As far as the facts are concerned, he's called into question her massive paid speeches for financial institutions and questioned whether that puts a blemish on her promises to reign them in (which is POLICY based), and mentioned that if the speeches were good and contain nothing in them, she should be transparent with the American public. These are not personal attacks 
- He used her demonstrably poor judgement while in office, based on what she herself recognizes as incorrect votes on the Iraq war, gay marriage, and supports on trade deals, to question how qualified. That's literally evaluating her job performance (as 2x NY Senator & Secretary of State), it's as much a personal attack as your bosses evaluating your job performance while determining whether you should be promoted or not.
- Not entirely sure what specifically you mean about the DNC thing, at least in terms of linking it to untrustworthiness. Are you talking about the George Clooney thing, or...?
- So basically any critique of anything she's ever done is a personal attack? Plenty of people, especially black activists, recognize the term "super predator", much like "thug" to be a racist "dog-whistle" term used in reference to black people. Apologizing for something does not take it off the table when deciding who will be the POTUS If so, we can't discuss half of Hillary's political career since she's either apologized for it, admitted it was a mistake, or reversed her position on it
- Not familiar with this one either.
It's really not a good look for Hillary supporters to set such a low bar for what constitutes a personal attack, in what has been an honestly tame primary season. It will desensitize undecided voters once Trump starts laying into her and her family. |
That was after he got grilled on it. But if he said that in the first place it wouldn't have been a problem. Basically the damage was done and then he clarified to mitigate the situation
Yes. She raised something like $10M at the Clooney event fundraiser for the DNC and down ticket Dems and Sanders went on a slander campaign saying she's doing it for personal benefit and siphoning money for her own campaign and raising money off of it throug emails to his supporters when that isn't true. Dirty politics 101
It wasn't used for black people, I can also name black activists who said that it wasn't too. It wasn't dog whistles, it was for gangs of kids, regardless of color.
Yeah a month ago there were stories in the news about Bill's past life with women he possibly had an affair with. Bernie came out and attacked Bill for it, calling what he did to those women as "shameful" when he should have been sticking to the issues against the only Clinton he's running against.
