OFFICIAL THREAD: DEBATE ZINGERS FOR HILLARY

[eniwetok]

Of course this isn't "official" anything... but it ties in with an old idea to harness some of that DU energy into something to akin to a "think tank" aimed at some specific issues... in this case what could be some memorable if not devastating zingers for the upcoming debate? I'm sure many of us are old enough to remember Loyd Benson's JFK zinger. Dukakis didn't win in 88... but who knows what points the Dem ticket got from a zinger that deflated that pipsqueak dimwit what's his name... only to have it undone when Dukakis blew a question of whether he'd support the death penalty if his wife were raped and murdered.

Given that Trump is both a loose canon and a moron... I suspect any zingers fall into several categories... something to counter one of his unpredictable rants... countering his evasiveness, countering his lies, countering his immaturity...

Any thoughts?

1. If Trump says Hillary has been around for 30 years.

I would like for her to list off all of the things she has accomplished and finish by asking Trump what has he done to serve our country or help anyone other than donating other people's money and passing it off as his own

[TheBlackAdder]

35. How you short-circuit someone like Trump... Get him on something and hit him 3 times with it.

My doctor neighbor show me a really cool trick...


Their minds can only be asked or confronted with something 3 times before the blow a fuse.


1) If you catch them on something, directly confront them.

2) When they try to change the topic... redirect back to the same question/topic.

3) They will try to redirect again, hold their toes to the fire and don't let it happen.



After this third time, they will completely lose their shit.

It's so fun to watch. It's the only way to get back at these types.



The problem is, the MSM and most people, are easily distracted and follow the change of topic. Most people will allow the topic to change, which gives the person an escape from answering the first question. Matt Lauer showed that he is a weak interviewer.


That must not happen! It's very hard to stay focused, but when you do, their heads will start smoking.

2. I'm rubber, you're glue.....

You got to remember Trump's base; KISS.

[eniwetok]

3. I should add...

Back in 04 Kerry had a forum... and I wish he had his own ideas private user think tank to complement whatever ideas his campaign came up with. The notion that the only good ideas can come from paid strategists and consultants has to be questioned. There's just too much at stake this Nov.

[mainstreetonce]

4. I want her. To rattle off a list

Of the most distinguished immigrants who have served this country.

Then ask
What do all these people have in common?


They are not Skittles!

[Warren DeMontague]

5. "Dude, I think something landed on your head"

[csziggy]

13. Hillary could offer him a bobby pin

[mainstreetonce]

19. She could say something

about keeping her hair simple while campaigning.
Look! No Bobby pins!

[csziggy]

25. Or get one of the stage crew to set up a fan blowing just the wrong way

So Trump's hair goes flying!

[tinrobot]

6. Grow up, Donald!

If he starts behaving like a child, call him on it.

[BlueInPhilly]

7. Borrowing from Raygun

- There you go lying again, Donald
- I will not take my opponents lack of public service experience against him

[applegrove]

18. That was Roger Ailes who gave Reagan that line. Bet he is helping

Trump in the same way.

[leftynyc]

36. I'm actually happy about that

Sexist pig ailes will be coming up with zingers that are likely to piss off women. He can't help himself.

[Avalux]

8. A successful businessman would have no problem sharing his tax returns.

I bet you aren't a successful businessman. I bet you've lied about that, just like you've lied about everything else. Come on Donald, prove to the American people how great you are. I dare you.

[renate]

15. not only would he have no problem with it, he'd be PROUD to share them

If he were really successful, that is.

[leftynyc]

37. Y'know, that's a great point

She could just say that ALL the successful business people she knows would be PROUD to share their tax returns.

[Aviation Pro]

9. Calm down, Donald....

....inside voice.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

22. Take A Deep Breath.........

............you're looking a little orange.

[eniwetok]

10. Liz Warren vs Scott Brown

During their debate sitting around a table... Scott Brown had his own pre-prepared putdown for Liz Warren... something along the lines that she wasn't a professor and he wasn't her student.

What I really wished Liz Warren had done was put her hand on his arm and said... "Scott, you delivered that line beautifully. How long did you rehearse it?"

[jberryhill]

11. Letting him say stupid shit all on his own

Honestly, there is no better "zinger" than Trump himself demonstrating his outstanding personality disorders.

There will someday be full semester psych/polo-sci dual credit courses based solely on this remarkable one man smorgasbord of psychopathy.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

12. Donald, if you keep lying about me, I'm going to start telling the truth about you.

[eniwetok]

14. or...

If you can't make a point without gross distortions or lies, you really haven't made a point... have you Spanky!

[renate]

16. I like it!

[applegrove]

17. How is Trump going to discern geopolitical risk better than the

generals when he could not discern, something as simple as, that Obama was born in the USA? He either has to say he was lying for all those years or explain it was really, really hard to read that birth certificate.

[annabanana]

20. That's good. . . .n/t

[lonestarnot]

21. She should take a can of raid and offer it as hairspray when she takes on his charitable receipt of

legal funds and 6 ft tall pictures of himself. She could tell him here fresh'n up that roadkill you're droop'n.

[NightWatcher]

23. That's not what your momma told me.

It's my fav '90's comeback.

[Cracklin Charlie]

28. Stealing this.

Edited to add:

Gonna use it on my kids, and blow their minds.

[yellowcanine]

24. Do you realize how bizarre it is when you advise actual universities on student debt?

[OnDoutside]

33. + 1000 Love it.

[unblock]

26. borrowing from perot's running mate, james stockdale: "who are you? why are you here?"

[Funtatlaguy]

27. "Yes, Donald, my marriage went thru a rough period,

as we know several of yours did."

[leftynyc]

38. I can't believe he's stupid enough

to try that. To go after the person cheated on when his very public affairs were front page fodder for years. And that's what I would say - something like "you going after someone on the subject of adultery is the very definition of chutzpah" (which Hillary will, of course, pronounce correctly.

[underpants]

40. "We kept our family together "

[meow2u3]

29. If you have something to say to me, say it to my face!

Are you a man or a mouse?

Release your tax returns, or are you too scared?

She should call him out on his cowardice, because that's what bullies really are: cowards.

[Cracklin Charlie]

30. Ask after Melania's well being.

[OregonBlue]

31. Really Donald? This from the guy who won't show us his taxes?

You're so knowledgeable about my foreign policy failures, do you know the name of the leader of _______________ or _______________or ____________________. How can you expect us to take you seriously when the only thing you know about other countries is which ones need more golf courses.

[OnDoutside]

32. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump says at some point "Google XYZ" about Hillary, and his campaign

have paid for some scurrilous crap to be top of the search list for XYZ.

[MurrayDelph]

34. Here, Donald, have a Skittles

Go ahead, taste the rainbow.

[eniwetok]

39. HILLARY: I want to ask the audience... WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF A LIE???

The Aug Quinniapiac poll found that only 25% of Trump supporters liked him. 61% WERE VOTING AGAINST HILLARY.

For some time I've thought Hillary has to eat some crow to be seen as more trustworthy.

HILLARY: I want to ask the audience... what's the purpose of a lie? It's to con someone to do something they'd never do if they knew the truth. I admit that in politics there's lots of this... and I bent the truth and have taken the hit for it... and for that I apologize. But, damn it Donald... YOUR ENTIRE CAMPAIGN IS BUILT ON LIES AND DISTORTIONS... and that proves you don't think many would vote for you if you told the truth. When are YOU ever going to apologize? And you can start by apologizing for the lies and innuendo you aimed at President Obama.

[eniwetok]

43. modification

HILLARY: I want to ask the audience... what's the purpose of a lie? It's to con someone to do something they'd never do if they knew the truth. I admit that in politics there's way too much dishonesty. Sometimes it's to get a law passed... sometimes just to destroy someone's reputation. After being attacked endlessly by the GOP for the past 10-25 years one gets defensive and I admit I've bent the truth and for that I apologize. I also have paid a big price with my credibility.

But, damn it Donald... YOUR ENTIRE CAMPAIGN IS BUILT ON LIES AND DISTORTIONS... and that proves you don't think many would vote for you if you told the truth. When are YOU ever going to man up and apologize? I think we all know that will be never.

[underpants]

41. Nothing in the form of a question, only statements.

Don't put the ball in his court. Smash the ball and win the point.

Be prepared for agitators and Trump rooters in the crowd.

Expect no support from the moderator.

[thucythucy]

42. Donald, while you were busy searching for President Obama's birth certificate,

the President and I were searching for Osama bin Laden. We found him, and we brought him to justice. That's not reality television, Donald, that's reality. That's not just talking big about terrorism, that's actually doing something about it.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

44. There he goes again!

[LeftInTX]

45. When he brags about something (all of his brags are unworthy of bragging)

She could sarcastically respond:

"Well that took a lot of balls"

[Mc Mike]

46. Say Hi to fishbonehead1 from me, the next time yer tweeting, donnie.

[LeftInTX]

47. She really should just be relaxed and enjoy herself.

She has everything in her head.

Don't be afraid to laugh out loud if Trump uses crazy antics.

Trump will be over-the-top all style and no substance.

[meow2u3]

48. On Trump lying during the debates

If he actually tells the truth, HRC ought to "congratulate" him as such: "About time you told the truth for a change."
