Hillary Clinton reacted Tuesday to the first day of the Republican National Convention, calling the kickoff event “surreal” and comparing the GOP nominee to the Wizard of Oz.
“Last night in Cleveland was surreal,” Clinton said, speaking from Las Vegas. “I kept thinking ‘What’s this like?’ and then I thought, you know, when I was a little girl I went to see when they reissued it, the movie ‘The Wizard of Oz.'”
The GOP convention was filled with a number of bizarre moments, from people calling for Clinton to be jailed to Trump appearing on stage to introduce his wife, Melania, as Queen’s “We Are The Champions” blared and fog machines filled the stage.
Clinton noted Trump’s rock star-esque appearance in her speech.
“There were similarities that appeared to me. You know, lots of sound and fury, even a fog machine, but when you pulled back the curtain it was just Donald Trump with nothing to offer to the American people!” she said.
Another notable event from the convention’s first night was Melania Trump’s speech, which included a large chunk of text that was lifted from a speech Michelle Obama gave at the Democratic National Convention in 2008. Clinton didn’t address Melania Trump’s address in her speech.
Hillary’s campaign doesn’t have to address the Melenia story. They can just sit back and watch them dig their hole deeper till they settle on one defense…
…and then invite Michelle on state at our convention to make a few well placed jokes.
This is truly a case of “when your opponent is in the middle of hanging themselves…don’t interfere”
“Surreal”? Is that the best you can do, Hillary? Read a few comments a TPM for some material and try again.
Hill, first off, I hope Donald “the draft dodging coward and asshole loser” Trump gets destroyed in this election.
Having said that, you need to put the same fervor into reactive statements you put into your privacy. You really need to begin a 3+ month battle to beat him into the ground. Most of your responses are so muted as to be wishy washy. Go for the jugular.
I want to see Trump defeated by someone other than himself.
Wait—surely she meant Donald is like the Wizard of Id, right?
Check the finger length and you’ll see I am right.
