I am not a lawyer, but this could be the dumbest language I’ve ever seen. You don’t wait 30 years to make false statements; that means you came up with the lie 30 years ago and never told anyone.

Either the statements are false, or the allegations are old. You can’t allege both.

I would like to see a Democratic organizing group, or a super PAC, put out an ad with the following speech excerpt, which immediately followed Hillary’s comment about the “basket of deplorables.” Run it 24/7 in red and swing states. Show of hands—have you heard this part of the speech yet?

“Now, some of those folks — they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America. But the other basket — and I know this because I see friends from all over America here — I see friends from Florida and Georgia and South Carolina and Texas — as well as, you know, New York and California — but that other basket of people are people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they’re just desperate for change. It doesn’t really even matter where it comes from. They don’t buy everything he says, but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different. They won’t wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroine, feel like they’re in a dead-end. Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well.”
