Donald Trump is no pussy cat, he has catapulted into the Republican lead by trashing one opponent after another. To him “political correctness” is the enemy; no better exemplified by the Democrat liar running for president. Hillary Clinton’s reaction to Trump is to pull out Saul Alinsky’s play book as manifested in “Rules for Radicals.” The Clinton camp, desperate at this point, mired in one lie after another resorts to the tactics employed by Alinsky.
Divided into ten chapters, each chapter of Rules for Radicals provides a lesson on how a community organizer can accomplish the goal of successfully uniting people into an active organization with the power to effect change on a variety of issues. Sounds like Obama took the book to heart during his stay at Columbia.
Alinsky would find an external antagonist to turn into a common enemy for the community within which he was operating. Often, this enemy would be a local politician. that had some involvement with activity that was causing detriment to the community. His goal was to unite a group through conflict with an external antagonist. Once the enemy was established, the community would come together in opposition of it. This management of conflict heightened awareness within the community as to the similarities its members shared as well as what differentiated them from those outside of their organization. The use of conflict also allowed for the goal of the group to be clearly defined. With an established external antagonist, the community’s goal would be to defeat that enemy, whether it be a politician, policy, or opposing agency.
The rule Clinton and Obama have used over and over again with success is the following:
“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. However, Clinton meets Trump and he ain’t no one to mess with. In Grand Rapids yesterday Trump answered Ms. Clinton with the full force of a CAT.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump pounded on Democratic front runner Hillary Clinton Monday, calling her a “liar” over her claim that the ISIS terror group used videos of his comments about Muslims to recruit militants.
“She’s a liar!” Trump told more than 6,000 people at a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He also said Clinton was “crooked” and “not a president.”
Trump also resorted to crude language to discuss Clinton’s 2008 loss in the Iowa caucuses to Barack Obama, who went on to win the Democratic nomination and the White House.
“She was favored to win and she got schlonged, she lost,” said Trump, who also mocked Clinton for returning late to Saturday’s Democratic debate following a commercial break. “I thought she quit, I thought she gave up,” Trump joked.
