(30,481 posts)It is a dream to go into the general against a candidate who has been vetted in no way.
I can imagine the ads against Trump. There is so much to work with.. not sure where to start!

(30,481 posts)Explaining how she learned of their financial hardships from her father are going to be great.
"I was leaving Trump Tower with daddy when we saw a homeless man resting against our building. Daddy told me he had eight billion more than we did."
That is paraphrasing but is very close to word for word.

(24,689 posts)Hillary's team is going to need to get ready for the vile trash that is going to come out of this man's mouth. He is liable to say anything.

(30,244 posts)I may not have liked the Republican nominees of the past, but this is the first time that they are about to nominate a person who is totally unfit for office. That's why party leaders are having heartburn behind the scenes, it's not just the possibility that they'll lose the WH for a third term in a row, it's that they realize that Trump is unfit for the job of president and they feel impotent to stop him.

(24,689 posts)They are about to nominate a vile, ignorant, racist, sexist, megalomaniac for the highest office in the world. Trump could be America's first dictator. Its frightening.
