Clinton campaign releases parody ad for Trump University
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton adjusted their presidential politicking Sunday, first offering prayers and support to the victims of the worst mass shooting in US history.
Anthony List has warned that Clinton’s extreme positions – such as supporting taxpayer funding of abortion, which is opposed by 70 percent of the American people – threaten her electoral viability in November. And Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg says Republican candidates for the House and Senate would risk large defections from their base if they are seen as sabotaging Trump. An aide said Clinton would make clear that she will “continue to speak out on the progressive issues that have been important to her throughout her career, and throughout this primary”. Trump has a 40 percent favorable rating. For those unfamiliar with Fred Tuttles venture into politics, heres a quick refresher.
“Hillary will bring hundreds of thousands of refugees, many of whom have hostile beliefs about people of different faiths and values and some of whom absolutely and openly support terrorism in our country”, he claimed.
Hillary Clinton faces a strategic choice. Its simple: Donald Trump is a thin-skinned political novice who is long on rhetoric, but very short on substance. Ted Cruz, Trump’s former GOP presidential primary rival, who underscored in a statement Sunday that radical Islamist groups like ISIS “target the gay and lesbian community” and accused Democrats of insufficiently speaking out against radical Islam.
With Donald Trump its all about him, not about the country, a core political philosophy, or even his supporters.
Trump, meanwhile, got much better marks when asked who would shake up Washington.
His temperament may be suited for the rough and tumble world of urban real estate development and reality television, but as president it would mean giving the governments political and military (and spy) power to someone who detests being challenged and is hell-bent on getting back at those he feels have wronged him. Hillary Clinton and Planned Parenthood do not represent us. In fact, the Republicans should be eager to run against her.
She praised “a$3 ll the opportunities that follow when women are able to stay healthy and choose whether and when to become mothers”.
Trump’s criticism of Clinton mirrored that of Texas Sen.
But in a speech to a major evangelical confab, many Republicans still seemed skeptical of their presumptive nominee, while Democrats at a Planned Parenthood gathering were fired up about theirs. Or maybe it’s that she found, in Trump, the ideal long-awaited foil. Clinton has a 51% favorability among women, according to a recent ABC News/Washington Post poll, while 47% have an unfavorable view of her. The spectacle is a fixture of Trump events, though one not seen here previously.
What the Republican elite understand and why they don’t unleash a hellacious attempt to keep Donald Trump off the ballot and kick him out of the Party is that their voters legitimately want Trump at the top of the ticket as the standard bearer. Trump joked that he was Presbyterian, while many in the audience were not.
For better or for worse, Clinton has also met Trump on his home turf, lobbing cheeky comments back and forth on Twitter, which is where Trump often goes to share his most honest thoughts. Neither does being a candidate who, we’re assured over so many years, is amusing and warm in private, as if that weren’t its own kind of indictment of a politician who has to successfully reach out to the many millions.
