Hillary shot a campaign in Reno just to watch it die

Hillary shot a campaign in Reno just to watch it die
2:35 PM - 25 Aug 2016

She burned the fucking Trump campaign to the ground and pissed on the ashes — in a remarkably ladylike fashion. Then she scooped up the piss-soaked ashes with a trowel, loaded them into a clown cannon and shot them into a toxic waste dump. Then she hopped into a fighter jet and strafed the dump. Then she took a space shuttle out of mothballs, strapped a nuclear warhead into it, flew up to the fucking International Space Station and then nuked the piss-soaked ashes of the dumped, bullet-ridden campaign from orbit.

Or maybe Clinton merely provided a succinct overview of Trump’s decades-long history of race-baiting sleaze, called him out for cultivating neo-Nazi scum supporters, excoriated him for elevating crazy people like Alex Jones and denounced him for putting white nationalist pukes in charge of his campaign. In either case, it was glorious. You can catch a replay of the speech in the thread downstairs.

Of course, his true believers will think everything she said is a plus, but the sane voter will run like hell from him.

thinking that Trump could have possibly become the presidential candidate of one of the two major political parties; but, when I look at the polls (Sam Wang, 538, RCP, etc,) I am proud of the majority of my countrymen/women. We won't let this unhinged, lunatic fringe win!

he's got brass ones, accusing Hill of doing what he's been doing for the last year. But he doesn't have Roves subtlety or deft touch.

He stood in front of the TV as a few of us were watching quietly—reading captions because the volume was down.

Hillary was going through Trump's lies and racist views one by one.

The RW senior began to walk away, but stopped at another senior who was watching and said, "You can always tell when she's lying: her lips are moving."

The other senior looked right through him to the TV.

The RW guy finally walked away.

It's funny, because their party is in shambles. All he was able to say was a silly, childish joke—and he had to throw out there because their candidate is an even better joke.
