Hillary Tweetstorm Over Trump's Latest Press Ploy: "What Trump just did is a disgrace."

Hillary Clinton ?@HillaryClinton 1h1 hour ago
What Trump just did is a disgrace.


Hillary Clinton ?@HillaryClinton 1h1 hour ago
What Trump should do: for once in his life, own up to his mistakes. Apologize to the President, and to the American people.


Hillary Clinton ?@HillaryClinton 1h1 hour ago
Trump’s birtherism stems from the same innate beliefs that led to discriminating against black tenants early in his career. Can't be undone.


Hillary Clinton ?@HillaryClinton 1h1 hour ago
The birther lie is what turned Trump from an ordinary reality TV star into a political figure. That origin story can't be unwritten.


Hillary Clinton ?@HillaryClinton 1h1 hour ago
Trump has spent years peddling a racist conspiracy aimed at undermining the first African American president. He can't just take it back.


Hillary Clinton ?@HillaryClinton 1h1 hour ago
This shouldn't have to be said: You don’t just get to say someone else did the worst things you’ve done. It doesn’t work. No one buys it.


Hillary Clinton ?@HillaryClinton 1h1 hour ago
Again, Trump turns his faults on others. Psychologists call it "projecting." Kids call it "I'm rubber, you're glue."


Hillary Clinton ?@HillaryClinton 1h1 hour ago
When Trump tries to deflect blame for denying that @POTUS was born in America, he is lying. http://bit.ly/1Vbp2LJ




Hillary Clinton ?@HillaryClinton 1h1 hour ago
Leading the birther movement is deplorable. Attempting to say it "did a great service" to the president who Trump attacked is asinine.


Hillary Clinton ?@HillaryClinton 1h1 hour ago
Expressing zero regret for years of pushing a racist conspiracy theory, Trump again appointed himself judge & jury on @POTUS's citizenship.

HRC needs a new campaign manager. Someone who will keep her from taking the bait trump keeps throwing out. She need not accept every invitation to a Did, Did not, Did argument trump offers.

She is running for president, please start addressing the issues

Economy
Climate Change
Foreign Policy
National Security
Healthcare
Social Security

These are just a few things that are much more important than rebutting every lie trumps makes...stop letting trump drive the narrative. Hillary is an increadible smart lady and well informed on issues and one of the most qualified persons we have had run for President in a very long time. She needs to start showing that.

6. Thank you for your concern. This is a campaign. You play whack-a-mole at times.

She's not 'letting him drive the narrative.' She's been taking a few days off, like the media said she should have, and now she has, the media is asking if she's really healthy....

People who are not on twitter are seeing that she is talking about issues:

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/16/us/politics/hillary-clinton-presidential-race.html

“From now until Nov. 8, everywhere I go I’m going to talk about my ideas for our country,” Mrs. Clinton told reporters on Thursday in Greensboro, N.C., as she returned to the campaign trail for the first time since revealing she had pneumonia after nearly collapsing Sunday at a Sept. 11 memorial event.

At the same time, the Clinton campaign will try to more directly address the pocketbook concerns of blue-collar voters, particularly in Rust Belt states, where Mr. Trump has appeal."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trump cannot let an insult go by. His weak point is that he will immediately lash out, and let that be his narrative for days. See also his twitter wars with Elizabeth Warren - Hillary needs to call him out on her lies about her, and he did that when he accused her of birtherism. She cannot let his lies go unanswered, because they are taking up the oxygen in the news cycle.

Someone's gotta do it.

I'm am certain that Hillary wishes someone else would take a turn.

will believe the lies.
It happened with the myth of voter fraud.
It happened with the birtherism.
Lies must be smacked down. Don't fret, I think Madame Secretary can multitask.

if one of the two parties or candidates seem to care about it. It isn't the sole factor but definitely carries a lot of weight. So she should absolutely weigh in about what is lacking in Trump's response. He should apologize and it is offensive that he acts like he did done everyone a favor.

This was no apology to President Obama ... and he owes one to the President and the American people for what he has said. After all we all are pretty good at reading Trump's body language and that bright red face totally indicated he was not sincere.
