Clinton Hits Trump As ‘Temperamentally Unfit’ To Be Prez In Victory Speech

During a victory speech on Tuesday night, Hillary Clinton pivoted toward a general election fight with presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump and cast him as “temperamentally unfit” to occupy the Oval Office.

“We believe that we are stronger together and the stakes in this election are high, and the choice is clear,” she said. “Donald Trump is temperamentally unfit to be president and commander-in-chief.”

Clinton took Trump to task on everything from his foreign policy to his business experience during her speech at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, taking a shot at Trump’s signature slogan to boot.

“He’s not just trying to build a wall between America and Mexico, he’s trying to wall off Americans from each other,” Clinton said. “When he says ‘let’s make America great again, ‘that is code for, let’s take America backwards.”

The former secretary of state said Trump’s attacks against a judge overseeing a lawsuit against Trump University, his mocking of a New York Times reporter with a disability and his insults against women go against “everything we stand for.”

“It’s clear that Donald Trump doesn’t believe we are stronger together,” she said. “Well, we believe we should lift each other up, not tear each other down.”

  1. Which is a point the campaign needs to hit on over and over and over. Because Trump has no comeback. He goes on a Twitter rampage, he only proves the point. Goes nasty, proves Clinton right… tries to be “presidential” will fail miserably ad subliminally cede that Clinton brought him heel like the mad dog he has been.

    Trump is unfit to stand next to pointed objects.

  3. Trump is in a box. If he does not respond to Clinton’s critique, he thinks he looks weak. But his handlers have finally convinced him that he looks like a fraudulent bigot when he lashes out.

    What to do?

  4. Like a Mohammed Ali jab to the eye, over, and over, and over, and over
