The Future President, Donald Trump

Whether or not they're politically motivated is academic, it's whether or not he did it, and it seems well dodgy. It just a shame it takes an election to spur the AG into taking action

So you believe that Donald Trump is not under an IRS audit? Hey I've got some pixie dust for sale that will allow you to eat all the cheese cake you want and never gain a pound.

I thnk you missed the significance of what she said and did. She characterized "half of Trump supporters" as deplorable "Xenophobes, racists, homophobes, islamophobes", etc,

Wait, wait, wait.

Don't Trumpers love Trump for not being afraid to speak bluntly? For not cowtowing to "political correct" language norms?

But you get to criticize Clinton for doing the same as him?

That's called wanting to have your cake and eat it, too....

Moreover, you are way overestimating the percent of deplorables there are even among Trump supporters when you say "a very large segment of voters." , a majority of Trump supporters fit in the other basket who dislike or distrust big government etc.. and are just supporting Trump because they do not want a democrat much less Hillary president.

You have such a sad tendency towards inaccurate hyperbolic statements.

I suspect Hillary will face some consequences for it.

((No, she was pretty clear, I understood what she was saying.))

She characterized "half of Trump supporters" as deplorable "Xenophobes, vracists, homophobes, islamophobes", etc, thereby rather sweepingly characterizing whatever real concerns exist in those broad areas as exclusively a result of narrow minded prejudice.

((Finally Hillary says out loud what people are thinking. And there is no such thing as broad minded prejudice....))

In effect she rejected the existence of any legitmate voter concerns in the areas
of immigration and border control , race relations,the increasingly intrusive Federal government involvement in issues ((like rest rooms in public schools)) increasing crime in our cities, and the traditional religious values of the many Americans, as simply prejudice.

((This is utter nonsense))

The fact is there are indeed real issues out there in each area and reasonable concerns behind them. Moreover they are indeed issues in this election.

((And yet you say you don't support Trump))

I don't doubt that there is some element of narrow minded prejudice among Trump suporters in some of these areas ,

((Some element????? Only some????))

but Hillary had very clearly shown us all that there is also a major element of prejudice in the self-styled "liberals" (actually closet authoritarians) who oppose Trump.

((I don't see it that way at all, I think she went easy on the deplorables. And as far as being closet authoritarian, that's just parroting the same garbage Trump peddles so successfully, most of us have had about all they can stomach. If that makes me an authoritarian, perhaps it's time to reacquaint yourself with Merriam Webster))

She sneeringly mischaracterized large areas of her political opposition as stupid bigots.

((She didn't sneer, and bigots are not exactly the most enlightened. Have you ever heard someone referred to as the smartest bigot in the campaign? ))


People aren't stupid and they quickly see through such self absorbed arrogance. I suspect Hillary will face some consequences

((Maybe, or maybe supporters are screaming "finally she says what the rest of us are thinking". And you know as well as I do that some people actually are stupid.))
