Hillary Clinton Struggles to Find Footing in Unusual Race (panicked bedwetting in Hillary's camp)

But early optimism that this would be an easy race is evaporating.

...snip....

“The guy’s a maniac,” John Burton, the chairman of the California Democratic Party, said about Mr. Trump.

...snip....

But it is the campaign’s approach to Mr. Trump that is making even Mrs. Clinton’s most loyal supporters uneasy.

Senator Chuck Schumer of New York is concerned that she lacks a comprehensive strategy to confront Mr. Trump, and has told Democrats that the Clinton campaign must bring on a senior staff member dedicated only to the Trump portfolio.

“As soon as she clinches the nomination, we need a high-level person in the campaign whose sole job is to respond to Trump, almost on an hourly basis,” said Mr. Schumer, who has begun conversations with Clinton officials about who could fill that role.

...snip....

Debates have broken out in Mrs. Clinton’s Brooklyn headquarters over the best approach to take.

...snip....

“Sometimes, you get the feeling that they’re in a professional boxing match and he’s in a street fight, and they’re coming in with their gloves on,” said the Rev. Al Sharpton, expressing dismay over the Clinton operation’s apparent lack of appetite for combat.

“This is a street fight with a guy with a razor and a broken Coca-Cola bottle,” he added, “and you’ve got to fight him like that.”

....snip...

For now, her aides appear to be throwing ideas against a wall to see what sticks, including trying out different monikers after the Democratic National Committee’s “Dangerous Donald” flopped. An internal favorite is “Poor Donald,” with its implication that Mr. Trump, famously defensive about his net worth, is not nearly as wealthy as he lets on.

...snip...

“It wouldn’t be a general election without some early bed-wetting from Washington insiders,” said Robby Mook, Mrs. Clinton’s campaign manager.

Best election of my lifetime. Even better than 1968.

If social media is a good barometer in the comments sections of various news articles across the spectrum of outlets it seems Hellary usually gets a pretty good beat down from most of the posters.

I did a better job of excerpting. That other post’s excerpt was crappily done.

She’s already run thru 7 different campaign slogans, has put out a series of ads that if you didn’t know they were put out by her campaign or PAC, you’d think that they were ads FOR TRUMP. She’s still struggling to draw any kind of real crowd. The other day when well over 10,000 showed up to see Trump, she was enjoying waffles with about 50 people. Her 18 point lead in March has evaporated. Her emails are coming back to bite her in the a$$, and it looks like that will continue, and the likelihood of the FBI recommending indictment looks better now that the IG report has come out. She still hasn’t been able to fend off a rather anemic 74 year old socialist, and will likely lose California to him.

The latest poll out of OREGON of all places has Trump leading by 2.1 percentage points.

I’d going to bet that her campaign will be in free-fall by the end of June.

Her campaign team looks and sounds like the mess that it was eight years ago. I attribute this to making a lot of promises to a lot of people over the years who expect to have their checks cashed. With that being said, it may actually be much worse than eight years ago.

The greatest would be a huge riot in Philly with the only option a write in vote for Bernie. Let him soak up 15% of the downballots as well. Democrat decimation.

Bizarre, isn’t it?

Romney (with a small fraction of Trump’s net worth) was deemed too wealthy to understand the average man. Now, we’re supposed to opposed to Trump, because he’s not rich enough. Of course, Clinton is now too rich to play the “too rich” card on Trump.

“Poor Donald” reminds people Hillary is rich and made millions giving secret Wall Street speeches. Also, Jesus loves poor people.

“Crooked Hillary” is a good nickname but I still prefer the simpler “Shrillary”... heh heh

Hey, Tommy Lee Jones supports Hillary, right? Just call on him everyday to go on the networks and do his thing.

I attribute it to her being the worst candidate imaginable in every aspect. She just sucks. Even her voice, it is like the demons of Hell trying to do Chewbacca. The closest thing to real life witch crossed with your exwife. She just sucks.

The whole thing is absolutely hysterically funny! :-)

Hillary has ALWAYS been a fraud and Romney has ALWAYS been rather weird.

Trump is genuine, REAL, doesn't do things solely for photo-ops and isn't afraid of the damned "THOUGHT POLICE"/PC. Nor is he an "ELITIST", which Obama,Hillary, Romney, and oh so many more are.

Trump is just a "normal" person, even though he has money, power, and fame. This speaks volumes ! Most Americans, no matter what their party affiliation has been, are sick to death of the FRAUDS and the LIES!
