I agree it was a political move on the part of the Clinton campaign. I wonder if the campaign even calculated Trump’s reaction and that he would be true to form in doubling down. This does not excuse Trump’s behavior, but let’s not kid ourselves into thinking this was not planned by the DNC. Dirty tricks are part and parcel of a presidential campaign on both sides of the aisle.

I remember one time reading once that presidential campaigns have behaviorial analysis experts to learn what makes their opponents tick. I’m sure the DNC takes meticulous notes of Trump’s numerous controversies, and have meticulously studied his responses. They are meticulously studying each and every interview.

Today I read an interview by Trump regarding Mr Khan. And in his interview he said something that stood out to me. He said, "All I did was respond, and I will always respond,” wwmt.com/news/election/donald-trump-one-on-one-with-sinclair
This isn’t any surprise to the DNC, they’ve been studying him. He thinks this is a good quality, but really this is just more ammunition for his opponent. It is true, any negativity and he will always respond.

If we take Trump’s need to “always respond,” he just can’t stop talking. And contrast that with Hillary Clinton who (wisely) hasn’t held a press conference in 240 days. Clinton has something that Trump is lacking, which is self-preservation. I would love to see Clinton grilled in a press conference regarding Benghazi and her emails. I think that she has been better at brushing her controversies to the side, compared to Trump who keeps his controversies front and center on his personal Twitter account, and every news agency in the nation. I think that Trump’s controversies and his lack of ability to let stuff go gives Hillary strength. I’m sure someone out their in the DNC is planning for his next big controversy…it’s so easy to bait him. Even Hillary says so: “A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons.” —Hillary

Whatever else one might think and feel about Hillary, she is right on that score. Notice though how, by saying this, she is attempting to transfer the trust issue, which is a negative for her, onto Trump. The same strategy involved the change issue at the DNC: now she is cast as the candidate of change, not Trump and not Sanders. She has the clever ability to transform and reinvent herself (another Madonna): she has nearly become Bernie Sanders at this point. Which is the real Hillary? In this sense, you are right in that she knows the art of self-preservation probably even better than Trump, who, one would think, has a similar skill, given his ability to maintain a business empire for so long.

Hillary said that? An astonishing admission if so.

But is that the only way to look at it? It’s true that many Americans, possibly, but not necessarily most, are so mind-fogged with political correctness that they fall for this stuff. But possibly the majority do not. Not having the media at their disposal, many Americans actually think of Trump as the only truthful person in the race; a surrogate for themselves. Taunting him is taunting them.

It is remarkable, when you think about it, that Americans have been endlessly reminded by media, and not just on the right, how oppressive Islam is toward women. Trump is called a racist, a hater of women, judges and Muslims, and not obliquely but directly. And the Dems knew Khan was going to do that. And at least many in this country know they did, and they know those comments were directed not only at Trump but at them too.

Remember what the Sanders-is-a-Jew thing was about? It was to be used at least primarily in Ky and Tenn. What does that tell you about the DNC mindset? “Well, those rednecks there will go into Jew-hating mode like the anti-Semitic Nazis they, and all southerners are.” The contempt that party has for ordinary American citizens is breathtaking.

Maybe the voters will truly turn against Trump for expressing sympathy for the Khans, but then mentioning something most people know to be true…that much of Islam suppresses women. But maybe most will think “…this fellow Khan spewed hate at Trump and Trump said something we all know is true, and then the media spews even more hate in support of Clinton who, by the way, hates us too…”

Hard to know right now.

well, Hillary was interviewed by Chris Wallace on Fox. She did not do well. That is why she hasn’t done a press conference in 240 days. She continues to not tell the truth. She is not trustworthy.

Maybe Trump is a dummy in all of this. But one needs to remember that Trump (and apparently his children too) actually puts on a hard hat and goes out on projects with actual working people. Hillary Clinton’s closest association with working people was her keeping their wages down as a board member of Walmart.

Which one really understands ordinary working people? Might not be Hillary Clinton after all.

But wasn’t Hillary involved in programs which focused on social justice from an early age? Maybe she paid more attention to poor people rather than the working poor and the middle class. I don’t know and, frankly, at this point, what difference does it make? Still, remember Hillary was brought up in a conservative and comfortable Republican family and supported Nixon in the 1960 election as well as Goldwater in 1964. In fact, she investigated electoral voter fraud that might have cost Nixon the election against Kennedy. Blame Bill for her conversion. Or perhaps her mother and her Methodist roots which emphasized social justice and led to her meeting Martin Luther King. It’s an interesting history and evolution.

I’m sorry, I just can’t see Trump’s “Honesty” as being one of his endearing traits. He has been caught in so many lies…He’s either had a relationship with Putin or he hasn’t (He has both claimed that he has, and denied that he hasn’t). He claimed that he saw thousands and thousands muslims celebrate in the streets of New Jersey when 9/11 happened, that did not happen. What’s makes this lie more disturbing is that it is a slur against the Islamic community in New Jersey, and probably contributes to the poor image that he has with muslims. Some of his lies are just ridiculous…no he has not received a letter from the NFL in which they complained to him about the dates of the presidential debates, this lie is just so ridiculous. I am dumbfounded as to what the point was with him uttering it.

I do think it’s disturbing for people to take it as a personal insult when the media finds Trump in another lie. By now, Trump should know that the media is going to fact check him…so he should try to be honest. As an aside though, I’ve heard it said that most politicians do lie. I just don’t believe Trump, however, I just don’t believe Hillary either, and no I do not take it personally when either of them lie.

I do agree with you that when the DNC wanted to use Bernie Sanders Jewish faith against him, that was very despicable of the DNC.
 
Look up the resume of that Kahn guy.

He apparently works as a lawyer for the Clinton foundation.

Which they don’t like to talk about.

If that is true, it was a despicable thing for the convention to put him on the schedule. That does not take away the sacrifice his family has made. If you think about it, this family came to this country legally and are, I presume, citizens. Trump was never talking about people like that, he is talking about hoards of people being taken in without proper and thorough vetting. With the world in the state it is, it is foolish not to take this stance. ISIS is striking all over the world and we need to keep it as far away from our shores as possible. I am not, in any way, defending what Trump said.

I hope hilliary and Tim sweep the election. It is about time we elect a woman president and Tim will be a great asset to our next president. She is a very strong person and has stood strong against all the crazy hilliary haters especially those judgmental right wing nots who would deny us our freedom to choose. You cannot legislate morality as we saw when women got abortions illegally. I am against abortion but I am for social programs that help poor girls make the right choice to go for adoption. You hear the right condemn Hilliary and call for her crucification and then turn human beings away from this country and back to misery and strife. The right pushes the death penalty but condemns a woman who has done more for womans rights than anyone before her. Trump has only done things for himself and has never sacrificed from what I understand. I am voting for hilliary and all the dems. God bless all of you. Fathergregory.

  1. You’re a Catholic priest? Honest question.
  2. Is “crazy hilliary haters” and “judgmental right wing nots” appropriate names to call others?
  3. “You cannot legislate morality” - Seems an odd statement, especially from a priest. What other morality based laws should we repeal? Murder? Assault? Rape? Theft?
  4. “our freedom of choice” - What “choice” do you believe is being denied? Could be be specific? Are you meaning the choice to kill your child in the womb?
  5. You later state that adoption is the “right choice”. Why is adoption the right choice? And why would you want to fight for the ability of people to make the wrong choice?
  6. Hillary has done more for “womans rights” than anyone else? Please elaborate

Julian Assange: Hacked Emails Include Info On Hillary’s Arming of Jihadists, Including ISIS, in Syria

And here is the reason that Obama and Hillary did nothing when the Benghazi compound came under assault. If they sent troops, the world would find out they had been arming the jihadists. So they gave stand-down orders and left them to die.

I don’t think the Dems’ actions were any more cruel than the Repubs’ actions of putting on a grieving mother who said she held Hillary Clinton personally responsible for her son’s death, accompanied by the repeated chanting of the audience “Lock her up.” Both are instances of the campaigns’ exploitation of personal tragedy for political gain. It’s politics, dirty politics, cruel politics, if you like. But politics, none the less.
Click to expand...
It’s a perfect example of the media bias though. Hillary has called the Benghazi families liars, repeatedly. She called her a liar again after the convention. And how much media attention has it gotten?

Compare that to DT and the Khan’s.

So, it’s ok to insult the parent of a fallen solider if the parent works as a lawyer for the Clinton Fountain? It’s ok to disparage the sacrifice of a solider if that soldier’s parent is a Democrat? What possible RELEVANCE does that have on Trump’s un-American attacks on someone who paid the ultimate price?

LIke I said above, it is an ad hominem attack. It has no relevance.
