Trump Already Going for the Jugular

Trump Already Going for the Jugular

If the Clintons don’t know what they’re up against in Donald Trump, a new ad put out by the Republican this week should be enough to clear up any lasting confusion. In the short, online ad, the tearful words of Bill Clinton rape victim Juanita Broaddrick are played over a sinister photo of the cigar-smoking president.

“He starts to bite on my top lip and I try to pull away from him,” Broaddrick says in voice-over taken from a 1999 NBC Dateline interview.

The ad then plays Hillary’s chilling cackle while the words “Here we go again?” are imposed over the background. The ad finishes with the usual Trump for President logo.

Can you say…we’re just getting started?

This is going to be an election like none other, and it’s already obvious that Hillary Clinton is out of her depth. Trump is going to show her the true meaning of a “vast right wing conspiracy.” He’s not going to hold anything back, and he’s already proven to be a master of controlling the narrative. He systematically found the weak spots in each one of his serious primary challengers, re-framed the public’s view of these contenders with a nickname or two, and steamrolled over them on his way to the nomination.

And yet the media thinks he’ll be unable to do it again.

Their confidence is remarkable, considering that Trump is headed into one of his weakest challenges yet. You can’t even compare Hillary Clinton to Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, or Ted Cruz. These are men of principle, honor, and integrity. People who respect the common values of most Americans. People without a laundry list of scandals, accusations, and greed comprising their histories. They weren’t right for the Republican nomination at this time, in this year, but they are all far better presidential prospects than Hillary.

Granted, the electoral map, by default, is greatly in favor of the Democrat nominee. So even though Trump is up against a fatally-flawed candidate, he’s going to need every trick in the book to emerge victorious.

Thankfully, this ad proves that he will indeed use those tricks.

As for Broaddrick, the new ad doesn’t even get to the worst of it. After describing how Clinton – then an Arkansas gubernatorial candidate – took advantage of her, Broaddrick went on to talk about how Hillary treated her at an event several weeks later.

“She grabbed a hold of my arm and my hand, and she pulled me close to her, I think so no one else could hear, and said to me very sternly with a frown on her face, ‘Do you understand everything you do for Bill?'” Broaddrick said in an interview with a Boston radio station. “It shocked me. I got my hand from hers and my two friends and I left immediately.”

Once this stuff really starts churning around in the zeitgeist, women are going to realize there’s a big difference between Trump’s off-color insults and the threats, sexual assaults, and intimidation the Clintons have subjected women to for nearly 40 years. If she’s a feminist, then feminism is the last thing women need.

Thank You, Donald Trump!

"Ugly Betty" takes up activism and scolds  Trump for standing up for the Latinos who have waited patiently in line to become American citizens. Did Andrea come here illegally? If she did, the is promoting Latino illegal activity, which proves Trump's point. If not, she is discriminating against her own people who have made it clear that it is unfair for illegals to break in line ahead of the system. Consequently, here is yet another Latino who believes that American laws are made to be broken and another reason why Donald Trump is speaking out against law breakers. 

Thank You, Donald Trump!

Dear Donald,

You've said some pretty offensive things about Latino immigrants recently, and I think they're worth addressing. Because, you know, this is the United States of America, where I have a right to speak up even if I'm not a billionaire. Isn't that awesome?

Anyway, I heard what you said about the kind of people you think Latino immigrants are -- people with problems, who bring drugs, crime and rape to America. While your comments are incredibly ignorant and racist, I don't want to spend my time chastising you. I'll leave that to your business partners like Univision and NBC, who have the power to scold you where it hurts. Instead, I'm writing to say thank you!

You see, what you just did with your straight talk was send more Latino voters to the polls than several registration rallies combined! Thank you for that. Here we are pounding the pavement to get American Latinos to the polls, while your tactic proves most effective. Remarks like yours will serve brilliantly to energize Latino voters and increase turnout on election day against you and any other candidate who runs on a platform of hateful rhetoric.

Do you know why that's such a big deal, Donald? Because Latinos are the largest, youngest and fastest-growing constituency in the United States of America. That's right! You are running for President in a country where the Latino population grew by over 49 percent from 2000-2012, while the rest of the country grew by 5.8 percent. What's more, we are the future. The median age of the average Latino is 27 years old, compared to 42 years old for white Americans. In case you need a translation, that means there are a whole lot of Americans who are Latino and have the right to vote. And, we're not going anywhere.

This is the America we are actually living in. I hope by now you understand that without the Latino vote, there is no chance of you ever winning this election. If you don't believe me, you could ask President Bush or you could even ask President Obama.

You, Mr. Trump, are living in an outdated fantasy of a bigoted America. Last week, America celebrated some amazing milestones -- marriage equality, universal healthcare, removing of the confederate flag -- making it clear in which direction the country is moving. That is why racist remarks that play to extremists won't change the tide, no matter how hard you try. They will only serve to rally more Latino voters to the polls. Your negativity and your poorly thought out speech ignited a fire in our community. Thank you, Mr. Trump!

Thank you for reminding us that there remains an antiquated and endangered species of bigots in this country that we must continue to combat. Thank you for reminding us to not sit complacently at home on election day, but to run to the polls and proclaim that there is no place for your brand of racial politicking in our government. Thank you for sending out the rallying cry.

You have made your thoughts on the Latino community clear and you continue to stand by them. And in return, we will do more than tweet about our indignation and beat piƱatas of your likeness. We will silence you at the polls. We will vote and use our growing position in U.S. politics. Our fellow Americans who understand and value our contributions will join us. We know there is nothing that scares you more.

The truth is, Mr. Trump, that your comments mean that you fail to see that immigrants are what have made this nation. They are at the core of our ideals, and they are the foundation that keeps us afloat. No, Mr. Trump, you may not reduce us to drug dealers and rapists. We are moms and dads, sons and daughters. We are valedictorians and honor students. We are college graduates, bankers, police officers, entertainers, teachers, journalists, politicians and we are the future of America.

Thank you for helping us in our work to energize the Latino vote and to usher in our shared future! Keep it up!

Sincerely,

America
