These MSM attacks dogs have no conscience whatsoever and only respond to the smell of blood in the conduct of their extremely yellow journalism.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, they seem to forget, is only emboldened by this type of reckless abuse of the press.

Every one of Clinton\u2019s (considerable) weaknesses plays to every one of Trump\u2019s strengths, whereas every one of Trump\u2019s (few) weaknesses plays to every one of Sanders\u2019s strengths. From a purely pragmatic standpoint, running Clinton against Trump is a disastrous, suicidal proposition.<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>\u2013 From the February article:\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/libertyblitzkrieg.com\/2016\/02\/25\/why-hillary-clinton-cannot-beat-donald-trump\/#more-31800\">Why Hillary Clinton Cannot Beat Donald Trump<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If the Trump\/Sanders debate proceeds as planned in California, you\u2019re about to witness one of the most important moments of a\u00a02016 general election that hasn\u2019t even begun yet. <em><strong>To say such a debate would be an unmitigated disaster for Hillary Clinton would be the\u00a0understatement of the century. Let\u2019s explore why.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>First of all, Hillary Clinton outright rejected a debate request from Bernie Sanders ahead of the June 7th California primary. Given Sanders\u2019 recent momentum, as well as her need to persuade a significant number of his supporters to back her in November; such a denial was not only arrogant, it was highly insulting to voters in America\u2019s largest state. From team Clinton\u2019s perspective there was little upside to agreeing to a debate, versus easily manageable downside from a few days of negative media coverage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Or so they thought\u2026<\/strong><span id=\"more-34574\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The above strategic thought process\u00a0would\u2019ve worked in almost every other election season and against any other candidate. Unfortunately for her, it\u00a0doesn\u2019t work in 2016, and it\u00a0certainly doesn\u2019t\u00a0work against Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trump understands human nature as well as anyone I\u2019ve ever observed<\/strong>. He\u2019s also likely\u00a0the most skilled natural politician of my lifetime, with perhaps the exception of Bill Clinton in his prime. Under conventional thinking, Trump would\u00a0also\u00a0certainly deny a Sanders debate request for the same reasons Clinton declined it. There\u2019s little to gain in publicly battling a guy with nothing to lose, and you\u2019ve already wrapped up the Republican nomination anyway. That said, Trump is far too\u00a0savvy to fall victim to such straightforward thinking. He understands that debating Sanders\u00a0in California ahead of the primary presents a once in a lifetime opportunity to embarrass and belittle Clinton in front of the whole world before the general election even begins.<\/p>\n<p>Think about it for a second. Who cares what happens during\u00a0the debate itself. Think about what the media will be saying. Think about how weak, irrelevant and stupid a Trump\/Sanders contest will make Hillary Clinton\u00a0look. As the largest state in the union heads to the voting booths Hillary Clinton can\u2019t be bothered to have a discussion with Bernie Sanders, yet\u00a0Donald Trump is more than willing. I can see the headlines already:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"quote_start\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"quote_end\">\u00a0<strong>Hillary MIA in California?<\/strong><\/div>\n<p><strong>Where in the World is Hillary?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hillary Nowhere to be Found in California Primary.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><u><em><strong>You get the point. Trump will appear\u00a0Presidential, while Hillary will look like a discredited Goldman Sachs crook hiding from a 74-year-old socialist. Which, by the way, is exactly what she\u2019s doing.<\/strong><\/em><\/u><\/p>\n<p>Naturally, the whining hordes of Clinton sycophants\u00a0and paid online trolls who don\u2019t think they should have to work to secure the Presidency, will bitch and moan at Sanders. They\u2019ll blame him for all her problems, when the truth is this disaster, like most of her disasters, is entirely of her own making. Hillary Clinton was offered the opportunity to debate Sanders in California. She declined.<strong>\u00a0You can\u2019t blame Trump for jumping on the opportunity to make her look extraordinarily stupid. That\u2019s just politics.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2016-05-27\/trumps-decision-debate-sanders-california-his-most-genius-move-yet\">http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2016-05-27\/trumps-decision-debate-sanders-california-his-most-genius-move-yet<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bern Hasn&#8217;t Got Clue About What He&#8217;s Really Up Against<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38908"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38908\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
