This. She sounded controlled, direct, and sharp. Easy to forget how awful the Republican clown car was against Trump - Hillary's first barrage was more effective than the entirety of their Trump attacks combined.
Just adding the "Lyin'" tag to "Crooked Hillary" isn't going to cut it in the general.
There isn't a long list of people who have gotten under Trump's skin: Obama, Megyn Kelly, Carly, Mark Cuban, and Warren. Hillary finally got to him too. Doesn't need to do it consistently, but did need to do it once. Warren, Biden, Obama, are better at it and can bait Trump at will.
HRC doesn't want Johnson in the debates because she wants to maximize the contrast between Trump and herself for a full 90 minutes with no other candidates on the stage. Her tone was fine. Compare it to Ryan's "endorsement". Ryan looked like he a drugged sleep deprived hostage victim. Trump still won't call off his attack dog Palin on Ryan.
Trump's way too easily baited. He lost it when a SuperPAC posted a semi nude photo of his wife from GQ. Was a published picture, not something that was hacked. Predictably Trump exploded by posting an unflattering picture of Cruz's wife. HRC calmly rebuked Trump and Trump responded by ranting in front of crowd in a city and state he'll lose by double digits.
As predicted, there was violence and riots in the streets. Fuck those assholes, but it's not like Trump didn't know it was going to happen. Trump continues to fan the flames and put people at risk. Not exactly responsible leadership. Is the death of a minority Trump hater or an OWG Trump supporter in/around a Trump rally a net positive for America?
Trump's walking back his attacks on Cruz and Martinez. GOP donors have told him to STFU and stop firing on GOP loyalists if he wants to raise $1B in 4-5 months. Election was already over when Colin Powell endorsed Obama in 2008 and more likely that Bob Gates endorses Hillary than Trump. Why alienate respected centrist 'Pubs when you desperately need blue and purple states?
