Clinton is following the advice that when your opponent is busy defeating himself, you stand aside and let him.

Trump continues to mishandle golden opportunities because he can't stay on message and can't stop counter-attacking straw men. Clinton doesn't have to say a word, the media will do it for her as long as Trump gives them a large standing target.

Oh, so you prefer sHitlery.

What straw men is Trump attacking? Every criticism I’ve ever heard him say attacks a legitimate target. Maybe you could give an example of not staying on target, not familiar with that either despite watching dozens of his speeches and interviews.

Are you sure you’re referring to Donald J. Trump, and not some other guy named Trump?

I understand your point, but do not agree with the premise. IMHO, the reality is that for the first time in a long, long while the left are afraid. They are afraid because Trump acts in a way they didn't anticipate having to deal with. He has the capacity to shatter the illusions they've spent decades to create and nurture, and that is specifically because he refuses to play by the ‘script’.

In all honesty, what he should be doing is tripling down on the aggressive go for the jugular truths he told during the primaries, only ramp them up exponentially. Why? Because what he said was the truth.

No matter who was the Republican candidate. No matter what their position and how poised they were with politically correct and non-inflammatory speech, they would have been equally vilified, without a doubt. The difference is that while the other side would not have had to worry about a countering straight right or hook over the jab that would level them, now with Trump they do have to worry. It will unnerve them.
