AMY CHOZICK, ALEXANDER BURNS, and JONATHAN MARTIN write at the NY Times:
Democrats could hardly believe their good fortune last month when it became clear that Hillary Clinton was headed to a general election showdown with Donald J. Trump. Mr. Trump carried so much baggage and had insulted so many voting blocs that some Clinton supporters began to imagine a landslide.
But early optimism that this would be an easy race is evaporating. In the corridors of Congress, on airplane shuttles between New York and Washington, at donor gatherings and on conference calls, anxiety is spreading through the Democratic Party that Mrs. Clinton is struggling to find her footing.
While she enjoys many demographic advantages heading into the fall, key Democrats say they are growing worried that her campaign has not determined how to combat her unpredictable, often wily Republican rival, to whom criticism seldom sticks and rules of decorum seem not to apply.
Mrs. Clinton is pressing ahead with a conventional campaign, echoing the 2012 themes used against the Republican nominee that year, Mitt Romney. But Mr. Trump is running a jarringly different crusade: accusing her husband, former President Bill Clinton, of rape; proposing that the country conduct brutal methods of torture; and suggesting that South Korea and Japan be permitted to develop nuclear arms. Prominent Democrats say a more provocative approach is needed....

The fun’s just getting started. See my tag line. From the Vlad Tepes blog site
good one! :-)
Did you know that you can push the ABUSE button (and request removal of that post) to get rid of all these DUPES ?
Just a suggestion.
Holy Toledo...you sure have the goods on the crooked Clintons! lol
WINNING!
This was a phrase used by Charlie Sheen when he was having his bouts with drugs, sex, rock & roll.
Then the whole roof fell in on him, getting sued for knowing he was infected with HIV and not telling his sexual partners, the series of drug rehab treatments seemed wholly ineffective, and he could not even get an underwear endorsement any more. All this after he ended his association with Chuck Lorre, and the upshot over the “Two and a Half Men” finale.
Herself should be “winning” so well.
And she hasn't even gone against Trump yet.
Love it.

So Bill Clinton raped Trump?
Who hires these idiot NYT writers?
Juanita Broaddrick accused Bill Clinton of rape.
No wonder the WH thinks the press is full of morons.
How about a little shoe-leather journalism, NYT?
When you did your THOROUGH (I'm certain) investigation of Ms. Broaddrick's claims, what did you find out, NYT?
Fascinating article. Totally exposes Hillarys campaign as a stodgy behemoth of last century ideas and tactics, slow to respond, petrified of doing the wrong thing, and clueless about how to respond to someone whos as honest and fearless as Donald Trump.
The Democrats entire strategy during the last decades has basically been to attack the Republicans by using the Republicans timidness and fearfulness of being viewed as non-PC against themselves. Obviously that singular tactic wont work against Trump and they now have no idea in the world what to do.
Given that the Democrats dont know how to attack Trump and essentially have no practical platform or practical ideas that they can use to convince people that they themselves are worthy of governing, theyre screwed. Totally screwed.
Be a good Republican. Roll over and play dead. Like all who came before you.
And the entire rest of the article is Democrats fretting that Clinton is too slow, too traditional, and doesn't know how to respond to Trump.
Dude... go back... read Harley’s posts again slowly... for comprehension...
Obama defined Romney. Trump is defining Hillary! Yuuuuge difference.
"He's wily, like his old man..."
Wow, memories!!

Translation about rules of decorum: He refuses to sit back while the other side lies and then he actually ignores threats of being labeled as "mean-spirited/racist/homophobic" and hits back with numerous inconvenient facts - over and over and over again.
