I find it annoying that our candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton has to win by basically staying out of

the news. I wish she was dominating the airwaves by making Donald into the laughingstock that he is.

Somebody find her a quality comedy writing team that needs work. I need to laugh this bullshit off.

1. It seems to me that she and her campaign are going with the least possible

disruptive campaign. I am sure they are quite aware that her negatives are extremely high, topped only by Donald Trumps negatives, and are doing their best to fly more or less under the radar. The less attention they can attract the better off they are.

If she gets involved than the negative media will come to her and divide peoples attention. This way it is all Trump all day 24 7.

something like, "Never Interfere With an Enemy While He’s in the Process of Destroying Himself."

She is just doing her normal campaign stuff, day to day, and letting him implode.
I say keep it up!

7. Let Trump burn up all his fuel

The country is quickly tiring of Donald and the polls show it.
He's not making friends or winning votes. Just entrenching the crazies
and repelling everyone else. Hillary has the entire fall when her
message will sound like lovely music compared to Donald's
jackboot lies and bluster. The contrast and the stakes couldn't
be greater.

If the trickle keeps up, Trump will be looking at a huge landslide. The GOP is either going to have to get him off the ballot and not compete in a bunch of states, or else suck it up and have him keep embarrassing the party.

8. He thrives on attention. The less given him, the harder he tries. And the more he injures himself.

She is smart enough to let the orange one disqualify himself. There is a great deal of support for Sec. Clinton which is why she won the primary which by the way is over.

11. I find it kind of hilarious that Trump is destroying himself completely unassisted

his whole post-convention campaign has been a series of unforced errors. Clinton benefits more by looking competent and presidential.
