President Obama on Monday said that he does not need to make the case against Donald Trump because the Republican nominee does so himself every time he opens his mouth.
“Frankly, I’m tired of talking about her opponent,” Obama said at a Democratic fundraiser in Martha’s Vineyard, referring to Trump, according to ABC News. “I don’t have to make the case against her opponent because every time he talks, he makes the case against his own candidacy.”
But while Obama said that the case against Trump is easy to make, he warned Democrats that they still need to campaign hard for Hillary Clinton.
“If we are not running scared until the day after the election, we are going to be making a grave mistake,” he said, according to ABC News. “We are still going to have to fight what has been an unrelenting negative campaign against her that has made a dent in the opinion of people even who are inclined to vote for her.”
How insightfully and artfully cruel is it that Obama won’t even say the man’s name? Other politicians do it with opponents but in this case it seems like a deliberate provocation and mark of contempt. Trump needs to feel he’s the most important person in the world because deep down in his broken mind he feels like he’s nothing. He plasters that stupid name in huge gold letters everywhere in the vain hope of feeling alive, feeling like he matters. And the man he hates most, the actual most important man in the world, can’t even be bothered to say it.
Heh.
Hillary’s opponent has a name?
He sure knows how to get under the skin of Hillary’s opponent.
Others need to do the same.
Joe, Bill, you listening?
Indeed, Matt - President Obama demonstrates class every time he speaks. And he’s absolutely right that we will not be complacent until after the polls have closed.
This election season has me worried only because Dems have an uncanny ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Everyone must vote, no matter what the polling says!
The beginning of a trend. From now on, known as “Hillary’s opponent.”
