Hillary Did It

Really?
You can't tell me that this isn't about Hillary as a woman.
Yesterday, I heard the ultimate - a Trump surrogate declared that Hillary started the birther questions about the birth certificate and origin of Barrack Obama.  Joy Reid countered definitively with many "No"s said repeatedly as the surrogate talked over her.
This comes as Trump declared that Clinton did not have the "mental and physical stamina" to be Commander-in-Chief.  Really?  And a Trump surrogate spoke about "Clinton's dysphagia" like it was a completely accepted condition.  BTW, dysphagia is the inability to swallow.  Huh?

Here's the thing.  Has any candidate for the Presidency been the subject of such allegations and attacks?  NO!   Now, granted that the Trump campaign is headed by a candidate who knows nothing about policy and has no substantial program to present and that he and his surrogates  have no experience in running a national campaign.  BUT, I am firmly convinced that the attacks that Trump and associates have lobbed would never be thrown at a man - of course, he would have found something else to toss at a man, like he did in the primaries.  

That so many campaign surrogates match the untruths that Trump throws underscores that this line of attack comes from Trump - the one and only boss.  And the fact of the matter is that Trump has chosen a line of attack that only lands because the recipient of the attacks is a woman.
