That worked in the last war, not the upcoming one.

Trump will be made to answer counters from not only Clinton, but Obama, Biden, Reid, Warren, even Sanders eventually, and a host of Dem Senate candidates that will have their GOP counterparts in Blue states begging Trump to stop killing them. And instead of that counter being done for the benefit of 16 of the weakest candidates possible attacking each other as well as Trump, it will be highly-coordinated and focused on one single alternative that, by the way, isn't Ted Cruz.

-Actually, all he has to do is convince Americans that he'll be a little more competent than Hillary and a little less corrupt. Shouldn't be hard.

Besides, Clinton's best polling usually comes in when everyone's attention is elsewhere. The more Americans see of the Shillary, the less they like her.

I think that Trump's only chance is a strongly negative FBI report on Clinton.

Haven't the "death panels" come for you yet?

This might be good advice for Bernie:

I wonder at this point what going all the way to the convention would do for Sanders' movement. The platform means very little. If he can negotiate with Clinton regarding her appointments, that would be more useful. Sanders' following already has some clout for deal-making.

Donald has teflon and charisma, but the amount of lies he peddles, and the huge amount of deception and fraud he carries on, should be exposed too, and so there are limits on how far Trump can bamboozle. Hillary's knowledge and intelligence regarding policy compared to Donald's is a chasm that may not get unnoticed either.

The more she is smeared with propaganda, that is. All of the charges against her are false. She got lots of attention as Secretary of State, and she was popular and seemingly unchallenged after that role.

"...The State Department had previously told Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) that it could not find any backups of Pagliano’s email as part of a congressional probe in December, but its acknowledgment of the missing files on Monday nonetheless inflamed criticism of the agency’s recordkeeping practices...


Funny how that always seems to happen whenever the Obamanation gets in a jam..."

Clinton and her allies have repeatedly called the probe a routine “security inquiry.”
But Director James Comey told reporters that wasn’t an accurate description...
