PoliticusUSA: Hillary Clinton Pounces And Demands To Know Which Insults Trump Regrets

[ailsagirl]

The Hillary Clinton campaign immediately seized on Trump’s claim that he regrets using painful words during his campaign to ask for a specific list of insults that Trump regrets.

In a statement, HFA Deputy Communications Director Christina Reynolds said, “Donald Trump literally started his campaign by insulting people. He has continued to do so through each of the 428 days from then until now, without shame or regret. We learned tonight that his speechwriter and teleprompter knows he has much for which he should apologize. But that apology tonight is simply a well-written phrase until he tells us which of his many offensive, bullying and divisive comments he regrets—and changes his tune altogether.”

As a helpful resource to Trump, the Clinton campaign provided this list of 250 insults that he has spoken during the campaign.

(emphases mine)

1. She should ridicule him mercilessly for this bullshit.

Hillary can let nothing slide.

[Peregrine Took]

2. Too late for phony apologies,

Don't let him slither into a cozy Mr. Nice guy pose.

[NastyRiffraff]

47. Oh she will

This will be MADAM BADASS at her best.

I can't WAIT for the debates. If that is, Trump has the balls to debate her.

[Happyhippychick]

3. Whoever is running her campaign

is fucking brilliant

[ailsagirl]

13. I'll say!

They're on top of everything and respond before many can even react to what they're responding to!!

Reminds me of Obama's team when he was running-- they were so on top of everything!!

[tblue37]

24. Also reminds me of Bill Clinton's "War Room" rapid response operation. nt

[Wounded Bear]

14. Not to be sexist or anything...

but her husband used to be pretty good at that, too. I think Hillary has been paying attention.

[ailsagirl]

15. That's right-- Bill Clinton ran excellent campaigns...

and I'm sure she learned a lot from him.

[Johnyawl]

17. They were a team.

Then and now, working together. What he knows, she knows. You can bet he's at her side helping her, the way she helped him.

[cynzke]

28. ADDING THE LIST WAS SHEER GENIUS!

And let's put this in perspective. These wishy washy comments sounds more like an excuse/confession. Its day TWO, since Trump hired a NANNY to head his campaign, blow his nose, change his diapers. This is the NANNY at work, trying to clean up little Donnie's mess. But in the meantime, there is Donnie's history of bankruptcies, contracts and Trump You, where Donnie has SHOWN NO REMORSE WHATSOEVER about cheating people, yet NANNY thinks voters are stupid enough to OVERLOOK this by Trump issuing a half-assed, unbelievable substitute for an apology and we should believe hes sincere?

[forgotmylogin]

29. I think they geared up for this way way back

They probably expected a much more organized, intelligent opponent and have been waiting with sharpened knives to retaliate. Better to be over-prepared though. Go Hill!

[BainsBane]

35. Robby Mook

runs her campaign. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robby_Mook

He's the first openly gay manager of a major presidential campaign.

[Happyhippychick]

36. He's amazing.

[Jarqui]

4. How can he debate this list :

Beautiful response

[ailsagirl]

9. This so-called "apologetic" drumpf has opened up whole new vistas for HRC ads

Oh, the delicious possibilities!! Two hundred fifty insults need addressing!! (including insulting the lectern
in the Oval Office)

NYT

Since declaring his candidacy for president last June, Donald Trump has used Twitter to lob insults at presidential candidates, journalists, news organizations, nations, a Neil Young song and even a lectern in the Oval Office. We know this because we’ve read, tagged and quoted them all. Below, a directory of sorts, with links to the original tweets.

[Iliyah]

5. This is not T-rump, it's fake.

[niyad]

6. am going to print out this list for handy reference.

although, to be fair, have only seen four openly-admitted drumpfy supporters.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

18. Oooo, you're giving me ideas...

Print out the list, pamphlet style. When you see Ein Infanterist für die Trumpf-Armee, put it under their windshield wiper.

[liberal N proud]

8. Her campaign needs to rerun every one of them day after day.

[lewebley3]

32. Hillary needs to call for hearings on weather or not Trump is an agent for Putin

[wisteria]

10. Good.

[Cracklin Charlie]

11. That is a brilliant response!

Remind everyone that words matter.

Nicely done, Clinton!

[63splitwindow]

12. Uhhhhh- Don--- you invited the contest to be gloves off--- right? In over your head Con Man!

[AgadorSparticus]

16. This is a perfect response! Now if only the media will talk about it...

[RonLucG3]

19. Smart move by the Clinton campaign

Let's be honest, Trump isn't sorry about any of his many foolish comments. After all, he's held racist and bigoted views for decades, and is only expressing "regret" because he's being exposed in the media for the xenophobic douchebag he is. He'll NEVER actually pivot, because that would require him to fundamentally change his character, which he is completely incapable of.

[ailsagirl]

20. Well said

Anyone who thinks he's suddenly become "kinder and gentler," is definitely deluded

And welcome to DU, RonLucG3!

[MoonRiver]

27. ^^^True This^^^

Welcome to DU RonLucG3!

[uppityperson]

30. +1, I agree, repulsive, revolting, disgusting, abhorrent, objectionable, vile, foul and nasty

[DesertRat]

39. +1

[uppityperson]

40. !

[ailsagirl]

44. +100

[niyad]

31. welcome to du. and, you are absolutely correct. he will never change--only the VERY

thin veneer might be redone for a minute.

[longship]

41. Buh-bye! nt

[treestar]

45. Exactly!

He is 70 years old - he's not suddenly going to appear professional. Welcome to DU!

[Warren DeMontague]

21. Apparently not doing stuff like mocking disabled people is "the language of insiders"

even when he's doing a half-assed attempt at apologizing for being a giant dick, he's still a giant dick.

[ailsagirl]

22. Not according to the drumpf statues which have recently turned up!!

[Warren DeMontague]

23. Oh, of that I have no doubt.

I hesitate to fall back on cliches like "overcompensation" but when the dude actually threatens to sue an artist for painting him with a mini winny, well, you know she hit a nerve.

A real little one.

[wishstar]

25. Even my local ABC Sinclair news this a.m. said Trump had previously expressed "No Regrets"

Nice to hear the newscaster point out Trump's flip-flopping inconsistency in finally expressing regrets when he had previously dug in every time he was questioned about his insults.

[OnDoutside]

26. I'm delighted with that response :) On a seperate thread yesterday I called for the Campaign to

ridicule him, and that's the perfect example of showing him for the buffoon that he is.

[napkinz]

33. K&R

[neeksgeek]

34. Trumpolini has the best regrets. The best. Believe me. Nobody has better regrets than him!

[The Wizard]

37. Standard non apology qualifier

If anyone was / is offended.

[napkinz]

38. kick!

[ailsagirl]

42. I guess team drumpf is staying silent on this

Disappointing!!

[Generic Other]

43. The list is quite revealing

In every case, he "brands" each opponent using the same mocking term interspersed between every line he tweets. HRC he labels "crooked." Jeb was "weak" and Cruz a "liar." Warren is "goofy."


He stays on message inserting the term as often as possible while peppering the rest of his words with the same jingoistic phrases and insults.


That is some frightening use of language. The propaganda of advertising.

[Chemisse]

46. Excellent!

Trump has never had to suffer consequences for his words and actions his entire life. It is truly delightful to see him finally have to come face to face with the results of his own bullshit.
