GOPer: Clinton Will 'Go Down Like Monica Lewinsky' Debating Trump

[KamaAina]

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/florida-republican-clinton-down-like-lewinsky

A Florida GOP official said that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton would "go down like Monica Lewinsky" if she debated Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

Bob Sutton, chairman of the Broward County GOP Executive Committee, suggested Clinton would be easy to debate in the general election.

“I think when Donald Trump debates Hillary Clinton she’s going to go down like Monica Lewinsky,” Sutton told the Post.

Kristin Matheny, secretary of the Broward County Republican Party in Sutton's county, told the Sun Sentinel newspaper that Sutton should apologize.

You stay classy, Bob!

1. Apparently this person hasn't actually listened to Trump

nor seen Clinton at a debate

So I rate this as pure misogynist bullcrap

[ReRe]

31. +1

[maddiemom]

61. So right.

If it ever happens, Hillary will take Trump to the cleaners. This person apparently never saw her handle the inane Benghazi witch hunters either. Love her or hate her, the woman maintains her cool under pressure. This reminds me of the amazement shown by the media PTB when Joe Biden handed Paul Ryan his head in the last V.P. debate (after having previously being far too much the gentleman with Sarah Palin). The Republicans chose, for inexplicable reasons, to portray this experienced and successful former senator as a clutzy clown, and the press jumped gleefully on the bandwagon.

[Renew Deal]

2. I just wonder if voters will care about facts

Most republican voters clearly don't, but what about everyone else?

[AngryAmish]

5. No one cares about facts.

Human brains do not work that way.

Who, whom ...as Lenin said... Is the basis for human decision making.

[robbob]

38. "Well there you go again..."

Isn't that how the gipper "won" his debates against Jimmy Carter? Logic and facts be damned; all you really need is a good catch phrase...

[elljay]

41. EXACTLY what I was thinking!

I was so sure Carter won that debate and I was stunned the next morning by the polls. The people who are interested in meaningful issues have largely made their minds up before debates. Those who haven't will always go for the simple sound bites.

[maddiemom]

63. My immediate reaction as well.

[femmedem]

3. That's horrible.

And imagine the level of misogyny in Sutton's circle if he thinks it's ok to talk like that to the press.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

4. Are you sure that wasnt said by someone here at DU? Sounds familiar.

[notadmblnd]

27. You need to dig it up if it was posted here

and provide a link.

You know damn well no one here said it.

[JoePhilly]

71. My first thought.

They've come close. But I don't think any have gone quite that far, yet.

[Agnosticsherbet]

6. Only a vile, stinking Sexist, woman hating, chauvinist asshole would say something like that.

Wouldn't you agree?

[KamaAina]

8. I prefer the shorter version "Republican".

[Agnosticsherbet]

9. I think we should use all the words that apply.

I just did not have time to write them all.

[Chemisse]

62. That single word seems to encapsulate it.

They are truly repulsive.

[lpbk2713]

7. No Dem should dignify Chump with a debate.

He would ramble on with his usual ad hominem bullshit and the moderators would grow short
of patience trying to keep him on topic. Unless the debate was aired on Faux of course.

[DJ13]

10. I always laughed when the Clinton supporters were complaining about Bernie being mean in a debate

They should have known Bernie was pulling his punches, but the Republicans wont pull any punches...... no matter how much they complain.

[pnwmom]

23. And she was pulling her punches. That's what smart Dems try to do in the primary

so whoever wins hasn't been kneecapped before the General.

[frylock]

78. Claiming Bernie wasn't in favor of the auto bailout and that he supported the Minute Men..

was pulling punches?

[Jack Rabbit]

11. Republicans, especially those closely associated with Trump, no longer try to hide their misogyny

That is disgusting.

[struggle4progress]

12. yick

[greymouse]

13. Welcome to the general election

If "that woman" is nominated. Oh, wait, it's the other "that woman."

[hay rick]

14. Speaking of going down...

we once again are confronted by the question of how low the Republicans can go. I was shocked when George W. Bush won the Republican nomination. I was shocked again when McCain picked Palin for his running mate. I was shocked yet again when Trump's crude insults not only didn't derail his campaign but appeared to fuel its momentum.

Bob Nobody, Republican from Broward County makes a Monica Lewinsky remark? I am not shocked or surprised. He's a Republican and they no longer hold themselves to any meaningful standard.

[WIProgressive88]

15. Nothing these assholes say shocks me anymore. They've truly lost the plot.

[NuclearDem]

16. Oh, by all means, keep it up, guys.

We don't have 100% of the women vote yet.

[pnwmom]

24. Exactly. 70% isn't enough. We want more. n/t

[AgadorSparticus]

17. Pulled that one right out of his ass. Jesus christ, we have been waiting breathlessly fosomething

Meaningful to come out of Trump's mouth. While we're at it, can ANYONE on the right say anything with substance or TACT? What a bunch of knuckle dragging jackasses.

[greymattermom]

18. Hillary supporters need to be ready with responses

like "when you're in the hot seat, facts will cook your balls"
just something that will gross out The Donald.
He's grossed out by women.
He thinks about his body a lot.
So, what tweets should be sent?

[houston16revival]

19. Difficult to debate a dominant narcissist

I could imagine Trump getting her goat

HRC becomes slightly strident when miffed

Trump brushes off anything he disagrees with, he rules more than debates

and the media elites allow him free reign

Facts don't matter to Trump, he just reassures and invents what he needs

This is a very worrisome pairing in my view

But she'll have handlers, and coaches, and prep, and the very best the world
has to give her

She is one battle-tested lady

She's going to have to channel Margaret Thatcher, FDR, Lloyd Bentsen, Ann Richards

We could finally reverse that moment that began it all: "Are you better off than
you were four years ago?"

"Do you want our nation led by someone who can't keep his facts straight and changes
direction five times a day?"

[trumad]

26. She's already got it down.

[greymouse]

44. "Do you want our nation led by someone who can't keep his facts straight and changes direction five

Hillary would be saying this? Are you joking?

FDR would puke at Hillary's character. Margaret Thatcher, well, that's a different story.

[houston16revival]

46. I puke at the logic or lack thereof that you employ in your post

You sound like a Trump Troll

Go home

[lovemydog]

68. FDR had many who attacked his character

and the character of his wife too. For being privileged elitists, for being corporate stooges and sellouts, for being socialists, all sorts of things. Having read books about FDR's presidency, I believe the criticisms of him coming from the self-described left and self-described right (loads of conspiracy theories on both sides) were similar to those of Hillary Clinton today. I love reading history books because they clue us in to what's happening today - nothing much is new under the sun. Hillary is calling for a new New Deal. I think both Hillary and FDR share the ability to kick right wing asses and get things done that are good for average people. And I think you're either trolling or (perhaps even more embarrassing) unaware of the opposition to FDR's policies at the time they were being implemented. Hint: nearly every one of his policies was challenged in court.

[zalinda]

81. Hillary equals FDR? I certainly want some of what you are smoking.

The very first thing you should be aware of is 'noblesse oblige', Hillary doesn't have an ounce of it in her body, all you have to do is look at her history to see it. Defending child rapist by accusing the child of solicitation , built luxury hotel in Haiti instead of destroyed homes, H1B visas and wanting more of them, defending wall street, just to name a few, FDR and Eleanor are rolling over in their graves at the thought of these actions being associated with their names.

And, what criticisms from the left the Roosevelts got was because the left were communists back then. The people loved them and voted for them 3 times. Bernie is much more like Roosevelt than Hillary could or would ever be. She never thinks of us lessers, unless she wants our vote, after that we are ignored. It has always been that way, and always will. She learned her lesson in Iraq, so she would never do the same thing in Libya, right?

Z

[Skittles]

74. don't forget to take your ball when you go home

[Scuba]

20. And Hillary's fans think Bernie has been too hard on her. Hillary-hillarious.

[ronnykmarshall]

77. Got make is all about Bernie, huh?

Sad.

[grossproffit]

21. Are tweezers & magnifying glasses are allowed @ debates?

[enid602]

76. certs

Or, is that half a pack of certs in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me.

[Vinca]

22. Better get used to it.

It's going to be 6 months of this stuff.

[Katashi_itto]

25. Lol! Clintonistas better get thick skins. Munches popcorn.

[grossproffit]

30. Wait till they get their hands on that rape fantasy essay of hers...Oh wait, wrong candidate.

[Katashi_itto]

35. Lol...! She has much worse things in her closet. Munches popcorn.

Too Funny!

[frylock]

80. No need to bring up "fantasies" where Bill is involved.

The Republicans have many real-world scenarios to reference on that front.

[peace13]

28. What goes around, comes around.

The terns you thought were sexist with Bernie are gonna feel like kisses from momma compared to what she is going to be hit with next. The scary raised voice of Bernie will sound like a love song compared to the orange vomit she will be hit with in a GE. Ugly is putting it mildly!

[greymouse]

45. Well, she might not like Donald's "tone"

You know how proper the alumnae of Mrs. Smith's School for Young Ladies are.

[maddiemom]

64. Whoooo...

I'm sure Hillary is shaking in her pantsuit ( as her contemporary---even with better legs, I think that's a good choice. Also why should she even consider what she wears? I know this became a tangent---but I couldn't resist). On to relevance: what makes you think that she couldn't handle any of the Republican clowns? Have you been living in a cave--or just Fox brainwashed? Wait! Maybe you're just trolling?

[peace13]

65. No, she plays both sides, in case you haven't been watching.

Poutrages for her Dem Attacker and whatever she decides to use for her Rethugs..TBD. It could be a sniper attack for I know.

[peace13]

66. I didn't speak of her attire and couldn't care less what she wears.

Your troll argument is a fine example of all shame in the Hill camp. Projection is the game. Better go look in the mirror.

[maddiemom]

69. I SAID it was a tangent. Projection? I don't follow you with that as a fallback "and so's your Old

Man!" reply. Anyone can claim "projection" since it takes you off the hook in an endless circular argument. It's interesting---I've never been accused of being a troll before. BTW, I voted for Bernie in the PA primary.

[blackspade]

29. Holy crap.

And here I thought the Donald was a sexist shit heel.....

The fact that Lewinsky is still a republican joke du jour shows what absolute assholes they are.
Sexism and slut shaming all in one.

[11 Bravo]

32. And the GOP "Women's Outreach Plan" marches on.

[fasttense]

33. The GOP has been prepared to run against Hillary for decades.

This is but a small taste of what they are going to throw at her.

It will get worse. The GOP doesn't care about the woman vote, except maybe for women like Ann Coulter. Coulter type women who want to take away their own right to vote if it means the success of the party.

Let's hope hurling sexist insults doesn't make Trump more popular. Hillary's dislike numbers are very high and attacking her may not be a bad strategy.

[Nonhlanhla]

34. Keep it up boys

This kind of vile misogyny will only help Hillary.

Oh, and here's my official response to the crap that this dude spewed:

[gordianot]

36. The negative deluge of ads against Clinton will render commercial media unwatchable.

...of course there will be retaliation from Clinton supporters. This is the part of the election cycle I dread but may have to watch anyway. Trump and his immature personal insult style is somewhat unique. Not that there is any chance Trump or any Republican can sway me the ads themselves in small doses on YouTube might be interesting to see how they are handled. Think of the sheer waste of resources we commit to elections.

[raindaddy]

37. The Clinton campaign wasted their "sexist" accusations on one of the cleanest campaigners...

in history..

Here comes a "real sexist" and they've cheapened a legitimate accusation...

[0rganism]

39. i don't think the "sexist accusation pool" dries up that fast

Trump is obviously a sexist. Trump's support base is infested with misogynists.

it doesn't matter a ton if HRC's campaign "cried wolf" earlier since all the "townspeople" can clearly see "the wolf" now.

Trump's going into this election with 70%+ disapproval from women and Hispanics. the scope of his defeat will be Epic.

[raindaddy]

40. Hillary also enters the general with a negative trust factor and not a lot of respect.

As we've seen Donald Trump doesn't mind making himself look bad as long as he takes down his opponent. And while she'll probably win it won't be without a cost. she'll enter the White House with high negatives , not a lot of capital and a Luke warm support from progressives.

Things will get much worse if she tries to flip on the TPP and can't get her college package through congress. Wouldn't surprie me if she's primaried from the left after her first term.

[0rganism]

42. she's about to be at the forefront of an unprecedented Democratic landslide

i think she'll have plenty of capital and a compliant congress to work with on her agenda.
the remnants of the national-level Republican party will be kept quite busy trying to find their political footing after this election, and they won't see a lot of benefit in trying shit like email server impeachments.

Hillary's negatives are a serious thing and if she openly embraces the economic policies of the bandwagon plutocrats who jump ship from the dying Republican party, she will indeed be vulnerable to a primary challenge in 4 years.

what works in our favor is that the Clintons really like to triangulate, compromising their way to what they perceive as positions of political strength. those positions of political strength are about to shift. she'll be triangulating toward the left instead of away from it.

[raindaddy]

48. Even though we disagree I appreciate your logic and your prediction is certainly plausible...

Where we do agree is if she continues the current economic class war against the poor and middle-class she'll probably face a challenge from the left in four years.

I just don't see her triangulating toward the left. In fact I see her flipping on the TPP within her first year in office. I hope I'm wrong...it's going to be interesting as hell to watch unfold..

[mdbl]

60. I hope you're wrong too

But I had the same feeling when she told Jake Tapper on CNN she's against the TPP. My first thought was why can't you just say you won't consider it. Then I wondered if she even said it would she follow through if she's president. It's hard to vote for someone you don't know you can trust.

[tenderfoot]

43. Sounds like something one of DU's conservative trolls would say.

eom

[keithbvadu2]

47. If he says that about Hillary and Monica, what would he say about

Dubya and Jeff Gannon?

[Photographer]

49. Swear to god, the republicans are shedding brain cells like they're down jackets in July.

These people have no couth.

[jg10003]

50. As a Bernie supporter I must admit that Hillary is a world class debater

I'm sure she will win the debate. However that does not mean that she will win the election. Most debate experts think the debates were won by Nixon in 1960 and Gore in 2000. However the voters disagreed (yes I know Gore actually won). A lot depends on how the media reacts.

[Thinkingabout]

51. At one time it was said"just wait for the debates". We waited and Hillary

Won the debates. Trump will win the game for the most faces, Hillary will come prepared to be the diplomat she is, Trump, same old crap.

[KamaAina]

52. Hillary debated Trump? I must have missed that.

Oh, you mean the debates with Bernie. She won those?

[Thinkingabout]

53. Try rereading, I posted Trump will win, not Trump won. I also said Hillary will come,

Thesec are future tense words not past tense.

[KamaAina]

55. Nope. Past tense.

At one time it was said"just wait for the debates". We waited and Hillary Won the debates.

[Thinkingabout]

58. No, this is what I said about Trump

"

" Trump will win the game for the most faces, Hillary will come prepared to be the diplomat she is, Trump, same old crap.

[TipTok]

54. So many jokes... None that would survive a hide...

Oh well..

[Jeb Bartlet]

56. Typical Repug

opens his mouth and nothing but shit comes out.

[hopemountain]

57. what the hell is that supposed to mean?

this is a dispicable thing to say by piece of garbage at the foot of all of america.

[alp227]

59. it's too bad Beavis and Butthead got cancelled before the Lewinsky scandal nt

[KamaAina]

67. Heh-heh, heh-heh, he said "seamen"!

Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh!

[leftyladyfrommo]

70. What a horrible, vulgar remark.

Sexual vulgarity just makes men look like total assholes. But then this guy probably is a total asshole.

What an awful, completely tasteless, crass thing to say.

[KamaAina]

72. This is why Charles P. Pierce called Trump himself "a vulgar talking yam".

Well, that, and Trump being an Orange-American.

[leftyladyfrommo]

73. Trump is really vulgar, too.

I hate that when men talk like that.

[2banon]

75. I'm no Hillary fan, but if I were her, I'd have a few choice words for these misogynists slime

creeps. I might get alerted on here, so I won't express those here.

but they're in my head, and it's really hard to keep there.

[frylock]

79. Delicious.

[jeffreydj]

82. A little confused

I do not remember Donald Trump ever debating Monica Lewinsky, and even if he did, I am not at all confident that he prevailed.

Were they making a funny over Lewinsky's blow job of Trump? I would think he has bought enough of them to be able to judge Lewinsky's abilities in that act with a practiced eye.

Oh wait! They were comparing Hillary Clinton's putative BJ of Trump in their forthcoming debate to Lewinsky's performance in the Oval Office 20 years ago. I have not read the Starr report, so I am not certain that Lewinsky's skill as a blow jobber was actually ascertained. So it is a wild guess at best.

Any of the women on this thread ever BJ a man promptly after demolishing him into a quivering heap? No? I thought not. There is no way Hillary is going to offer the Donald any such comfort after she feasts on his smoldering remains.

Clinton will destroy Trump in the debates. Everyone but Trump will know it was a demolition, and his ignorance of that will be a leading reason why he is not fit for the presidency. She will wreck him, and he will think that she tried and failed to blow him. He will only get it right on November 9th.

83. Charming.
