The more the smears pour on...

[LAS14]

... the more I come to believe that Hillary's practice of paying them as little attention as possible is the right one. I used to worry about how to defend her when canvassing, but now I'm thinking that the public may begin to get the point as the attacks grow more and more desperate.

Now I wish I could think of a way to articulate that in a canvass stop...

1. It is truly so over the top ridiculous. You're right. The desperation is thick.

[Yallow]

2. Trash The Dedicated Public Servant To Prop Up The Serial Scammer

The entire election strategy of the Lying Republicans.

Every day I hate Lying Republicans more.

3. She is playing it cool

and if she keeps it up it will pay off in the end. The Trumplicans are all running around like chickens with their heads cut off, trying to stir things up, an unorganized mob. This will be their undoing.

4. Now I wish I could think of a way to articulate that in a canvass stop...

How about the following?

Republicans have spent years trying to dig up dirt on Hillary and all they can find are emails? Pathetic.

Meanwhile, Trump has praised the Russian leader Putin, brought the Miss Universe pageant to Moscow in 2013, and has financial ties to Russia as his tax returns will show, which is why he doesn't release them.

P.S. or just tell them to google "Trump and Russia" !!!!!!!!

10. While Hillary was fighting for children to get healthcare Trump was making China

great by having all his products, like his suits and ties, manufactured in China, Thailand and Mexico.
Trump hired undocumented Polish workers on his constructions sites and then didn't pay them.
Trump imports foreign workers for his FL country clubs and golf courses.
If he wasn't willing to give any US workers jobs then, why should you think he will now?

5. Just tell them what you just told us.

really! The truth always wins out.... In the long run

7. "The truth always wins out - in the long run".

If the long run is after Nov. 8, it's not going to do us any good.

[calimary]

6. I've been tweeting various "news" people like a crazy woman

excoriating them for their anti-Hillary bias and non-stop negative obsession. My latest, today:

Gotta say it. Trump fixation makes it look like YOU ALL are on his payroll. Negatives-only coverage of Hillary confirms it.

I sent that one to every anchorperson and interviewer I could think of, today.

I recommend it! It's easy to find their names and their twitter pages if you just google them. Then let 'em have it! Seems to me if many of us get on them about their shitty "coverage," at least SOME of 'em might get the message.

For example, you should go look at the Rude Pundit!

@rudepundit

He imagines several different kinds of headlines that would be a LOT more accurate and less damaging to Hillary than the ones we see now. For example:

An alternate lede: "Rich people give Clinton campaign money, but she doesn't say what they want to hear."

And more...

@rudepundit @SophieInCT Another alternate lede: "Beloved musicians and adored celebrities support Hillary Clinton"

8. I agree that Hillary doesn't need to constantly reply to blatant smears.

However, I believe she does need to put out statements on a regular basis.

They can be brief and positive, but something to keep her name in the public space, in order to counter-act all the air time given to discussion of Trump.

"When they go low, we go high."

9. Yeah, this strategy worked really well for the Democratic nominee in 2004.

[busterbrown]

11. huge difference..

Most people now realize what Republican lies of 2004 brought us..

Kerry should have gone directly to Texas and called those bastards out immediately...

Clinton’s people are responding in a measured manner because the lies are coming so fast and furiously that no one can keep up with them.

They are waiting patiently before they pounce..You’ve seen some of their ads already..They are razor sharp.

We have to trust...

I never liked Kerry’s soft tactics from the beginning.. I knew they were doomed
