Oh we know you can, DT. It isn't even a contest. You are the world champion in nastiness.

Can he hear himself? Apparently not.



ON EDIT: CNN has now posted an article headlined with the same sentence from the NYTimes interview. It's a keeper!


http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/01/us/politics/donald-trump-interview-bill-hillary-clinton.html

He said he was bringing up Mr. Clinton’s infidelities because he thought they would repulse female voters and turn them away from the Clintons, and because he was eager to unsettle Mrs. Clinton in their next two debates and on the campaign trail.

“She’s nasty, but I can be nastier than she ever can be,” Mr. Trump said.

Trump on Clinton: 'I can be nastier than she ever can be'

Washington (CNN)Donald Trump is turning up the heat on his attacks against Hillary Clinton about her husband's past infidelities after a rocky week for his campaign.

"She's nasty," Trump told The New York Times in an interview published Friday night, "but I can be nastier than she ever can be."

The comments were part of a wide ranging interview in which Trump also touched upon his marriages, his recent late-night Twitter rant and his performance at the first presidential debate.

1. Oh Oh

Donald has just been caught telling the truth for once.

[Coyotl]

10. Bullshit. Hillary is not nasty. That is another Trump lie. Call him on the lies.

Hillary is a champion for progressive values, a great and caring woman focused on children and a better future, she is NOT nasty. She is a brilliant person who has no trouble dealing with a huge asshole, but that's not nastiness, that's just taking out the garbage.

[Renew Deal]

2. Hillary EV total is going up as we speak

[Thinkingabout]

3. Don't know what Trump is a candidate, Hillary is a candidate for President of

The USA.

[randome]

16. Oh, don't play coy: you know Trump is a candidate for a rubber room.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]The truth doesn’t always set you free.
Sometimes it builds a bigger cage around the one you’re already in.[/center][/font][hr]

[Thinkingabout]

19. Or he has a yyyuuuugggeee facility full of his rubber room voters

[Iliyah]

4. This man is pure angry about his hurt feelings

Attacking women must be gratifying.

[underpants]

5. Town halls don't lend themselves to aggression

#2 is a town hall

[tammywammy]

6. Hillary is good at one on one with people

Hes going to fail miserably at the townhall.

[NastyRiffraff]

33. And it should be VERY interesting!

Trump seems to think he's talking to his basket of deplorables when now the general electorate is paying attention. That audience won't be made up of only his toxic base. I can't wait until he lets loose on one of the audience members. His skin is so thin that I don't think he'll be able to stop himself if a question is perceived as challenging.

[Greywing]

7. Honest to God ... how can he get any nastier?

He is the most repulsive creature, ever!

[calguy]

8. He's playing his last Trump Card

Not much left after that. He's shot his whole wad and Hillary will be laughing big time. I'm sure the campaign has a very good response.

[ScienceIsGood]

9. It is scary that that fool has 40% of the vote. What is wrong with people?

[ColemanMaskell]

18. Remember the bit about 50% of people being stupider than average - -

But even if you do more reasonable math with standard deviations you still have a chunk of people that are on the dumb side of average. Add to that the fact that they listen to Fox News or don't follow the news at all.
- - Plus, don't be fooled into assuming that people make decisions using rational thought processes; Usually people make decisions based primarily on emotional reactions and then use the thinking part of their brain to conjure up a justification after the fact, to rationalize the decision they made emotionally.
. . . So moving on to your question proper, What is wrong with people [Trump voters]?
. . . Clearly they are being motivated by emotions that are, to use your word, scary. Misogyny is a big motivator this time out. Racism and Xenophobia are up there. Fear in its myriad forms.

However, if you want to have some fun reading on the subject, check out the article at this link:

21. Really Interesting! Thanks for the links!

[moonscape]

35. Thanks for these. I have been struggling with how this

could have happened, is happening, and these pieces help somewhat.

[uppityperson]

11. Does he ever listen to himself?

[pnwmom]

12. He only listens to himself. And everything he hears is golden. n/t

[Arkana]

13. Four words:

Please proceed, Mister Trump.

[sheshe2]

14. Donnie?

You know what repulses female voters? You do.

[Monk06]

15. Hillary will smile and shoulder shimmy during his complete and public meltdown

This is rolling out to be epic

[True_Blue]

17. He's right. He's much much nastier

Hillary could easily stoop to his level and hit back with Marla Maples, but he knows she won't do that because she's above that.

[Fast Walker 52]

20. I honestly think he's losing his mind-- that NYT interview is freaking deranged

[ScienceIsGood]

22. He is nuts! Seriously! Like a angry teenager. nt

[greymattermom]

23. so, just curious, are there things you can't say on tv at the town hall?

If he goes all potty mouth, will they have to cut the microphone? It's not Howard Stern, after all. Children may be watching.

[Grammy23]

24. In some ways, Trump has been building the momentum to attempt this Presidential bid

for his entire life. He has been calculating when to make a serious run and very likely thought (thinks) that he deserves it and will essentially be coronated on January 21st. I believe he really thinks he is going to bring about historic changes to the United States and enshrine his place in history.

The problem is that he feels thwarted in his efforts. He is finding out that this whole endeavor is difficult and hard work. In addition, the reality is not all of us love him and not enough of us will vote for him in order for him to win. His campaign people are telling him he is going to lose if he doesn't turn things around ASAP. He is running out of time to do this.

What we are witnessing is Trump flailing around desperately trying to get the polling back in his favor. He is having a narcissist's worst nightmare....he is being mocked, is dropping in the polls and was humiliated with his poor performance at debate #1. For the remainder of this campaign, I think we will see more of this outrageous behavior by Trump, all played out on the national ...yes, even international stage. It is historic...probably like nothing ever seen in this country. Our only hope is that the sane, rational people in the country will rise up to reject this deeply flawed, dangerous man. His supporters will hang in to the bitter end, but fortunately there are more of us than there are of them. Get out to vote like everything you hold dear is at stake...because it is!

[Adrahil]

25. And...

[unblock]

26. he literally has the emotional maturity of a child.

it's comical.

well, after he loses we can say it's comical.

no offense to children....

[Cracklin Charlie]

27. He's already there.

Please proceed, Assface.

Make sure the whole world is exposed to your nastiness.

Then you can spend the rest of your nasty life all alone in your tower.

To the pain!

[beachbumbob]

28. Trump keeps proving everyone right he lacks the fitness and

Temperament to be president...it's not a matter on how nasty one can be but how humble with humility one can be...

[maryellen99]

29. He also denying that he cheated on his wives

He now claims that he only starting dating Marla Maples after the divorce proceedings started. ROFLMAO.

[Blue Idaho]

30. That must be why the media reported it as an affair. Nt.

[maryellen99]

31. He's such a freaking idiot nt

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

32. Staff to Trump: No tweeting! And NO TALKING either.

[Orsino]

34. You frighten a coward, he will take the low road.

By forcing Trump to compete out in the real world, we've removed him from his comfort zone, where he never had to develop strength or courage.

It shows.

[liberalla]

36. Like millions of voters are undecided because he's not nasty enough?
