Donald Trump Is ‘Starting To Agree’ Hillary Clinton Should Be Locked Up

Source: Huffington Post

Donald Trump ventured into new political territory on Friday when he told supporters in Colorado Springs that his opponent, Hillary Clinton, should be thrown in jail.

“I’ve been saying, ‘Let’s just beat her on November 8th.’ But you know what? I’m starting to agree with you!” Trump said to a crowd that was yelling, “Lock her up! Lock her up!”

He also promised “no more Mr. Nice Guy,” for anybody who had been under a mistaken impression on that score.

“I’m taking the gloves off. Just remember this, Trump is going to be no more Mr. Nice Guy. Tell Hillary I’m not going to be nice anymore, are you ready?” he said. . .

If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen, Donald.

This guy is as thin skinned as Rush. He will collapse utterly no later than Labor Day.

For his sake, someone close to him needs to seek an involuntary committment for him so he can receive a psychological assessment from a mental health professional.

Unfortunately, I believe his children are enablers and they can't see how increasingly delusional and irrational he gets day by day.

I don't believe in armchair psychoanalysis. I certainly don't have any credentials, other than I've witnessed similar symptoms/behavior in family members and colleagues. Those who either voluntarily or involuntarily recieved evaluations and recieved help benefited a lot.

Trump calls for Clinton to be jailed

Sat June 4, 2016

San Jose, California (CNN)Donald Trump on Thursday called for his likely Democratic rival Hillary Clinton to be imprisoned.

"I will say this, Hillary Clinton has got to go to jail," Trump told supporters here as he slammed Clinton's foreign policy speech earlier in the day in which Clinton called Trump dangerous and "temperamentally unfit" to be president.

"Folks, honestly, she's guilty as hell," Trump said of the Clinton's use of a private email server during her time as secretary of state.

I wonder how Hillary will handle the outrageous accusations he will undoubtedly make in the upcoming debates. I would be dreading that if I were her. He doesn't follow the rules as we know them, and that makes him dangerous.

I think that Hillary (and her surrogates) need to do two things: Somehow the lower he goes, the higher she (they) go, but at the same time, turn the tables on him. They could say such things as, the reason that Trump continues to say "lock her up", is that he has nothing else to offer. She/they could then lay out the years of public service and outline all the positive changes she made. She/they could say things like -- "have I made mistakes? Sure...But now let's look at Trump's record" -- lay out all of the terrible things he's done and discredit him (in a "respectable manner&quot and suggest -- "so Who should be locked up? I'll let you decide..."

...and that includes the 11-hour interrogation over Benghazi. And the Bernie campaign certainly wasn't a walk in the park for her, either. So, she won't fold quick and easy like so many of Trump's republican opponents. I will grant you that Obama or Bill might be better at making Trump look small and silly; they have a relaxed style which seems to shed insults like water off a duck's back. Hillary doesn't have that quick-comeback magic. But she has Obama, Bill, Bernie, Joe and Warren in her corner. Not only getting her in shape for the fight, but taking their own shots at Trump.

If that team can't soften him up for her, AND help her to deliver a knock-out punch, no one can.

ALSO! Trump being a tough opponent is predicated on the media continuing to treat him as their darling, and the presidential debates going easy on him. He hardly had tough or fierce opponents in the primaries; and those running the GOP debates let him get away with murder.

If, however, the media starts getting as tough on him as they are with, say, Hillary, and if the presidential debates refuse to let him skate by...well, I'm not so sure he'll be so invincible. But, yes, as with this convention, Hillary and the Dems should OVER prepare rather than leave anything to chance. Better safe than sorry.

paraphrasing

You do not go around and demand that people to be locked up, this is not a dictatorship, you do not demand that your political opponents be thrown in jail, not like they do in Russia

Trust me on this: Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton, veteran of the Spanish Inquisition aka the Congressional Benghazi Hearings, knows exactly how to fuck Donald "Hindenburg" Trump up so badly he loses Idaho. Worse for him, she'll make it look like he did it to himself.

This is a guy who has not seriously been challenged in his life. He has four ways of dealing with other people: ordering them around, firing them, buying them off and crushing them under his boot heel. Hillary is a very professional politician; in that business you HAVE to win people over. Hillary can do that. Trump cannot.

There is a decent chance Hillary can maneuver Trump into admitting arrestable offenses during the debate.

and forgot that he said that, also has forgotten that he used Little Marco & is applying the same name to Little Mike Bloomberg.
He's just pissed Little Mike has more REAL money than he has.

He has a very limited vocabulary rarely exceeding 3 syllables.

little - 2
Marco - 2
loser - 2
crooked - 2
believe - 2
me - 1
low - 1
energy - 3 wow
greatest - 2
I - guess
am - guess
the - 1
Later, tired of searching ever for 3 syllable words, that dum don used

is a serious contender for the WH. The media is honing on his "no more Mr nice guy" comment and ignoring the whole entire thing. He could not put to sentences together to complete a train of thought. When he did speak about policy, he used thoroughly debunked data. He is a menace and the media is treating him like he is sane enough to be leader of the free world.

here is the video at the link. (I can't figure out how to get it embedded here) You only need to listen to the first few minutes of him speaking. It is the same rants and shit through the entire 40 or so minutes. It doesn't get better, only worse.
