Donald Trump said Friday he's "taking the gloves off" in his general election fight against Hillary Clinton after she railed against him in her acceptance speech for the Democratic presidential nomination.
"You know, it's interesting, every time I mention her, everyone screams 'lock her up,' and you know what? I've been nice but after that performance last night, I don't have to be so nice anymore. I'm taking the gloves off," the Republican presidential nominee said at a rally in Colorado.
Trump notably didn't respond to chants of "lock her up" during his nomination speech at the Republican National Convention last week, causing onlookers to suggest he could be reining in his rough knee-jerk attacks on opponents. But at the Colorado Springs event, Trump said there will be "no more Mr. Nice Guy" in the contest against his Democratic rival.
"You know what I've been saying? I've been saying, let's just beat her in November. But you know what? You know what? I'm starting to agree with you," Trump said when the chants broke out at the rally.

(421 posts)He was one of the most ACTIVE draft dodgers of the Vietnam era. Gotta get the exact number of his EXCUSES (deferments) from serving America. But at any rate, Trump is right up there with Republican Uber-Chickenhawk Dick Cheney, in reaching for the highest number of EXCUSES (deferments) for FAILING in their responsibilities to serve the nation.
Yet today #ComradeTrump is a HERO to Republicans.
Yet today he is still a choleric blowhard - the Republican's Don Rickles candidate, espousing degenerate Republican Casino Values in vulgar insults to women in general, and Secretary Clinton in particular.
Tell us again, O Republican "conservatives," about your superior "moral" values.

(7,963 posts)Outmoneyed. Trump campaign has $91million. The Clinton campaign has $374.4. The Koch brothers refuse to visit with him.
What Trump also fails to realize is that Hillary JUST got started. She has been pretty soft on him. And the democratic machine is just revving up. The surrogates are on board and they carry big voices going out there stumping for their colleague.
Trump. Is. Screwed.
