Here Comes The Victim

woman pointing 5[Blind Gossip] Well, this is surprising. This very famous and admired person has always presented themselves as coming from a position of strength, calling themselves “a leader” and “a fighter” and “a champion.”

Guess who is now going to try to convince you that they are actually a victim and that you should feel sorry for them?

A strategist close to the situation tells us about the plan:

You can’t come from a position of strength against an opponent who is relentlessly stronger. You would get creamed. [They] know that. So now [they] are going to switch… and play the role of the perpetual victim!

The theme will go something like this: “I am the victim of bias on the basis of (wealth, gender, race, height, health, age, appearance, family, fame, social media, connections, education, whatever). Therefore you should support me because you are all victims too, and we oppressed people can’t let the bullies win!”

Every attack by the opponent will be categorized and countered as 1. a situation which can be blamed on someone else and/or 2. an outrageous lie by the attacker and/or 3. a personal insult for which everyone should be outraged on their behalf.

The strategist added:

Doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. The only thing that matters is if they can sell it!

Interesting. Guess all is fair in love and politics.

[Optional] Do you think they will be able to convince people that they are both a perpetual victim and a leader?

    Drumpf is going to claim to be the victim — he’s started cozying up to Bernie to garner more support.

    He touts being an ‘outsider’ as to why he should be elected; that’s probably what he’ll use to show he’s a victim. He’s been whining for months now about how the process is unfair.

    Clearly Hillary is the stronger of the two. She’ll slaughter (or should I say, ‘schlong’) him in the general election.

  2. HalfBloodPrincess says

    Trump is a Bully but also an amazing strategist, he obliterated all the other republican candidates with catch phrases, zero substance and most important bullying. “Little Marco”, “Lying Ted”, “Low Energy Jeb” and so on. Now he is setting his sights on Hillary Clinton. Because she is his only real competition now .

    He would be a disaster as president. Worse than Bush. The democratic party better unite themselves around Hillary even if people don’t LOVE her. She is our best bet at the…

  3. coolfish9 says

    I just want to say that it is TERRIFYING that there are so many Trump supporters here. Saying you support Trump where I live is just… no. He is a total insane person and a bully.

    • celebiddy says

      He probably has a lot of closeted fans where you live who are too scared to admit it because people will call them racist sexist bigots. Those are the go-to insults from democrats who don’t have any valid arguments against trump or in favor of hillary or bernie. I never tell all the liberals i work with that i’m a trump supporter because they just act all shocked/offended and then say we need bernie to win for all that cool “free” stuff hes promising. Sigh. My generation is so entitled…

    • celebiddy says

      Here’s a great quote by the brilliant Scott Adams: “When one person doesn’t understand economics, we call it ignorance. When millions don’t, we call it a political movement.”

    • InsidetheBeltway says

      I live in a one of the most Democrat populated areas in the country. Several of my friends/associates have privately told me that they may vote for Trump. They won’t say it publicly though. They still proudly display their Obama ’08 & Obama ’12 bumper stickers with the occasional Feel the Bern.

  5. rockstar says

    I see Shillary is shoring up her support. When Trump (rightfully) goes in on her for all her schemes and scandals, murders, rape cover ups, etc, she’s gonna play her ‘gina card. Watch and wait for it, it’s coming. She’s a murderous evil war hawk.
    “We have to stand together as women against the scary boogie man”. Come on. I cannot WAIT for the debates. *makes popcorn*

    • PhoenixRising says

      Maybe we are, and maybe we aren’t. After all, this country survived Nixon and, so far, we’ve survived Obama–kind of. Besides, I don’t think Trump or Clinton will be more than a one-term president, so if you’re looking for any kind of silver lining, that might be it. I just want all this campaign insanity to end, and can hardly wait for November.

    • InsidetheBeltway says

      Lots of similarities between Nixon’s election &Trump’s popularity. Nixon appealed to the angry/alienated, as does Trump. Nixon played to the fear of displacement in the social order as does Trump. The tendency to say things in anger or spite, without a concern of the results can be attributed to both. Hence, the populist vote.

  10. MrWolf says

    Future Victim – Hilary Clinton
    Bully – Bernie Sanders

    Do I think she’ll be able to convince people? No. She tried a similar tactic against Obama and it didn’t work. I think all of her complaints re: sexism and the “Bernie Bros” will backfire – Not all women identify with Clinton that strongly and Bernie actually has a very good record of fighting for women’s rights.

    It might have been better if she saved this for the general election against Trump.

  14. PhoenixRising says

    This is probably Hillary playing Trump’s victim.

    If this is true, she’s making a huge mistake. The POTUS is supposed to be a powerful person who can stand up to just about anyone. By playing a victim, she might be in danger of losing a lot of her female supporters who will consider her a sell-out. In addition, she might lose other supporters who will see her as too weak to be President.

  15. GiveUpTheGossip says

    Hillary Clinton
    Donald Trump
    You can dislike Hillary, but Trump IS a bully. His attacks on opponents, of any gender, are disgusting and in no way that of a respectable President!

  16. dftbkatie says

    Future Victim: HRC

    “Bully”: Bernie Sanders/Donald Trump

    [Optional] HRC couldn’t convince me of her leadership potential no matter how hard she tried. She is the poster politician for corruption. Her face literally makes me want to heave, and her voice is like nails on a chalkboard. If she or Drumpf get elected as POTUS, we’re equally as screwed.

  17. bellashade says

    Hilary is going to play the women are oppressed card. It may be true, but she certainly isn’t a victim of any kind!

  20. FlowerGirl says

    The corrupt piece of s*** $hillary. LOATHE HER! She doesn’t stand a chance against insane Trump. If she cared more about this country than her own ego, she’d bow out in favor of Bernie (who consistently beats Trump in polls, & can draw Independent and Repub votes. $hillary won’t even get a majority of Dem votes.) Typical of her, this changling bull. The indictment can’t come soon enough! #BernieOrBust #IndictHillary

    • jacksonian says

      LOL Do you actually know any Republicans who are voting for Sanders? (Btw, my Democrat Mom & Step-Dad, who voted Obama twice, are voting for Trump. )

  23. bubbasbbq says

    Hillary Clinton
    Donald Trump

    If you can’t take on Trump, how can you take on ISIS? Or Kim Jong Un?
    Or Putin?

    I would start to minimize you and turn you into a pathetic cartoon character if you tried that on me.

  26. CatInTheHat says

    Must be Carly Fiorina, Cruz just named her as running mate.
    She couldn’t convince me it was raining outside if I was standing there getting soaked.
    They make a great pair and deserve each other.

  27. OoLaLana says

    Beyonce.

    I’m not a fan and never have been but have watched her career from a distance.

    Nothing feels natural about her. It all seems strained and manufactured.

  28. 3Hearted1 says

    On second thought:
    Future Victim: Hillary Clinton
    Bully: Donald Trump
    As convincing as pigs flying

  33. FiyahHotFlashy says

    Future Victim: Hillary Clinton
    Bully: Trump

    NO…I would like to think people are on to their game by now. Just this morning I saw on the news Trump accusing Hillary of playing the “woman card”…SMH!

  37. andragon says

    Donald Trump’s strategy against Hillary Clinton in the general presidential election.

  40. Valfunde says

    Future Victim: Hillary Clinton
    Bully: Obviously, Donald Trump

    Do I think Hillary can pull it off? Maybe. Hillary’s going to use the “Woman Card” on Trump. He’s a bully and has no interest in women beyond their attractiveness and sexist crap like that. I think they could convince people of this since Hillary with her credentials and being a successful woman who has had to overcome challenges to get to where she is today, stands as a polar opposite of the blustery, born into $ Trump.

  43. Selkie says

    This sounds like Hillary, but I don’t think anyone would be surprised at her playing the victim card, since she’s been doing that all along. So maybe Trump is taking a page from her play book and becoming a whiner. This election is so pathetic!

  49. memommamo says

    Donald Trump (Victim), Hillary Clinton (Bully).

    I have already researched moving my family to Canada.

  50. algarve2016 says

    Future Victim: Hillary Clinton

    Bully: Donald Trump

    Optional: No. In order to win a presidential election, you have to play the leader and not the victim.

  51. scriptguy says

    Future Victim: Donald Trump

    Bully: Hilary Clinton

    He’s already playing his victimhood up – the Republican party is against him, the media is against him, protesters are the real bullies, etc etc. It’s worked for him so far… But God help us all if he pulls it off in the national election.

  52. NativeAtlantaGirl says

    Trump is constantly playing these cards. If we had to drink every time he used the word “unfair”, we would be on our 3rd liver by now. What is unfortunate is that the media continues to kiss his rump despite his treatment of them, not call him out on his lies/flip-flopping, and his supporters who are ruled by emotion and blind to facts.

  54. ethelm says

    I’m voting for Hillary for this blind item. The blame game has been her signature move.

  57. michellelp says

    Hillary Clinton?

    Donald Trump?

    I’m not with her so I don’t think she will be able to convince us of anything.

  59. emster says

    Victim: Bernie Sanders
    Bully: Hillary Clinton
    Trump supporter here. I may not agree with Sanders’ ideas, but I’ve always respected him for trying to fight and expose the corrupt system. It’s a shame he’s going to play the victim card because I thought he was better than that. But he’s about to lose the nomination to Clinton and I guess desperate times call for desperate measures.

  60. taracu says

    Donald Drumpf about Hillary?
    I heard him the other day saying she was benefiting from being a female, that if she were male she’d get < 5% of the vote
    Whatever. Everything the comes out of his mouth is a lie

  64. smiller2000 says

    Future Victim: Hillary Clinton
    Bully: Donald Trump

    Can she pull it off? Based on all the previous lies & cover ups, Yes.

  65. mzlizzi says

    Future Victim: Bernie Sanders

    Bully: Hillary Clinton

    [Optional] Do you think they will be able to convince people that they are both a perpetual victim and a leader? No

  66. Jinkies says

    Future Victim: Hillary Clinton
    Bully: Donald Trump

    This is comical. No one wants a perpetual “victim” serving as the president of the United States of America. A “victim” persona will never be able to convey strength to other countries – or even our own country -especially when there are other countries and enemies who want to do harm to the U.S. and will relish another weak U.S. leader, especially when it comes to terrorism.

  67. PinkCrayon says

    Hillary Clinton
    Donald Trump

    I wanted Bernie to win, so I’m totally over this race. Just hope Trump doesn’t win now.

  68. vodkabarbie says

    It’s Donald Trump being bullied because his tiny baby hands, but the blind can’t say that because it would give it away.

  70. Nataliexyz says

    Future Victim: Hillary Clinton
    Bully: Donald Trump

    I think Hillary will spin any way she can get away with. The woman has no shame.

  71. Goodgrief says

    Future Victim: Ted Cruz, he is a minority by race and appearance, he looks like Grandpa Munster, or Hillary Clinton, she is a minority by gender and maybe age.

    Bully: Donald Trump

  75. alulubug says

    Oh geesh. Is this Beyoncé and her god awful Lemonade thing ? Never a fan and even less so now.

  76. mkc333 says

    CLEARLY Hillary Clinton. I’m tired of being told that I should support her because I’m a woman.

  79. DreaDay681 says

    I think this is Hillary, she’s a “victim” because she’s a female.

    Trump is the bully. He IS a bully, so that part is true.

    No, I don’t think it will work.

  80. nonsequiturchica says

    Future Victim: Donald Trump

    Bully: Hillary Clinton

    Optional: Trump doesn’t have a chance in hell.

  82. scumby says

    Victim-poor helpless woman Hillary Clinton
    Bully: Trump

    Only the stupid-which is a lot-will buy Hillary’s victimhood

  83. gossipzillaisback says

    Future Victim: Hillary
    Bully: Trump

    optional: No, she won’t be able to convince people about being both a victim and a leader. But she will win the elections nonetheless #imwithher

    By the way, considering the outrageous things Trump has said, it does sound like a winning strategy to portray him for the bully he is.

  84. Rottweiler says

    Future Victim: Hillary claiming that she is a female victim as all women are, but she didn’t some to the defense of the women Slick Willy was raping.

    Bully: Trump

    Hillary

  85. afternoondelight says

    Future victim: Hillary Clinton
    Bully: Donald Trump
    No, she won’t be able to pull it off.

  86. celebiddy says

    Clearly hildawg trying to play the victim card since she doesnt stand a chance against trump. Not gonna work!!! No one wants a drainbow with victim mentality to run the country. She is an atrocious human being. #TRUMP2016

    (I’m a 24 year old female living in one of americas most liberal cities fwiw)

    • Jester says

      Very good possibility. I thought a lot differently when I was younger and didn’t understand, nor wanted to, at a young age.

    • celebiddy says

      And just to be clear, jester, i am very informed and interested. I have watched every single debate (on both sides) from start to finish. I have watched nearly every town hall and interview of all the current candidates. I watch a variety of news channels and read a variety of websites. Despite being raised by extreme liberals in an extremely liberal city, i was finally able to open my eyes and consider the other perspective on things. And guess what? The right side resonated with me so much…

    • celebiddy says

      Don’t be ageist. I only included my name and gender since according the the left-wing media machine trump doesn’t stand a chance with young females. (Especially university graduates) And i was actually a life long democrat who finally saw the error of my ways and re-registered republican last year.

    • jbpeaches23 says

      I’m sorry, but “the error of her ways”?? She can’t be wise because she’s “only” 24? I’m a 37 year old female, and I also believe Hillary is a poor choice for President. I’m not a Trump supporter, but celebiddy is certainly on the “right” side to me!

    • celebiddy says

      Thank you!!! The number of times a person has gone around the sun doesn’t indicate how mature/thoughtful/intelligent they are. And rand paul was actually my #1 pick but since he dropped out i’m all for trump to shake things up! As long as we get a republican president, though, i will be happy 🙂

    • vajislav says

      Celebiddy, stop watching the debates because they don’t mean a damn thing. Check the way the candidate voted on issues important to you in the past, read the minutes of the important meetings they attend, See which functions they attend and who they support. It’s so easy to lie at debates and they do lie). Tv debates are all gesturing and fake charm.

    • Nataliexyz says

      Good for you! I love to hear a young person who is involved and interested in the future of our country. Hillary will be a disaster. I’m not a Trump fan, but I will vote for him. Like you, I was a Rand Paul supporter. I would actually vote for Trump 10x before I would vote for Hillary. I’ve loathed the sight and sound of her, and her faux husband, since the 90s. What a distasteful “husband and wife”, and their daughter is another huge joke. Don’t get me started.

    • High Steppa says

      Right on celebiddy! I am also a female (older than you) and I am not fooled by Hillz and her “victim” mentality by constantly playing the gender card. I vote with my brain, NOT my lady parts!

  87. Ginger says

    Oh Hilary. What a sad approach. If my loved one was a Bengazi victim, I would hit the ceiling.

    • Dogofblue says

      But Hillary’s aren’t the same. Come on, you have to be a die hard to support either one of these two fakers.

  91. JussstSaying says

    This is about Trump. He’s gonna dig his heels into this whole ‘reverse racism/reverse sexism’ schtick because he has no public policy experience or concrete plans to take on Clinton. He knows he can’t push her around like he did the Republicans. It’s already started with him accusing her of relying on the ‘woman card.’

    • jokerjim65 says

      Really? Trump is the alpha dog of attack dogs. Not a single person would ever think he would try to sell that kind of image, his handlers would never even bring that up. trump is a 100% in your face kind of guy.

      No public policy experience is light years better than the disastrous Arab Spring. Her history in public policy and pathological lying will hurt her more than any of the numerous scandals, real or imagined.

    • butwhatever says

      I think the answer to the blind is Hillary, but Trump does do a fair amount of talking about how everything is rigged, and Megyn Kelly/FOX was unfair to him, and blah blah blah.

    • GoddessPinkAngel says

      JussstSaying -You nailed it! Trump’s playing the ‘everyone is is picking on US’, ‘We’re the REAL victims here’ etc. card. He’s got his supporters believing that he’s one of them. Sister please, his only use for ‘the common man’ is to vault him and his massive ego into the ultimate power position. They’re being played, and they don’t even get the destruction that could be caused by this thin skinned, immature, narcissistic babyman. That. Is. All.

  95. mommagoosed says

    Based on other things I’ve read, this sounds like:

    Victim: Hillary Clinton

    “Bully”: Bernie Sanders

    Optional: Oh, sure, they can convince some people because we (in general) seem to believe things on face value, anyway, without researching it for ourselves.

    • lagally says

      Why do we want a victim as President?
      Also, as a woman I cannot forget how she bullied bill’s alleged rape victims
      Ugh
      Enough with the dynasties
      Either Sanders or Trump!
