Classy mom, classy daughter. Chelsea Clinton responds to Trump threats.

https://maboulette.wordpress.com/2016/09/28/chelsea-clinton-responds-to-trumps-threats/

“My reaction to that is just what my reaction has been kind of every time Trump has gone after my mom or my family,” Clinton said, “which is that it’s a distraction from his inability to talk about what’s actually at stake in this election and to offer concrete, comprehensive proposals about the economy, or our public school system, or debt-free college, or keeping our country safe and Americans safe here at home and around the world.

“Candidly, I don’t remember a time in my life when my parents and my family weren’t being attacked, and so it just sort of seems to be in that tradition, unfortunately. And what I find most troubling by far are … Trump’s continued, relentless attacks on whole swaths of our country and even our global community: women, Muslims, Americans with disabilities, a Gold Star family. I mean, that, to me, is far more troubling than whatever his most recent screed against my mom or my family [is].”


The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Stay classy Chelsea.

All you have to do is compare the kids of either candidate to see who is the better person. The Trump kids weren't taught honesty, integrity or compassion. Chelsea soars above them in character.

Chelsea is brilliant, like her parents. Yet she has been raised to believe that service to her fellow citizens is expected. She's been raised to be respectful and courteous and mindful.

Trump's kids are brats. No discipline. No respect. No self-control. Just brats, I don't care how old they each are.

I still want to see more needling of Trump by throwing in phrases like "his plans COME UP SHORT", "his behavior DOES NOT MEASURE UP", "he can't SEEM TO GRASP the situation" and "Trump's SMALL MINDED STATEMENTS"...this is a man utterly incapable of controlling himself and one who will go wildly off-message CONSTANTLY with just the slightest provocations.

He can't handle anything about himself not being described as "THE BEST", "THE BIGGEST", "THE MOST"....belittling him at every turn drives the goon crazy...not to mention there is a double entendre in all of those cases that the assclown would interpret as swipe at the size of his manhood and he has already proven to be VERY sensitive about THAT!

The Clintons have more class than I do..,because it was me facing a buffoon like Trump, I keep handing him fresh lengths of rope to hang himself with every day.

Democrats come out looking like the adults in the room and the GOP do-nothings get shown for who they are. That's reason enough for them to constantly attack the Clintons.

she still manages to "go high instead of low". Credit to Michelle Obama for the phrase.

Trump isn't just less qualified than Clinton; he's less qualified than any random person just pulled off the street by lottery would be.
