Trump is the master of the 'no publicity is bad publicity' strategy. Hillary needs to point out on every media outlet what her policies are and how they are superior to Trump's policies. Just saying she is the anti Trump is a losing strategy.

that the media isn't covering. For example, the same day that Trump went to Mexico and spoke in Arizona, she spoke at a rally in Ohio and gave a very positive speech. Did you see it? Of course not. It wasn't covered.

That same week she also released an important paper about mental health issues. Did you read it? Probably not.

that most people care about, and not respond to his bullcrap.

This is what has me a bit concerned about the debates: Trump will start spouting his usual nonsensical lies, and she'll get caught up in refuting them, rather than sticking to the subject at hand. Perhaps the moderators of the debates will do their best to keep him on topic.

... during the debates.

She should bust his balls every single day, while also hitting key policy points every single day.

Trump has no policies. He's all bluster.

You beat a bully by standing up to him.

And that's what she's doing.

all we're getting so far are "Trump bad" ads. Needs some "Hillary good" ads that talk about issues.

I suspect we'll be getting more of that shortly.
