Trump and Hillary attack each other on their treatement of women.

I watched Hillary momentarily on television and I don't even know what channel it was, but I thought, give it a listen. She said, "Now I don't want to run a campaign of attacks, I want to discuss policy." Applause. "The American people deserve better than simple attacks back and forth, that needs to stop." Applause. She has a group of supporters with signs behind her on the dais, and an unseen crowd applauds between each prepared line. I cut her off. Then returned. "He attacked Megyn Kelly, he speak poorly about women on Howard Stern, Trump is ridiculous, not serious, he does nothing but attack..." She lodged several attacks on Trump's character and decried Trump always attacking and complained that's not the thing to do. She flatly and directly attacks and decries his constant attacking that shows his bad character. She has it both ways

Good luck with stopping that.

Who do you think will win that one?

Here is a video of Trump's last campaign speech at Eugene Oregon. He says all the same things as before with the only thing new is new people attached to his campaign, more heavyweight supporters and these fresh attacks from Hillary and fresh attacks on Hillary. Fresh to his campaign, not fresh to anything else. He covers all the attacks he knows are coming. They're arrived. There is only so much juice she can squeeze from them. He defends in the video and returns much harder attacks. There are two good places in the video, one near the beginning and another near the end and those together he covers what we've already discussed. He let's Hillary have it. And this is just beginning. Hillary Clinton describes Trump as disregardful of women and there is plenty of ammunition for her there in Trump's past, while Trump describes her as enabling her raping husband and with plenty more ammunition behind all that. Neither one is going to hold back.



I almost feel bad. Because this can be viewed as disregardful of women. I'm showing what I think Trump intends to do. I think he will do whatever it takes and it will take this. 

The thing is, she keeps getting back up. 

The source pic for the tractor and background is a Wisconsin tractor parade, and it's a beautiful thing to behold. It says, Lancaster, Stitzer, Preston, Fennimore WI. And there are a thousand tractors in a line.

Now for something else entirely.

As I was making dinner and all this was roiling my mind, pop, I was suddenly transported to my first weeks of work at the Federal Reserve Bank. Something emotional matches. An image opened of my first boss there, of him chugging down the long corridor with his gnawed pipe in his mouth and wearing his cowboy boots racing across polished stone floors. Old school, nose to the grindstone type. One day he slipped and fell right in front of us and he took a classic cartoon fall. Hilarious were it not so critical. His whole body went stiff and he spun in the air hitting his head, CRACK, loud enough to call all our attention louder than machines operating in the room. Right in front of a phalanx of clerks at their desks each with their ridiculous huge and fascinatingly antique adding machines that take wide rolls of paper and with full keyboards that go to 99 million. Everyone was stunned. A dozen people saw this. He could have been dead. Right there in front of us. Kyle wasn't the only character there of his type.


Old people can be very disrespectful to one another. 

That old janitor walked right up to Kyle on the floor and angrily yelled at him for not heeding his sign and that doubly warped our minds. All of our minds, not just mine. We were dialing emergency and the janitor is chiding our boss as he lay stiff on the floor. Kyle turned out okay but the episode was harrowing and dire and hilarious to us boys two ways, and apparently I'll never forget it.

Trump will win it, of course.

He's hitting her where she isn't supposed to be hit and she is having to defend herself.

So she doesn't have it both ways.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

Stupid waste of time. Democrat women like Hillary for the following reasons: The big D. Dee after the name. She's a democrat.

Free stuff is a bonus.

Everyone here hates Hillary so this is just red meat for us. Dems will support her if she kills puppies on live TV. This does edify young voters who were too young to remember Bubba's treatment of women. So, while I agree Trump is stupid in much of what he does, I think this makes sense.

No, she does not have it both ways at large, altogether, among all us, not at all, In her speech she plays both ways and her audience accepts both ways as singular. Attacking Trump is merely speaking the truth about him, writers with links and evidence, her audience accepts that as straightforward talking while his ridiculous ways must end.

Meanwhile Trump is doing the exact same thing on the exact same subjects and his charges are much worse, more grievous for all parties, and all occurring through public office and for public ambition.

She goes her dirtiest and it's very bad but not that damaging.

He goes his dirtiest worst and it's very bad and damaging for everyone within range and it's all true.

In her speeches she has it both ways and her audience accepts it all as nonconflicting. To everyone else it glares.

Have to disagree, Chip. He has yet to be accused of the things the Ozark Mafia has. Yeah, he chased skirts in his youth and had a couple of divorces, but how many guys can rest easy their exes won't air all the dirty linen?

Ivana and Marla both still like him and say only good things. If he was smart, he'd have them both speak at the convention.

Most people do, not just here. The First Law of Hillary - the more you see her, the less you like her - was amply demonstrated by her last book tour. They had to pull it before she damaged herself beyond repair. And a lot of Demos see her and Willie as sellouts to The Man.

It's one reason Bernie is doing well.
