Here's how Hillary Clinton's allies plan to go after Trump

"The fact of the matter is knowledge about Donald Trump is a mile wide and an inch deep," Guy Cecil says.

The coming ad assault against Donald Trump from pro-Hillary Clinton super PAC Priorities USA Action is likely to drill a three-pronged message deep into the minds of swing state voters, if the group’s leaders have their way.

The three central tenets of the message will be that the real estate investor is a divisive character, that he’s too dangerous to vote for, and that he’s a con man, Priorities’ chief strategist Guy Cecil explained to POLITICO on Monday — two days before the organization started its run of television advertising that’s set to effectively stay on the air straight through Election Day in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Virginia.

Mittens carpet-bombed the channels here in CO with non-stop ads in 2012 from the summer right thru Election Day.

He lost.

Those three points apply much more to Hillary Clinton than they do to Donald Trump! Voters know the difference.

Divisive, dangerous and a con artist. Hillary is describing herself to the letter. Sorry Hillary, but the country rejected the Bush family in the GOP primaries and they’ll stick a fork in you and the rest of the Clinton Dynasty in the general election.

This is playing into Trump’s hands.

Is he more of a divisive character who is to dangerous to vote for an a worse con-man than Hillary?

When you can’t tell people why you would make a better candidate than your opponent, but instead have to slime them to make them look worse than you, then you’re all but admitting defeat. The country is a mess and most Americans know a vote for Hillary is a continuation of this mess and that’s why all she has left is a slime attack on Trump.

Wasn’t that the Republican Establishment playbook? LOL
TRUMP will win in a landslide.

We’ve only been hearing this stuff 10x a day for the last 6 months. Maybe hearing it 20x a day will do the trick...

This isn’t the same old campaign tactics that cankles is used to...

She has a real man, an out spoken man, a street fighter who will not only slam her hard, but she won’t be able to mentally or physically keep up with him, after the first week, she will be screaming her famous four letter words for all to hear...

This is what the popcorn is for...to sit back and watch this great Man take down the Clinton/Bush Crime Families...oh yeah baby, we are ready!!!

It’s ok DT knows how to hit back and it won’t be pretty. Rommy boy was a pantie boy. Trump takes out the club.

All of those things are also true about Hillary, and even more so.

Plus, she's the only candidate currently being investigated by the FBI.

And, she's married to a serial sexual assaulter/harasser that she promises to give a role in her administration.

I think Hillary doesn't yet realize that she is going to run into a buzz saw. Trump won't handle her with kid gloves, like the rest of the Republicans.

Donalds three pronged message back:
1. She enabled Bills Bad behavior and went after his bimbos
2. She lied about Benghazi where four brave Americans died
3. She is up to her eyeballs in illegal activities including TREASON
the best plan for Trump it to execute his plan against Hillary soon and hit her often

Sounds like Mrs. Bill Clinton to me.

-—”The fact of the matter is knowledge about Donald Trump is a mile wide and an inch deep,” Guy Cecil says.-—

The problem isn’t the knowledge they know about Trump, it’s the lies, falsehoods and fabrications they will make up out of thin air...

To attack him...

You think Harry Reid played dirty with his Romney paid no taxes...

We haven’t seen nothing yet...

Isn’t it nice to see the Democrats scramble and struggle on how to combat a Republican opponent for a change? Not since Reagan have we seen someone on our side who could handle the media and at the same time make mincemeat of their opponents.

And nobody except the most die-hard mouthbreathing Prog-tard believes this stuff. I’m not worried.
