Donald Trump, who knows all the best words, was widely quoted in his defense of child molester Roy Moore saying this of Doug Jones, Democratic candidate for the Senate in Alabama:
I’ve looked at his record. It’s terrible on crime. It's terrible on the border. It’s terrible on the military.
This attack is laughable on its face, as many others have already pointed out — the substance is nonsense, and come on Donald, we all know the only records you examine are brightly colored with charts and graphs and filled with your name to keep you reading. But putting that to the side, it also seemed very familiar.
It seems that Donald Trump’s mental degeneration has left him with only a few stock attacks against any political opponent. As evidence, I give you other times Donald Trump has said basically the exact same thing about a wide variety of people.
From a Trump attack ad that ran against Ted Cruz, Trump’s own words:
Had I not brought up the subject of illegal immigration, an issue which Ted Cruz is very weak on, nobody would even be talking about it. I will build a great wall, and Mexico will pay for it.
Back when Jeb! was running, Donald Trump accused Jeb! of being “weak on immigration.”
On a related note, let's ask candidate Donald Trump what he thinks about these child molestation allegations against Roy Moore.
While talking about Ben Carson:
It’s in the book that he’s got a pathological temper. That’s a big problem because you don’t cure that. You don’t cure those people. You don’t cure a child molester. There’s no cure for it. Pathological, there’s no cure for that.
Oh, and what did Donald Trump say when asked in the “Commander-in-Chief forum” about sexual assault in the military?
When you have somebody that does something so evil, so bad as that, there has to be consequence for that person. You have to go after that person. Right now, nobody’s doing anything. Look at the small number of results. I mean, that’s part of the problem.
