Clinton Hits Back At Trump: He Attacks Me Because 'He Has No Answers'

Source: Talking Points Memo

At the close of her Wednesday rally in North Carolina, Hillary Clinton directly responded to remarks that Donald Trump made hours earlier in a speech focused on attacking her qualifications.

"I know Donald hates it when anyone points out how hollow his sales pitch really is," she said. "I guess my speech yesterday must have gotten under his skin, because right away he lashed out on Twitter with outlandish lies and conspiracy theories and he did the same in his speech today. Now, think about it. He's going after me personally because he has no answers on the substance."

She also made pointed reference to her Methodist faith, which Trump questioned in a meeting with evangelical leaders earlier this week.

"All he can do is try to distract us," Clinton said. "That's even why he's attacking my faith."

this is the Media's Game Plan and has been since Cruz and Rubio dropped out. Besides Fake Noise,Comcast/GE/NBC/MSNBC are all in with this Guy. It sells ads Baby and they have greased the skids as to Hillary's honesty. And here we go.

The FReaks and the Trumpeteers are already blaming the Media, including Fox, for as good as losing the election. At least those that are closed-ear forever-tRump cheerleaders.

I read once that you can tell when you are dealing with a person with a severe Personality Disorder because dealing with that person wears you out.

I believe folk that were first intrigued by Trump's uniqueness will eventually tire of his "acting out". I only hopes it happens before the election.
