Trump Gave Clinton Ammunition for Future Attacks

"SNIP...............
BuzzFeed: Each time Hillary Clinton baited him, Trump reacted, resulting in a series of Trumpian moments that are sure to give the Democrats fresh ammunition against him with just a few weeks to go before Election Day.
When Clinton said hed wanted to take advantage of the real estate crisis, he said that was called business, by the way. He wouldnt say if Russia is responsible for hacking Democratic email systems, instead raising the specter of a hypothetical 400-pound hacker. He said not paying federal income taxes makes me smart. He defended not paying contractors who have worked on his properties. He rekindled a feud with Rosie ODonnell, whose appearance he has insulted, saying she deserves it. And he defended his long-running questioning of President Obamas birthplace, arguing that he actually cleared up the controversy by getting Obama to release his birth certificate.
Trump, in other words, handed reinforcements to the Clinton campaign in several different areas: foreign policy, Trumps treatment of women, his business dealings, and to what extent he pays taxes. Democrats in the post-debate spin room were openly celebrating the material Trump had handed them for future attack ads.

(58,670 posts)I've been hoping for a shift of emphasis on the ads, from attacking Trump to more positive ads about Clinton's policies and character strengths.
But Trump has put so much fodder out there for the grist mill, I can understand why they don't pivot on this one, I guess.
We were saying this all during the primaries. Hell, the ads write themselves, just put some clips together of him saying outrageous shit. The Trumplodytes are probably wondering why anybody likes the ads, since they are basically things they like about him. Sick fuckers, those Trump supporters.
