Hillary's Press Conference was masterful

[vlyons]

What a smart lady! Smart to hold a press conference right after last night's very disappointing and unbalanced forum. Smart to follow-up on Trump's stupid comments last night. Smart to as what Reagan would say about Trump's admiration for Putin. Smart to refuse to comment on her security briefings. Smartest of all - dissing Trump's statement that our generals have been "reduced to rubble." Can't wait to see the rubble ad that comes out. I hope HRC's press conference keeps the talking heads busy and is front and center throughout the week-end.

1. It was excellent

and timely. Trump is on the phone firing someone. lol

[randome]

12. Meredith McIver?

No, wait, he can't fire himself. Or...can he?

31. John Miller was unavailable for comment. . . . . nt

2. She was excellent!

Wonder if this was calculated, as to just pouring it all on these last 2 months? Trump should be buried after last night's event but of course he will continue... Seems the media this morning is having a hard time defending anything he said and she's underscoring that ten fold!!

Would LOVE for some top GOP to disavow their support...his dissing of the military is beyond the pale...

[Wounded Bear]

21. Of course it was planned...

Trump doesn't really have a campaign. All of the "outsider" crap works on the rubes, but there is still a real campaign to be run, and you can't do that with tweets and insults.

Hillary has some of the best campaigners in recent history on her team. This could, and should get ugly for Trump and all Repubs.

28. Just wish they would start running more effective ads

I'd like to see a "got stiffed" ad with 5 or 6 small business people, whom Trump cheated. An ad about fair wages with 5 or 6 waiters, bartenders, waitresses, who weren't paid overtime for serving at his events. And of course 5 or 6 disgruntled Trump U folks, who were conned. And how about some casino investors, who were left holding the bag, while Trump walzted away with a bundle of $$$$?

3. She was great. Fabulous idea to get right on it.

[vlyons]

10. I'll bet she decided to hold a follow-up press conference

right after she lost the coin toss that let Trump go last at the forum.

[RockaFowler]

4. She had to

Matt Lauer refused to follow-up on his own.

That was a thing of beauty on her part!!

5. Damn..MSNBC is ripping Trump this morning..

From Hillary's Press Conference to Sen Boxer to their panel..Trump is being call for all the astonishing disrespectful statements he made last night.

And Trump's spokesmodel Boris E is on sounding like a total "he said/she said" 9 yr old boy.
He's not helping anything...making a damn fool of himself.
Good.

[C_U_L8R]

7. That Boris dude has only one trick up his sleeve.

And it's getting tired. We all see it for the deflection it is.
I don't think he'll be on TV a lot more if he can't improve his deception skills.

[misterhighwasted]

8. Ha! They even called BORIS out on his lies! Right to his mobster face..

Holy Smoke! I feel weird applauding MSNBC

[world wide wally]

9. Sez who?

[vlyons]

11. Boris has another trick

he constantly interrupts and talks over. Obviously something he learned from Trump. Producers should cut his mic off, when he does that.

[C_U_L8R]

14. Yeah that trick is pretty worn out too

It's like all these rightwing shills go to the same media training academy.

They obviously didn't get to the lesson that points out these
gimmicks only work if people don't notice you're doing it.
They look like clumsy agit-propbots.

[alfredo]

24. Falwell was the godfather of talking over those with opposing views.

That one tactic poisoned the well. Polite discourse became impossible, because the right found they can shut down other ideas by shouting them down.

[apcalc]

30. Yes, the same media training academy....

Just as the Democrat begins to make a point...INTERRUPT !
They all do it all the time....

[homegirl]

22. Can moderators

cut off the mic at the debates?

[vlyons]

29. yes they can

they can simply tell the producer up in the control room to shut the mic off.

6. K & R

[asiliveandbreathe]

13. Bravo Hillary - Thank you for all you do - now

as I rewind the presser a bit - I was taken by Andrea Mitchell standing in front of the camera near the end - actually after "one more question" - in Hillary's face. I didn't hear the question (my first reason for the rewind), but I sure loved when Hillary took the opportunity to laugh in Andrea's face - ...and that I say "thank you" - well done Madam President!

[unitedwethrive]

15. She is so smart...how on earth is the race this close!

[Blue Idaho]

16. Phoney Polls, Media Bias, Lazy Journalists

That's how...

[vlyons]

17. Very very simple answer

As a Buddhist, I can assure you that 30% to 40% of voters are motivated by the 3 poisons: Greed, ignorance, and anger/hatred. Plus the Republican party is a vast criminal enterprise that agitates the 3 poisons in people to accumulate money (greed) and power. That's why we have to band together and tell the truth about what's going on in our society. Never get discouraged by the RWers intransigence to open their minds. Not likely, but certainly possible for some. Teach your children well.

[LostinRed]

18. The headline are all "what took so long"

Did she give another one at the beginning of summer?

Anyone have a link btw?

[niyad]

19. k and r, with thanks. from what one has seen since last night in the msm and other places, one

could be forgiven for thinking that der drumpfenfuhrer was the only one there.

[bucolic_frolic]

20. 'Every single Republican must answer for Trump!'

This, this, THIS ... is a grand slam home run swing!!

Hillary will surprise a lot of people if she can continue the POLITICAL ENERGY

into October and November. Energy is the hardest thing to fathom, maintain,
formulate, let alone generate.

She is so intelligent. May her legend grow!

[lark]

23. They should but absolutely will not do that.

They absolutely are allergic to saying anything at all good about her. I listened to Morning Schmoe for about 30 min. and it wasn't mentioned once, it was ofen that asshole halperin complaining about HRC's emails. Mika at least, correctly noted that drumpf showed his utter inability to understand the military and veterans issues as well as his disdain for it all. Lauer aided and abetted this. Most everyone agreed that Drumpf looked and sounded like a jerk and was the opposite of presidential. Steal Iraq's oil - seriously? OMG!!!!

[Brother Buzz]

25. She's baiting Trump, and you know he's fuming

"A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons." —Hillary

[PatSeg]

26. Excellent press conference

She was wise not to over expose herself (like Trump) before Labor Day. People are more inclined to pay attention. I think she is being very strategic and it is effective.

[Gothmog]

27. ISIS is rooting for trump

[spooky3]

32. release the surrogates! It's time to get them on every pundit show.
