Mark Cuban says to hit Trump where his ego hurts - that school daddy's millions paid for? Obviously skipped English class bunches. As John Goodman said in the Big Lebowski (over and over), "Shut the fuck up, Donnie"
Comments
I am pretty sure that Marc Cuban will have Hillary's ear. I can tell you for sure that she knows how to give the "stinkeye" look. If anyone on her team doubts it, My whole family can come to where she is and give a tutorial. My son is particularly adept at saying "Asshole" as he coughs. Very effective as well, and could be a poke in the eye to those who consider a dry cough to be a symptom of a serious illness.
But back to topic: This article is great, and I also think is supported by his ghost-writer, who spent a lot of time with him for The Art of the Deal. I think she still has to make points on her own though; her mastery of facts and policy. When she killed at the last Benghazi marathon it was right after Planned Parenthood CEO, Cecile Richards survived her inquisition with grace, knowledge and an unflappable calm. I suspected that HRC saw that too and learned from it. I hope she does as well against theDonald as she did against theTrey.
OT, but is anyone other than me NOT clutching my pearls at Hillary's identification of Trump's followers/worshippers as racist, etc? He gets away with insulting and/or our southern neighbors, all Muslims, THE blacks, Latinos in general; and referring to her as "Crooked Hillary" every time he speaks her name -- his documented lies are ignored simply because of their frequency and egregiousness. I think Hillary should simply respond by saying "so what? Prove me wrong."

She was nice - she said "half"

Peracles... She's re-framed that "half" part...
Clinton: It was wrong to call half of Trump supporters 'deplorable'
Staying centered on the pivot...

So she's even nicer. She was right the first time.
Frankly I was thinking "half of Trump's followers are deplorable people. If you're supporting him, you might stop to consider which half you belong to." Of course she can't quite say that, but I certainly can.

OGD ... Clinton said (in part):
“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.”
She regrets one word: "Half".
Stay focused on that if you so choose, but I think I'll focus on her bigger point. It's consistent with what she's been laying out about Trump for some time now and the people he's not only attracting, but actively seeking. Her campaign believes it's a conversation that needs to be had - Trump is a major party candidate running a hateful campaign targeting hateful people for votes. We must discuss that ... or be very sorry we didn't. So if she gets some heat and keeps it in the news cycle as a genuine critique about this election? Good for her.

Barefooted ... to save me keystrokes...
As I just now pointed out to rmrd0000 over here...
Oh and, here's some wise words to live by...

OGD ... it was an odd phrase, but one that got attention and is tough to quote; just ask Pence.
As for pigs and whether they're worth wrestling, I guess it depends on who's sloppier. It ain't Clinton.
ETA: As Politico puts it:
So she fixed the problem.

Barefooted ...
Again to save me keystrokes...
As I just now pointed out to NCD over here...
Note Hillary's words from the convention.
That's where I'm seeing a problem.

Driftglass calls it 'the radioactive core' of the Republican Party. Normally shielded from conversation and from naive independent fence sitters by beltway media both siderism and 'conservative' shills like David Brooks.
