A Hole in His Line

Trump blustered. Hillary smiled back unperturbed. Hillary talked about studies and facts and quotes. Trump didn’t seem to remember what he’d said in the past about Iraq, Libya, or Vladimir Putin.

“Donald,” Hillary said, “believes global warming is a hoax perpetuated by the Chinese.”

“I did not. I did not. I do not say that. I do not say that,” Trump answered.

But in November 2012 Trump tweeted the “concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese.”

To use an old battlefield metaphor Hillary charged, broke Trump’s line, and won the battle.

And next? Trump now needs time to fall back, regroup, and counter-attack.

Or, on the other hand, if Hillary presses her attack she may turn Trump’s retreat into a rout.
