Trump, blessed with more raw political cunning than any 2016 contender (including Clinton) hasn't yet won a single contest, but he's got good reason to pretend it's already down to just the Democrat and him. That strategy allows him to talk past his Republican opponents, legitimizes him as his party's frontrunner, gives him pushback against the argument he'd get creamed in a general election, and lets him dry-erase the fact that he flirted with not-so-conservative politics and the Clinton Clan.
For Clinton, Trump is theoretically a useful character – a cartoonish embodiment of Republicans' unfitness to govern. In reality he's too big, too loud and too cutting for anybody to ignore.
With that in mind, here are five ways the tawny-thatched GOP frontrunner is messing up the best-laid plans of his buttoned-down Democratic counterpart.
1. He's going there on Bill Clinton. 2. He's beating the same media that's beating her up 3. He's fun 4. He's dumbing everything down 5. He's a yooge distraction

He sent he a subscription to an exotic ‘whiskey of the month’ club?

Wow. Lots of backhanded “compliments” in that pile of garbage.
>> raw political cunning
That’s not at all a bad description of what Trump brings to the table.
B-b-but.... Trump is only in the election so Hillary can win! It’s all over FR, so it must be true!!!
What media is beating up on Hillary, I haven’t seen any of that. I also don’t believe he’s “dumbing everything down” nor is he a “distraction.”
“Trump, blessed with more raw political cunning than any 2016 contender (including Clinton) hasn’t yet won a single contest...”
It’s slanted BS like this that drives me crazy. The phrase “hasn’t yet won a single contest” implies there were contests to be won which Trump has not won.
It should be obvious by now that Trump can handle it and Hillary can’t. Hillary can’t go merrily on her way counting on staged appearances and interviews. she has to answer to Trump no matter what and she can’t.
At this point the stench of Hillary’s decomposing campaign should be obvious.
I'm not a Politico fan - but this was funny...
The Donald tweets are brilliant. He can speak directly to Hitlery, challenge her, make her nervous, and basically control what her campaign focuses on. She has already assured him that she won’t respond to him (brilliant!), so he has a green light. The fact that the rest of the country will be made aware of her past and how corrupt she is is a bonus!
I don’t think she’ll be able to stay in this race for long. Trump is brilliant to take his focus off of the other candidates and get right after Hitlery (and Bill). He’s showing the American people that he’s determined to defeat her, thereby gaining even more popularity among both Republicans and Independents.
I found a piece that ‘kinda’ beats up a little itty bitty bit on Hillary...

from link;
“...as Bill Cosby’s wife, Camille, encouraged her hub’s carnal appetites by looking the other way as he strayed, Hillary is complicit in Bill’s philandering by attacking the targets of his wandering eye.
I find it reprehensible that the woman who has set herself up as the Woman’s Candidate for the nation’s highest office thinks nothing of trashing her own sisters in her zeal for power. She reputedly was the brains behind efforts to quell the “bimbo eruptions” that threatened to derail Bill’s first presidential campaign.
She once dubbed Lewinsky a “narcissistic loony toon,” a close pal wrote in her journal.”
I’m surprised Politico didn’t demand Trump be arrested and prosecuted for Treason Against the Sovereign.

It’s her only option. She has to try. Hillary loses support every time she speaks publically. Putting all her crimes and lies aside, she’s still a very unlikable person.
We were lead to believe the elites in the uni party and their sycophant media were the “cool” people. The High School clique we all wanted to be part of, but were never able.
Donald just sauntered into the cafeteria, elbowed his way into their exclusive table, unwrapped his lunch, started eating, flirting with the girls, telling jokes, and worst of all, he waved all of us side liners over with him.
Suddenly the “in crowd” is show for what a bunch of losers they are. Now it's us having fun at their expense, not the other way around.
“Hey Donald, you want part of my peanut butter sandwich.?”
That’s an obstacle she’ll never overcome. Once the results of the FBI investigation are leaked and more info goes public about how she sold the office of the Secretary of State through her foundation, her likability will be subzero.
I Really don’t think that she needs the help.
