Not advocating this. But just keeping thinking

About the double standard and how much shit Trump gets away with saying, simply because he has said so much shit already.

I wish there was something crazy that Clinton could say sometimes, let everybody freak out, and then say, "See! See how much you're freaking out about what I just said. The press lets Trump get away with much worse without so much as a whimper of protest. Double Standard!"

Of course, I can't think of anything that's simultaneously crazy while avoids offending a huge swathe of the population.
