and the HRC crowd cried like he stole their lollipop.

Trump will have no such reservations about tearing into her record. And he vp an buy and sell her & her campaign ten times over.

She may still win, and if I had to bet I'd say she would (although Bernie would CRUSH Trump). But the overconfidence of the HRC fanboys/fangirls here on DU better not take hold within Team Clinton or they'll get beat by an asshole who SHOULD have no business even being the GOP nominee. But everyone who has doubted that SOB has been wrong.

Proceed with caution...
