Trump rumored to go after Hillary on Bill's escapades. It is a trap, don't do it.

Trump supporters please tell Trump not do to that. It is a trap, Hillary has already a well thought out and rehearsed response, field tested, bullet proof zinger, and well pivot onto your marital escapades. It will blow up in your face, guarantee that. you can take that to the bank.

I'm sorry, I just can't stop making the Custer at Little Big Horn via Little Big Man comparison when it comes to Trump. It just fits him so well.

Egotistical, bombastic, delusions of grandeur, abusive of others, always think they are right and refuse to follow anyone's advice. All to their ultimate destruction.

I hope you don't mind if I start using this. It is great!

Richard Mulligan's Custer's character was probably intentionally made over the top (there is a farcical element to the movie) but it's absolutely brilliant.

Custer had better hair than Trump, though.

Custer was the perfect example of when ego blinds, disaster follows. Hopefully that will hold true for Trump, too.

...and it's for the reason you say: he knows she'll see it coming and hit back with a perfect line. But with putting it out there that he might bring up Bill's infidelity, and what not, it gets the media talking about it without really forcing Hillary to respond, because she's not going to respond unless it comes out of Donald's mouth.

Then when the debate comes, he'll not mention it and we'll spend the rest of the debate wrap up asking why he didn't bring it up.

So, he gets us talking about it without having to face the consequences of Hillary slapping the shit out of him if he does bring it up in the debate.

It's actually pretty smart...you know, if it was anything OTHER than Bill Clinton's sexcapades.
