Fux Noise: Clinton attack featuring Miss Universe was months in the making, email shows

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Clinton campaign’s recent attacks on Donald Trump for his comments about a beauty queen’s weight problems were months in the making, according to an opposition research report uncovered in emails released by WikiLeaks on Sunday.

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton invoked those comments during the first presidential debate on Sept. 26. Near the end of the showdown, during a sustained riff about the Republican nominee's past remarks about women, Clinton cited the case of Miss Universe 1996 Alicia Machado.

“And one of the worst things he said was about a woman in a beauty contest,” Clinton said. “He loves beauty contests, supporting them and hanging around them. And he called this woman ‘Miss Piggy.’ Then he called her ‘Miss Housekeeping,’ because she was Latina. Donald, she has a name.”

Trump responded: “Where did you find this?”

Anyone other than JPR feel Wiki-Leaks is an ethical group?

1. Kind of dumb for them to hold onto the information

If they had released it earlier Trump could've prepared for the attacks before the debates and they wouldn't have stung so bad.

[grossproffit]

33. HAHA!

[Cakes488]

2. This is whistle blowing? #WikiLeaksShit

[BainsBane]

3. The point is she successfully baited him

and he fell for it. In fact, I bet they never dreamed he would accommodate them to that extent.

[Qutzupalotl]

4. Sure was effective!

Threw Trump right off his game, and he was already having a bad night.

[stopbush]

6. Yep. That's how it's done.

All the Wikileak shows is that the Clinton campaign knows what they're doing.

[underpants]

7. Caught him absolutely flat footed

I've never seen a candidate begging for information from his opponent.

[underpants]

5. OMG they prepared?!?!!?

A real campaign does opposition research on the other side and continues to do so on their candidate as well. Hillary's campaign is amazing. The Obama campaigns were considered light years ahead of those that it followed but she has been able to surpass his campaigns.

[canetoad]

8. +1 Beat me to it

That's called research and preparation. HRC's team did it, Trump's did not.

[underpants]

14. +1. This is a weak attempt to turn a strength into a weakness

Really the Rove playbook.

The reporter on this video (name?) and Catherine Herridge are Fox News' reporters who introduce wild stories to be expanded upon by the rest of the network.

9. assange is like the unibomber. Like the unibomber he feels he is uniquely qualified to make

judgements and try to exact revenge for "crimes against humanity" as he sees it. ONe way in which he beats the Unibomber in self righteousness is that he extends his self anointed authority to whole countries of which he isn't even a citizen. He has anointed himself the cyber-Pope - with infallibility.

[underpants]

12. Intersting comparison. The Unabomber couldn't self promote

Due both to the criminality and because, as a Luddite, he hated technology.

[skylucy]

10. Duh. No kidding. I figured that out the day after the first debate. Ya know what I

thought? Wow. Hillary's campaign has their act together. Great, well organized campaign that knows how to show the voters what an asshole Trump is.

[Madam45for2923]

11. ...and so?

[NurseJackie]

13. Hillary can do ANYTHING!! She's going to be a GREAT President!

[yallerdawg]

15. I thought she'd run across it at a grocery checkout lane.

The way Trump gets his campaign facts.

"It's rigged!"

Hillary has a campaign staff that does opposition research!

If Russian hackers are to be believed.

[Control-Z]

16. Oooooh. Bad Hillary.

That mean Hillary and her campaign staff. They found out the truth about Trump and told everyone. Not fair. Not fair. And they've spent more money on her television ads. Motor-mouth Kelly thinks they had an unfair advantage in doing that. Oh boo-fucking-hoo. (Sorry about the language. Kind of.)

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

17. No offense taken

[Control-Z]

23. ...

[JI7]

18. so what ?

[Rstrstx]

20. Hmmm, so when will Wikileaks get around to releasing the Clinton camp's dirt on Trump?

We'll be standing by

[anneboleyn]

21. Trump's comments were made years ago, and it is somehow Clinton's fault. Again.

This is his team looking stupid since his comments were out there for years. Did they do ANY PREP ON THEIR OWN CANDIDATE? Trump himself made the comments and should have been able to explain his own stupid comments.

[anamandujano]

22. tRump's attacks on Bill Clinton were 30 years in the making.

Too bad they relied on stale scandals.

[anneboleyn]

24. I AM OUTRAGED THAT CLINTON PREPARED FOR THE DEBATES!!!

[jcgoldie]

26. I know right

Planning ahead... how two faced... I want a president who just says whatever the fuck spontaneously!

[shenmue]

27. Yeah dammit

[jcgoldie]

25. Didn't she actually bring up Machado in her convention speech?

I could have sworn she had mentioned it before that debate when Trump seemed to be blindsided.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

28. The only people who give a shit about those stupid emails are Trump supporters

Honestly, no one cares. I am a political junkie. I freaking LOVE knowing stuff relating to politics and elections. And you know what? I don't goddamned care about the emails. I don't even read my own damn emails because my mail box fills up with crap I have no intention of reading.

Everytime I hear "email" on the news I zone out because I don't freaking care about it and I don't want to hear about it anymore. I don't want to hear about Benghazi anymore. Republicans have beat these two issues so far into the ground they are half way to China.

[stevenleser]

29. To Paraphrase Hillary, what Trump and Republicans think is an unfair tactic or advantage...

I say, yes it is, it's called preparation.

[NCTraveler]

30. I see no problem.

Clinton started running GE ads a month before the primary was over. Of course they were game planning Trump. It's on of Clintons greatest strengths and something most of us love about her. She shows up to the game fully prepared.

[grossproffit]

31. Brilliant that they were able to keep it a secret. Loose lips sink ships.

[prarie deem]

32. So their big reveal is

that the HRC campaign correctly read the Repug debates and prepared to fight that opponent? Shocking I tell you. Imagine - being prepared for your campaign - what will they do next? Try and win Congress, make laws, govern the country? I feel an attack of the vapors coming on.

Jesus - I would call these idiots douches but since they aren't smart enough to spell, they wouldn't know what I meant.

[Grassy Knoll]

34. Right Fucking On...

He'd do the same thing, Fuck Trump.

[wishstar]

35. We already knew this, that Alicia Machado was on board, had prepared special video etc.

Quite deliciously ironic that Trump and his campaign were caught offguard even though Wikileaks had the information that could have tipped them off but didn't release until yesterday.

Kudos to Clinton campaign for identifying and exposing his Achilles Heel causing him to fall into the trap because he cannot help but be a misogynist insulting jerk who mistreats women. Even so, Hillary and her campaign were probably surprised that he self-destructed for an entire week after Hillary baited him.
