Hillary Clinton just made her best case against Donald Trump - Zack Beauchamp, VOX.com

http://www.vox.com/2016/6/2/11843550/hillary-clinton-trump-risk


person, is fundamentally unfit to hold the highest office in the land.

"Donald Trump’s ideas aren’t just different — they are dangerously incoherent," Clinton said at the beginning of the speech. She continued, with a few lines that really cut to the core of the speech:

"They’re not even really ideas: just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies. He’s not just unprepared, he’s temperamentally unfit to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability and immense responsibility. This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes — because it’s not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin."


This wasn't the restrained, diplomatic Clinton we've seen for most of the campaign. This was a full-on firebrand, full of righteous rage at the idea that someone like Donald Trump could possibly be president of the United States.

That's basically a big FU to anyone who might entertain what Trump has to say. She needs to cajole and explain WHY his ideas are bad, not just say "he's an idiot and so are you if you think he has any kind of point." For a former SoS she sucks at diplomacy.

It was not for her diplomacy skills, to be sure. She's a firebrand and a Hawk. She loves to fight. That's what she's had to do for decades...fight.

I have a sister like that. She needed a fight, and if no one would provide her with one, she'd create it out of thin air to egg on someone to react to her inanity.

Like Hillary, it's silly to think she can change now.

A very different assessment from the other that's been posted.

Because, for the most part, she hasn't needed it before now.

Against Trump, it's a different ball game. Elizabeth Warren has been helping write the blueprint for an effective strategy against Trump.
