9. "crush their souls"? really? is this the best turn-of-phrase for the situation, or even top-10?

And that's the active part of this sentence: “We’re going to win in November, and then we’re going to crush their souls as it relates to the extremism that they are trying to unleash on the American people.”

Far from sounding tough and resolute, this assertion comes across as weak and pathetic. Whenever you couple some grandiose movie villain shit like "we’re going to crush their souls" with a vague squiggly explanatory clause like "...as it relates to blah blah blah...", well, among other things, you're diluting the initial impact of your power statement.

Fine if we want to "bring it", but maybe hire some editors to go over the public stuff?
