that will last one is from the christian science monitor and the monitor even went so far to put the shellacking on their top ten political quotes list for 2010. that word shellacking was not a phrase that got used in politics before president obama used it at the very high profile moment in his presidential press conference the day after the 2010 midterm elections. that very, very, very conscious shall midterm election. he used that word shellacking. i will a it again, shellacking. the washington post reports today the only other time that republican presidential front-runner donald trump has been known to use the word, forgive me, schlonged was in 2011 when he was talking about that same midterm election in which president obama very famously described it as having been shellacked and everybody talked about that midterm
famously described it as having been shellacked and everybody talked about that midterm election using the word shellacking. donald trump in 2011 tried to talk about the 2010 shellacked midterms and instead he came out with the term schlonged. he said that a particular republican candidate in the 2010 elections had been schlonged, a republican candidate losing to a democratic candidate and it was a republican female candidate losing to a democratic female candidate. he said she got schlonged. maybe this is like a malan prop reaching for the word failure. i once got in the an argument with a guy who was he will lie parked in front of my house. the argument went on and on and on and it s getting more and more heated and it s not going to end well and i can tell it s not going to end well and regretting i m in the argument.
i know where she went. it s disgusting. i don t want to talk about it. no. it s too disgusting. don t say it. it s disgusting. he didn t stop there. he also brought up the 2008 presidential race and used some colorful language that would make grandma blush. even in her race to obama, she was going to beat obama. i don t know who would be worse. i don t know. how does it get worse? but she was going to beat she was favored to win and she got schlonged. she lost. i mean, she lost. today the communications director for the clinton campaign tweeted this. we are not responding to trump. everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women should. trump versus clinton. you can see it s on full force. but it wasn t always this way. jeff zeleny looks at how they have gone from seemingly friends to foes. reporter: it s the tale of
