* I'd like to point something out. Love him or hate him, Trump gives 110% in everything he does. He will campaign 3 x's per day/ 7 days per week, speaking to 10's of 1000's of Americans. Hillary's health, combined with her inability to answer many questions that will damage her (think email, Benghazi), will paint her in the worst possible light. Trump is right. Hillary does not have the strength or stamina to even RUN against Trump, let alone be POTUS. Just my 2 cents.
* The guy who flys back every night to sleep in his own little bed in Trump Plaza? The guy who phones in his interviews (in his pajamas) to the news shows? The guy who can't even take the time to learn any specifics about his plans? The guy who lends his name out to every half bankrupt corporation to use because he doesn't actually want the bother of owning or running it? That's the guy who is going to work 110% 24/7......... that's rich.
* Just my 2 cents,,,,, and about what its worth. Clinton ... 12 Hour GOP Congressional Inquisition ... didn't break a sweat. Trump: complained about the length of the debates .... couldn't manage to debate for 3 hours with questions split 10 ways!
* Couldn't even handle ONE (1) Question from Megyn Kelly about insults he made...... and has been whining about it for 5 months.
* You speak of Hillary's health and don't question Delusional Donald's (mental) health...why? ..................................................................................................................................................................
Get ready for the nastiest presidential race any of us have ever seen
By Chris Cillizza, May 4, 2016
Matt Drudge said it best.
Drudge Siren @Drudge_SirenDonald Trump's sweeping victory Tuesday in Indiana's Republican presidential primary not only puts him on a glide path to the GOP nomination, but it sets up a general-election fight between the real estate billionaire and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton that will be the nastiest, ugliest campaign in modern presidential history.
TRUMP VS. CLINTON: SHOWDOWN OF CENTURY! http://plu.gd/1jr3
5:21 AM - 4 May 2016
Why? Simple. Trump and Clinton will start the general-election campaign -- which, for all intents and purposes, begins Wednesday -- with historically low favorable numbers (and/or historically high unfavorable numbers) among the general electorate.
That's not to say they are equally unpopular. Trump is more unpopular. In a mid-April Washington Post-ABC News poll, just 31 percent of likely voters had a favorable view of him, while 67 percent saw him in an unfavorable light. An April NBC-Wall Street Journal poll showed that fewer than one in four respondents (24 percent) regarded Trump positively, while 65 percent viewed him negatively.
As Philip Bump has noted in this space, Trump's numbers make him the least popular Republican presidential nominee in the past two decades (at least).
Clinton is less unpopular than Trump, but that's not saying much. In a March Washington Post-ABC News poll, 46 percent of likely voters viewed her in a favorable light, while 52 percent regarded her unfavorably. In the April NBC-Wall Street Journal poll, her numbers were far worse: 32 percent positive and 56 percent negative.
When you have two well-known and poorly regarded candidates running against each other, it means only one thing: It's not about winning, it's about making the other guy (or gal) lose. Neither Trump nor Clinton has much of a chance -- given their unfavorable numbers -- of convincing voters to make an affirmative choice for them. Instead, the best course of action will almost certainly be a prolonged attempt to tear down the other candidate, making him (or her) so unpalatable as to be disqualified.
Both Clinton and Trump offer a target-rich environment for that sort of race-to-the-bottom campaign.
She has spent the past 24 years in the national spotlight, accruing a series of controversies and confrontations that have already turned her into the Democrat that Republicans love to hate most. From her decision to use a private email server as secretary of state to her handling of the attacks in Benghazi, Libya; her reaction to her husband's infidelity to her failed push for health-care reform; as well as Travelgate: There is lots and lots of material for Trump to use.
Then there is Trump. A "narcissist." A "serial philander." A "pathological liar." And those are just the things that Ted Cruz called Trump on Tuesday. The multiple company bankruptcies. His comments about women. His plan to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the country. His willingness to treat the National Enquirer as a reputable news source. His favorable comments about Russian President Vladimir Putin. And on and on and on.
Finally, neither Trump nor Clinton are shrinking violets when it comes to throwing a punch. Trump proved over and over again during his march to the Republican presidential nomination that he will say and do just about anything to win. Marco Rubio was sweaty. Jeb Bush was low energy. Ted Cruz was a liar. Ben Carson had a problem similar to that of child molesters. John Kasich ate like a pig.
And, even as he was waging political war with the Republican field, Trump gave every indication that he was itching to bring his attack-at-all-times approach to Clinton.
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrumpClinton, for her part, has never shied away from dropping the hammer on her opponent. She showed during the protracted 2008 Democratic primary fight she was more than willing to savage then-Sen. Barack Obama as woefully inexperienced for the job he was seeking. In this campaign, Clinton came out aggressively against Bernie Sanders on guns and the pie-in-the-sky nature of some of his proposals, such as making college free for everyone. And, like Trump, Clinton has already signaled that she is more than ready for the general election to start.
Crooked Hillary Clinton, perhaps the most dishonest person to have ever run for the presidency, is also one of the all time great enablers!

Hillary Clinton ✔ @HillaryClintonSo, buckle up. This is going to be nasty, brutish and very, very long.
We don’t have time to waste on Trump's fake solutions that won’t do a thing to help your families.
