People have been living a suffering-free life for so long that learning the truth offends them to revulsion.

She will absolutely attack him in debates. He's really good at deflecting though, so we'll have to see how well it works.

Also, i would think her being female makes his aggressive tactics less effective. If he's as rude/patronizing to her as he has been to the other candidates it might just come across as mean or disrespectful.

I just wonder how much she will bring up his stupid comments on people vs his stupid comments on policy.



This will definitely happen.

I think she will bring up the former more, because Trump talks about people far more than policy.

I imagine they're going to construct the over-arching narrative and then trot out piece after piece that reinforces it so that he uses up all his energy and what little credibility might be granted to him by the press that wants a race swatting away the opening fire. It's gonna be similar to what you saw in 2012 when Obama et al. started with Romney's taxes in the spring, then Bain/outsourcing in the summer, 47%/Ryan budget/GOP agenda in the fall so that by the end they had defined Mitt Romney and completely destroyed his entire rationale for running. The "Mr. Fix It for the economy" was a sham to the key voters. They layered in other things too depending on what Romney gave them with all his gaffes and flip-flops and stuff but Joel Beneson and company had figured out early on in 2011 that the election was going to come down to economic fairness and they ruined Romney with the voters.

I think Clinton's argument will be very straightforward: Trump is manifestly unqualified to be president. He's either totally wrong or nonexistent on policy (mountain of evidence), he fucks over the working man (two mountains), and he's tricked people into thinking he "tells it like it is" but he lies in circles (entire mountain range). He's a snake oil salesman who literally tried to hawk dietary supplements. He's dangerous and you can't trust him with the nuclear codes (Trump University), and on and on and on...

so from what i understand trump needs 60% of the delegates to win the nomination outright

some1 can use my sig if they want
whoever edited out "united states of china" lol

He needs 50%+1 of the delegate total, meaning 1,237 delegates. He currently has about 48% of the delegates, and needs to win 53% of the remaining delegates to succeed on a first ballot vote.

Should be easier now that mostly winner-take-all primary states are left.
