He is maybe in the GOP which is a very dysfunctional and wrongheaded party. I mean a Jeb or Kasich can only hit Trump so hard on immigration or Muslims as they are running on the same things. Kasich forgets that he is also for a wall and supported deporting the 11 million back in 2010. <br /><br />So there is not much they can really say about Trump substantively. But with Hillary the gloves come off. <br /><br />Recall, how Obama put him in his place at that correspondence dinner back in 2012. Trump had to slink out of public life for awhile after that. <br /><br />When the Democrats take their gloves off they will get in some real good hits. I have no intention of hitting him too hard until the day he becomes the GOP nominee-not a day before.

Just to physically go through that hearing even if the politics had started to favor her was a superhuman testament to her physical and mental, uh, stamina. <br /><br />But she lived through the 90s where she and her husband were attacked in the most visceral and dishonest terms every day. She had to be humiliated over her husband's affair publicly while defending him throughout it. <br /><br />If there is a politician who'd be up to it, it's her. As for knowing him, I guess it's a double edged sword-he knows her, she knows him. <br /><br />My guess is she would be able to anticipate his tricks. Either way, I'm with you-it's the dream matchup. The Republican party will never be the same again which is a very good thing. <br /><br />I still have to hand it to him though. I mean you listen to what he was saying about her yesterday with what he's said about her in the past, it shows this guy has a certain gift, I don't mind saying. <br /><br />He's the opposite of a True Believer-but it's the TBs who have been the big problem over the last 34 years.

A lot more. I really do want to see a Hillary Trump battle not only cuz I think the Dems would win it also means the repubs lose no matter who wins.<br /><br />I do however think that the personal closeness of Hillary and Donald might work against Hillary. Donald knows her well and he knows why certain people (GOP and Independent) hate her. He has the ability to get her to lose her cool, which would not be good. Those guys at the Benghazi hearings were rank amateurs when it comes to finding a way to fluster Hillary. Hell I think after all that stuff was leaked about the politicization of the panel those guys were kind of playing defense. A Senate panel cannot do what a political opponent on the campaign trail can.<br /><br />Look, I certainly think that Hillary will be up to the task of fighting Trump but I do however think Trump could get her to make herself look bad. Trump doesn't need to garner very many more votes, he just needs to make Hillary look toxic so enough people stay home cuz they aren't passionate enough for her or against him.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03139782404004492965noreply@blogger.com
