The entire election is going to depend on Trump making Hillary respond. She has been hiding in plain site and hasn't answered any questions. Her rallies and commercials say nothing but "Protect Social Security, Protect Women, Protect(add issue here)". Can Trump start now or is there election rules regarding direct targeting of the other party? I seem to recall monies can't be spent until after the Convention(s). What say you?
Trump is doing a rally in West Virginia today. I expect him to start hitting her ASAP, today I expect it to be on coal and her comments.
As for to go after hard or wait.....
Go after her hard, because of the Super Delegates she has the Dems nomination wrapped up. So having Trump & Bernie hitting her will be great.
Trump should hold off until Hillary is officially nominated.A lot could happen before that,an indictment,a killer stroke(we should be so lucky),or who knows what.
“He could have started months age instead of going after his fellow republicans.”
Yeah....because those guys were totally not running 70 MILLION dollars in attack ads against Trump.
Every Hillary ad that I have seen so far has been about punishing corporations and industries.
Well, since soon there will be only Trump and Hillary - no excuse for not releasing those Wall Street speech transcripts.
Trump probably didn’t give paid speeches, so step up Hillary!
Yes. Wound her enough to give Bernie enough life to get to the Democrat convention. Let them beat each other to pieces while we sit back and laugh.
Trump is the quintessential marketing maven. He’s a natural born promoter.
He’s a counterpuncher. He will only hammer her after she makes some feckless charge at him. Then, look out below!
Oh please. You battle where you are, you don’t cross the finish line until you get there.
When Trump does open up on Satan’s daughter it has to be thermonuclear. Anything less will be deflected by her fifth-column lefist media sycophants.
Trump rally tonight in West Virginia and rally tomorrow in Nebraska.
The danger posed by any protracted bun fight between Trump and Clinton is that large numbers of voters will tune both of them out and turn to some as yet unannounced moderate third party choice. While that person can expect a very hostile response here, even on a very good day Free Republic can hardly imagine that it represents more than ten to twenty per cent of the electorate so that hostility cannot be assumed to extend much further out into the electorate either.
I’m not endorsing that outcome, by the way, in fact I am not even a resident or a voter. I would be hoping for Trump against either Clinton or Sanders and any RINO type moderate. About the only option that I would support other than Trump might be an independent Cruz run or the libertarian option but realistically those can’t win either.
But to the narrower question of “unloading” on Hillary Clinton, I would just ask people to be realistic and ask, where is that going to grow the vote? Sure it’s going to be a red meat moment, but beyond that, how does it lead to the White House? Is it not obvious that the great majority of women voters are starting out quite leery of Donald Trump and watching him unloading on a woman candidate is just going to firm up those negatives.
If I were advising Donald Trump, I would tell him to spend the next month creating a very positive campaign theme, with a title that catches the imagination. What does Trump actually represent? what’s the one or two word title, I find the return to greatness theme a bit preposterous, the country is going to need more than one good president to return to greatness after all the damage of the past two or three decades. Perhaps the theme needs to be restoration or reality check. This is what is so badly needed across the political spectrum and at every level (and in every western democracy too) — much, much more realism and a containment of the rapidly spreading virus of political correctness, which is just communism for school teachers.
I have a new name for Trump to call Hillary, “Harridan Hillary”. Look up “Harridan”, it fits.

Donald is FEARLESS and tireless. He knows ALL the dirt on the criminal Hillary.
He WILL NOT let her win after coming this far, no matter what he says about preferring to ‘take the low road’.
When the time is right, he will hit her with ALL of it.
He will SLAUGHTER the criminal Hillary.
A nasty piece of work, who thinks she is better, smarter and more cunning than anyone who has ever walked the earth.
She certainly is a ruthless as they come, unethical is an understatement. Her entire adult life has been one corrupt enterprise after another, with the goal of enrichment, and self aggrandizement at the only objectives.
When hasn’t he? Didn’t he put Bill to bed already?-)
Party monies can’t be spent until after the convention - Trump’s been after her for months.....
Agreed as soon as she wraps up the Dem nomination he can start lambasting her. Its going to be death by a thousand tweets.
