The Only Strategy For Hillary Clinton Is To Scorch The Earth

If Hillary Clinton manages to beat Bernie Sanders, the early primaries have already revealed that there's only one strategy for the general election against a Republican, be it Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, or Ted Cruz: Scorch the earth.

Hillary Clinton is extremely unpopular. People do not like her or want her to be president.

Her only strategy is to destroy the Republican candidate.

The Republican candidate must be prepared to endure the most vicious attacks possible. That is Clinton's only chance.

Trump will be on the offensive.

So is she going to complain he’s too liberal?

Also, I think he’s sent lots of signals that he’s set to scorch back.

When has she ever had another strategy?

Have her eye brows grown back after the last scorching Trump inflicted on her? Clinton wasn’t able to destroy her emails to the point the FBI couldn’t recover them. I figure she’s DOA already.

I agree.

This is a natural area of advantage for Trump. The truth is that the Chicago Alinskyite will never be able to out-Queens Trump.

This is the kind of battle that actually strengthens Trump. In a mutually assured destruction scenario with a third party candidate, the third party candidate will draw votes from her.

A - Scorch the earth. - campaign is the only strategy the Clintons know...

The only reason she didn't do that to Obama in 2008 is they would have lost the black vote forever...

I saw one report Hillary got 6440 votes in Nevada and Sanders 5785. And that slightly more than 12,000 showed up to vote for either her or Sanders.

Trump got over 34,000.

Trump is the Phalanx CIWS of politics.

He’s not my favorite, but he’ll attack the Clintons like a pack of starving coyotes.

She will not fare well in a slug fest with Trump.

It’s been that way in every state so far. The democrat turnout is consistently smaller that the Republican turnout. That would be understandable if Hillary was beating the geriatric commie by 20 or more points in every poll...but she’s not. Comrade Sanders has been neck and neck with her in every race. That should INCREASE turnout. But turnout is down...way down.
