Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook said Tuesday that he thinks Donald Trump’s campaign now seems “a bit panicked” because of the GOP presidential nominee’s bad last week, which included the recent revelation that he declared a loss of nearly a billion dollars in his 1995 tax returns, as well as an early-morning Twitter attack on a former Miss Universe.

In an interview on “CBS This Morning,” Mook was asked how Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine will break through at the debate against his opponent Mike Pence Tuesday night.

“I think the Trump campaign is a bit panicked right now,” he said. “They need to change the narrative, they need to change the message, they’ve had a bad week so we’re expecting them to throw a lot of mud. It’s going to be very interesting to see how Mike Pence responds to questions about Trump’s behavior in the last week.”

Mook wondered if Pence would defend Trump’s 5 a.m. tweets about former Miss Universe Alicia Machado -- in which he called her “disgusting,” and urged Twitter users to “check out [her] sex tape” -- and the new revelations by the New York Times that he might have avoided paying income taxes for up to 18 years.

1. Oooo, they should ask Pence if the Trump campaign said he could run the government if elected!

Just like Governor Kasich was told in the primaries!

[William Seger]

2. No, just foreign and domestic policy

... Donald will handle intergalactic policy himself.

[icymist]

5. Well, he does have the hair for it.

Come to think of it, he even has enough money to go to Mars!





Well, I can dream, can't I?

3. Has Pence seen the sex tape?

What'd he think? Did he and Donald watch together?

[William Seger]

4. Well, it'll be town hall format

... not behind a podium, so maybe we'll know when it comes up.

6. That would understandably so. They have nothing good left to say.

Their whole argument all along has been 'not Hillary.' But their alternative answer for anyone willing to listen to them is far far worse than anything they've imagined about Hillary. Then there was Hillary's utter destruction of 30 years of tearing her down. It took her 20 minutes to do that and 70 to lay out what she's for and been fighting for all her life.

Love
Trumps
Hate.

They've got nothing left in their tanks.

7. Not even an off hand mention of the illegal charity, Trump Foundation.

If raising money for a Charity that doesn't even exist isn't illegal, what is the meaning of the term? Instead CBS is worried about a guy playing by the weird IRS rules developed over decades by paid off politicians and talk of beauty contestants. By the way, why is it that Miss Universe is always from planet Earth?

8. They need to focus on Pence also please

His disdain for the LGBT community, a woman's right to medical privacy, and his xenophobia for starters.

[Midnight Writer]

9. Time for the Clinton campaign to shift focus.

If anybody is still not convinced that Trump hasn't got the basic humanity needed to be the President of the whole f'ing USA, then they will never be convinced.

Now is the time for Hillary to dazzle them with policy.

For crying out loud, the Republican and Trump's platform is;

1) Tax cuts for rich and corporations, even though Donald is telling everyone that the rich and corporations already pay zero tax

2) Reforms (cuts) to Social Security and Medicare

3) Less rights for workers, voters, minorities

4) Less government regulation, such as eliminating the Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Parks system, the National Labor Relations Board, and anything else that protects the little guys from the big guys.

Clinton should simply go down the list of items in the Republican Party Platform, and force Trump to defend them.
