aspects of this strangest of all elections, this one might be the strangest of all. 

Republicans would like to collectively erase the Iraq war from their memories. It never happened. Their rabid support for it never happened. Their calling out anybody who opposed the war as a traitor or anti-Amerrican (remember how the Dixie Chicks were banned from country stations?) never happened. 

The new rewritten story is that Hillary Clinton invaded Iraq, and that the crisis over there began when Obama and Hillary arbitrarily decided to pull out troops. Even Josef Stalin would have admired this bit of historical revisionism.

And then Clinton and Obama founded ISIS, of course.

When your voting base are uninformed enough to swallow literally any BS that Hannity and Limbaugh want to serve up, this kind of stuff is the result.  :shrug:

 
I sincerely hope that Trump, and other idiots like Giuliani, continue to bring up the infidelity issue about Hillary and Bill. IMHO, this can only strengthen Hillary's position. And you have to know that she is crafting all manner of responses to these attacks.

It boggles my mind how these morons think that this is a good idea.

Needs to be framed around how Hillary treated the victims, not just about his cheating.

Hannity never backs off his support of the war. His angle is that it was badly mis-managed from the start. Which is correct.

I get this. And I know that is what Trump is going to do. But I imagine that Hillary will simply counter head-on by claiming that she was in a defensive position trying to save her marriage and her family. Bill lied to her (and to everyone), and she wanted to believe him. But once she learned the truth, she was devastated, and I would imagine that she was remorseful in how she treated Lewinsky and others.

All she has to do is tell the truth. I have no problem with any of this. She was forced into this position. She did not create any of it. Accept responsibility for her role and move on... something that Trump is unable to do.

Doesn't matter how it is framed. Won't make a difference. Losing issue to bring up with female swing voters:

Donald Trump's Campaign Is Quietly Shouting About Clinton Sex Scandals

[...]

Tim Miller and Katie Packer, two Republican strategists who oppose Trump, conducted focus groups before the primaries where they tested attacks tied to the former president's sex scandals with female swing voters. They concluded it was a political dead end.

"These voters were completely turned off and disgusted by it," Miller said in an e-mail. "We found time and again these attacks turned Hillary into a victim and that it engendered sympathy for her."

Packer said women showed little interest in judging Hillary Clinton's behavior toward her husband's accusers or the inner workings of her marriage.

"We know this is candy for Republican base voters ... but it doesn't do you any favors with women we need to win elections," Packer added in a phone interview.

Really sucks that all of us who were right about Iraq, who put up with being called anti-American and "you're either with us or against attacks" are now again being attacked for supporting a candidate who merely voted to give Bush the authority to invade Iraq.  Now it's our candidate's fault for ISIS even though it is very well established that ISIS spawned out of de-Baathification following Bush's invasion of Iraq.

I can almost guarantee Hannity was all over the "you are against us" if you even hinted the war was a mistake, being mismanaged, etc.

For those few people knocking me for tweeting at three o'clock in the morning, at least you know I will be there, awake, to answer the call!

Absolutely true. Hannity expressed extreme anger at any accusation that the war was mismanaged, implying that anybody who said that was anti-American and a traitor.

I imagine that Hillary will simply counter by being silent. Let Trump's words echo throughout the silent building full of stunned onlookers, the only noise being the ecstatic screams and yelps of the few Trump supporters who thought this tactic would be a good idea.

 
Last fall, Trump described her refugee policies as catastrophic and when Clinton recently suggested that the US take in more Syrian refugees, Trump called his opponent "America's Angela Merkel," as if a comparison with the German Chancellor qualified as an insult.
"Well, I think (Angela) Merkel is a really great world leader, but I was very disappointed that -- when she -- this move with the whole thing on immigration," Trump said, referring to the German chancellor.

I think this dates back to McCain, they felt like they lost to Obama mostly on the Iraq war, then decided to flip the script and begin nearly immediately blaming Obama for the failure to end and control that affair.  The message never quite got on point for the Romney ticket.  

It's confusing because they want us to be tough on ISIS, but yet were/are against troops in Iraq.  I just don't get it.

"Mr. Trump, I'm sorry if the fact that I believe marriage is a sacred obligation for life offends you.  Fortunately, there are millions of people who agree with me that marriage is not just a convenience that you honor only until you can find a younger, prettier model to dump your spouse for."

That makes me smart

Pretty good response,  except she needs to call him Donald.  He HATES that. 

 
Trump says he may not accept result if Clinton wins, in reversal from debate




GOP nominee also spoke at length with the New York Times about the marital infidelities of former president Bill Clinton, insisting ‘Hillary was an enabler’




https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/sep/30/trump-clinton-support-election-winner-debate-interview

"Donald Trump said on Friday that he would not necessarily accept the results of the presidential election in the event that Hillary Clinton defeats him, reversing his statement four days earlier that he would “absolutely” respect them.

After the first presidential debate on Monday, the Republican nominee told reporters “absolutely I would” honor the results of the election should he lose. In an interview with the New York Times on Friday, he backtracked: “We’re going to have to see. We’re going to see what happens. We’re going to have to see.”

Earlier that day at a rally in Detroit, Trump resurfaced fears of voter fraud and his unsubstantiated complaints of a “rigged” election. He told supporters that voter fraud is “a big, big problem in this country”, although research has found a few dozen potential incidents of in-person voter fraud in 14 years of US elections. He also urged them to “go and watch the polling places and make sure it is on the up and up”."
This is appalling. He needs trounced in the popular vote. This type of talk is why you have to vote Clinton. Protest voting adds to his arguments. 

 
They've finally found somebody, besides himself, that the Trunp Foundation donated money to:

It was Jenny McCarthy's anti-vaccine group! 
Well,  she is very beautiful.  And have you seen her body? She's fantastic. Really,  really beautiful. 

(full disclosure :I had a Playboy subscription when Jenny was Playmate of the Year,  and she truly was fantastic.) 

 
"Notably, she [Marla Maples, Trump's future wife] did resist Trump's insistence that she accept Playboy magazine's million-dollar centerfold offer. "Trump himself was on the phone negotiating the fee," rememebers a top Playboy editor. "He wanted her to do the nude layout. She didn't." 

 
I think the Miss Universe story is largely overblown - as Miss Universe, a major part of your job is to stay in shape and look great, as much as feminists hate to admit it - but as usual, Trump makes a mess out of it with his constant diarrhea of the mouth.  To quote Joe Pesci, he could #### up a cup of coffee.

The worst part of it had nothing to do with her weight, even though the "Miss Piggy" is most of what the media is talking about. I don't care who you are, calling a Latina "Miss Housekeeping" is bigoted.

 
And just the fact that he can't let it go.  It's ridiculous,  and fascinating to watch,  that all you have to do is push this guy's buttons and let him bury himself. 

I guarantee Hillary has a psychiatrist or two consulting her on how to deal with him.  He's so easy to read. Just insult him and let him take it from there.

She should simply ask him if his  microphone is fine the first time she speaks at the next debate

A lot of couples divorce when they fall out of love with their spouses or in love with someone else.  Bill Clinton is more than a cheater. He is a sexual predictor.  I would not want him in my neighborhood if I have a daughter.

What kind of predictions has he made?

Hey that's fair. Unfortunately, Trump wouldn't be convincing you of anything if he brings it up at the town hall. He would be speaking to millions of women with imperfect mates, and they might not like what they hear.

Whatever you think of Bill has zero--ZERO--bearing on whether or not it's a good idea to mention this at a town hall, where the goobers won't be chanting and cheering.

It'll be a quiet setting, and he'll be insulting a woman for forgiving her man. Lot of people will see it that way. 

It would be a massive mistake to do it, even with Trumps brand of understatement and class.  :cough:

 
It's basically the same strategy as that week when he went around screaming that "she's the real racist" - that worked so well!
