The Gain Control Series - Caricature Assassination

by Dr. Ellen Brandt


The Gain Control series offers our two cents worth of advice to Candidate Trump, telling him how we - GOP Base Loyalists - might like him to respond, in debates and otherwise, to specific kinds of attacks by Hillary Clinton.


With the three Great Debates concluded, we offer this last piece in the series, focusing on continued Clintonista attempts to deflect voter attention from issues that are important - plus Clinton's own many scandalous failings - by playing the sleazy, slimy "card" of Trump's alleged unwanted advances towards women.


The Clintonistas are furiously attempting to demonstrate that this ersatz issue defines Candidate Trump's basic Character, a fuzzy term at best, but one that resonates with the electorate, especially if they're not paying close attention to those issues that are actually important, like growth, jobs, immigration, security, and Globalism's many ills.


In these final weeks of this historical campaign, here's how we'd like Donald Trump to respond to these Caricatures of Character attacks, talking tough initially (but only in the tiniest of soundbites), then taking the loftiest possible High Road, in contrast to Team Clinton's delight in gutter - or is it cesspool? - politics.


Trump Channeling Our Advice (On Alleged Sexual Misconduct): Aren't we all - all Americans - getting sick and tired of tabloid politics, politics kicked into the Gutter? I know I am. And I know our supporters are.


What is most difficult for me - someone admittedly new to national politics - to understand is how Secretary Clinton, in the political arena for 40 years, can be so sanguine, so self-satisfied, about piling these Dirty Trick allegations on me, when so many similar allegations have been laid at the door of both her and her family for what is now four decades.


Bill Clinton, of course, was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice by the House of Representatives, with his impeachment linked to his real - as opposed to our imaginary - sexual misconduct. And now there are numerous allegations about Bill Clinton's fathering an illegitimate son - significantly, a half-black son - whom he refuses to acknowledge with pride as his offspring.


As for Hillary Clinton, she has been accused of pretty much everything under the sun, except, perhaps, cannibalism and bestiality - although there are probably tabloid articles somewhere or other which says those are among her sins, too.


But there have been more substantial - if still unproven - allegations of her own serial adultery, both heterosexual and homosexual, as well as reports that she has abused alcohol at times, to the point of harming her health.


There have even been suggestions that her overzealous aides or close supporters have been implicated in dozens of mysterious deaths, from the well-publicized suicide of Whitewater lawyer Vincent Foster to the very recent unsolved murder of young DNC staffer Seth Conrad Rich.


In other words - and we will say this just once and forever hold our peace - if the Trump Campaign wished to climb into the gutter with Hillary Clinton, there would be plenty of sleaze and slime that could be made to coat her own political persona.


But we choose not to. We choose, despite such extraordinary provocation, despite Clinton campaign tactics that might be common in a corrupt Failed State somewhere, but are not only uncommon, but unheard of in our own great Nation - despite all this, we choose to take the proverbial High Road.


Hillary may bully. But we will not retaliate in kind.


We will turn the other cheek.


We will acknowledge that the Clintonistas, many of whom are not People of Faith, may very well "know not what they do."


And we will Pray for Them.
