I don't know if it a playbook, but is certainly the road the Republicans have taken. Negative ads work. They have made Karl Rove a lot of money. Obstructions works. McConnell is king of the filibuster. The Tea party has pushed the Republicans so far to the right, that they are off the grid. Whether you want to hear this or not, it has a lot to do with the color of the presidents skin, and his lack of governing experience before he was elected. Which no one can dispute.
How about playing on a level field. How many congressional hearing have there been on Benghezi (sp - I have a mental block about Benwhatever I don't want to hear or see it anymore). How many hearing were there on the Iraq war? Benwhatever isn't about the families of the four dead Americans any more. It is a political move to bring Hillary down. Does anyone believe that the current hearings won't last until late 2016?
The first rule in politics is say anything or do anything to get elected. Then run for reelection on your record. The Republican 16 have to cater to the far right in the primaries, because the far right votes in primaries. The winner will float back to the middle just like Romney. Nothing new there. It is the path conservative hopefuls have to take.
Hillary, on the other hand, needs the Clinton name to win. Her future political ambitions date back to middle 90's. Why else would a woman suffer the public humiliation she received due to Bill's idea of a good coffee break? were morals have to be rock bottom.
Trump is nothing but a bunch of hot air. His comments concerning Hispanics are down right wrong, and offensive. Fox News is trying to justify his comments by the recent murder in Frisco white woman killed by a illegal Hispanic. So, you paint all Hispanics with the same brush. Shouldn't you then paint all Republicans with the same brush, and all agree with Trump said? I know this doesn't apply, but apply that logic Hitler. A few Jews were greedy, and cause the depression. So, all Jews must be exterminated. He tried to follow through on his sick views. Are we going to do the same, and kick out all illegal Hispanics for the actions of a few? Trump assumes some Hispanic are good. That is right probably about 99%.
