Was it a mistake for Trump’s Republican primary opponents not to have dug for dirt on his personal life?
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Hard to do oppo research when the Democrats just make it up
Just saying
Total BS. Slick did worse and was a great POTUS according to the LSM.
She wanted them to make up sh!t like the liberals do?
How funny. The big wigs were too cheap, proud, and afraid to “really” dig and go after Trump.
The MSM and the candidates themselves employed all the conventional tactics to take him down. And it would have worked against a GOPe candidate who made a small or unforced error. But they didn’t work against Trump because he did the one thing the GOPe never does: he fought back.
Responding to the comments by people refuting the claims against Trump:
I’m not saying that they’re all true. But I do tend to believe that when there’s enough smoke, there’s fire. Similar to Bill Cosby although the accusations against Trump are not as serious.
And the actions of which he’s been confused are precisely the kinds of things he told Billy Bush on the hot mic tape that he did.
Yeah that’s it all 16 of them screwed up. /s. Total bs. Trump is a great candidate the malpractice is all about Hillary now.
We must overcomb!!
Here is a clue. This is an ARTICLE that implies that Trump HAD dirt? Where is the dirt? There is no proof of dirt. Are they so stupid ( these are GOPe Rinos) that they don’t understand manufactured intentional SLANDER? There is no Dirt. Saying “Pu$$y “ on a bus? Here is some dirt. 1000 independent, free standing secret documents on emails on and illegal server? $250 million raked is for later actions to be performed for foreign countries by this bitch,Lying to congress!! , Destroying evidence after receiving a subpoena? There is some F’in dirt ,IDIOTS!! Not saying “pussy” on a bus or the lies of a fat pornqueen. Wake the hell up@! in fact don’t wake up. Just PACK UP— YOU’RE FIRED!!
That’s a “Susan”? Looks more like a Fred
Inventing stuff is also “political malpractice” and most of the newer stuff about gropings and rape are invented totally. The betting is that this stuff cannot be effectively refuted in the short time left before the election. And even if it is the damage is done because the people will remember the charges much more clearly than the resolutions. MSM will validate all of them by repeating them as gospel even in the face of contrary proof.
Remember "Bambi Meets Godzilla?"
Maybe they did a lot of oppo research on Trump but didn’t find anything and, unlike the democrats, knew the media wouldn’t cover for them if they made stuff up.
I agree with most here that these women claiming to be “victims” of Trump are liars and wouldn’t have shown up on any competent oppo research investigation during the primaries.
However, the tape has been around since 2005 and Billy Bush did know about the tapes existence (he bragged about it to NBC colleagues at the Olympics). His first cousin, Jeb, also had to know about the tape. I’m sure Billy turned it over to his cousin Jeb for his use, but for whatever reason Jeb or any of his PAC’s didn’t release it to an MSM organization or make a commercial out of it during the primary.
Maybe they were going to release it later in the primaries when most of the other 16 candidates would be gone and Jeb would be standing alone vs Trump, but Jeb did so horribly that he had to drop out after South Carolina.
After Jeb dropped, maybe the Bushes debated about whether to get the tape to the Cruz campaign (Cruz being close to the Bushes) or save it for use against Trump right before the general election should he be the GOP nominee for max payback against Trump for his going after both Jeb and his brother in a to them rather brutal fashion.
Looks like the payback option won.
What difference would it have made? These stories sprang to life mere days ago.
According to the podesta files what they’re throwing now they had inApril/May. So the sell outs knew
You can bet your bottom dollar they did do research and didn’t turn up anything newsworthy.
Yeah, because everybody knows that the GOPe and the media have not been trying to dig up dirt and take Trump down since day 1. eyeroll
Donald Trump is as the news goes quite possibly the most prolifically covered private citizen ever, in every section with the possible exception of weather, and far from all of it complimentary. If you were one of his opponents this year and you couldn’t take his public record and yours and sell the case that you were the better choice, when could you ever? If you were a senior staffer for one of those guys and you couldn’t make that case...what all is it exactly that they’re paying you for?
