She'll rely on an outside group to pummel him, while keeping her distance. New research says it'll work.
...This year, in her coming face-off with Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton needs to do what George W. Bush did back then (with the swiftboaters): Find a way to take the opponent down, hard, but without voters connecting her to the attacks.
Meanwhile, the candidate who benefited from the “swiftboating,” President George W. Bush, suffered no real blowback from ads that smeared a decorated war veteran on his behalf. Voters—other than angry Kerry supporters—didn’t hold Bush responsible for the sketchy commercial that did so much to ensure his reelection. That explains why Clinton’s anointed super PAC, Priorities USA, will be the one hammering Donald Trump throughout the summer and fall, rather than Clinton’s own campaign. The covert assault began this week, when Priorities unleashed its first two televised attack ads hammering Trump in the battleground states of Ohio, Virginia, Florida, and Nevada. They show Trump swearing, promising to defund Planned Parenthood, assessing a woman’s “fat ass,” and talking about blood “coming out” of Megyn Kelly.
Brace yourself for months more of such ads: Priorities is sure to continue using Trump’s own words against him, in various and damning combinations. And why wouldn’t they? He makes it so easy, and it’s all right there, on Twitter and on tape, ready to be spliced into something that sounds even more revolting than the original.

I think you should spell clan with a “c” in this case to avoid misinterpretation.
Did you notice my humble apology a few posts later?
I sincerely hope she will pay for this, in this world or the next. Truly evil.
Thank you for the reminder of the facts, FRiend.
Yes but Hillary is also Scots-Irish. Say what you want about her and Bill but they are brawlers. Rough and ready or down and dirty they fight. Which is why many are hoping that Trump may be that person for the right. They want their own brawler in the ring. My first choice was in the nominating circus so FORWARD HO TRUMP!
Haha well the swiftboat comparison shows they still don’t get it. Swift boat worked cause it was true. Didn’t matter who said it. A by thing they say about trump will fall flat cause they will lie.
FORWARD HO TRUMP!
Sorry, missed it.
