50. My advice for Democrats: Label Trump as the Loose Cannon

Trump will continue to characterize Hillary as Crooked Hillary. Crooked Hillary versus the Bully or the Mean Guy is unlikely to be helpful for Hillary. But, in my opinion, Crooked Hillary versus the Loose Cannon tilts the contest toward Hillary. Crooked can be debated, but every time Trump opens his mouth, most of his history, everything validates the label of Loose Cannon. And, a Loose Cannon is someone who is scary and dangerous.
