The entire election is going to depend on Trump making Hillary respond. She has been hiding in plain site and hasn't answered any questions. Her rallies and commercials say nothing but "Protect Social Security, Protect Women, Protect(add issue here)". Can Trump start now or is there election rules regarding direct targeting of the other party? I seem to recall monies can't be spent until after the Convention(s). What say you?
I wonder if Hillary being that kind of a real serious disappointment as a candidate on her own is going to be a factor as well?
We do not want Trump to attack Hitlary, until she gets the nomination. We do not want bernie to get the nom. In fact we want a whole gaggle of bernie supporters feeling cheated by Hitlary stealing the election.
Trump is a counter-puncher.
Her best bet is NOT TO say anything about him.
As we used to say before a schoolyard fight, “one is scared, and the other is glad of it.”
To paraphrase Ronnie Milsap...
Anyday, now.... I will hear you say...
Goodbye, Hilllary.....
LOL, you said Bernie would get the nomination. Thanks for the laugh. Didn’t you hear that Pedo Joe was ready to go? Bernie is going to have to run as an independent ... I hope.
Trump should continue to attack Hillary continually until She’s thankful that an inquisition from the FBI will give her some quiet time.
He’s not going to try to make her respond - he’s going to provide his own narrative about her and let her stew in her own silence about it.
Otherwise she’ll just clam up anyway. This way, whenever she does finally talk, she’s always responding to his narrative, or letting his narrative stand because of her silence. And “his” narrative will be nothing but a hammering on everything she’s done. After all, it’s not like he doesn’t have a target rich environment - it seems every damn illegal or immoral scheme on the planet in the last quarter-century has Hillary’s hands in it. It’s astonishing, in fact, how BUSY she’s been.
It won’t work. Trump is already on record as saying, I’ll paraphrase for clarity, “I’m going to use her as a punching bag”.
What I’d do: go positive for now, building up support for Trump. Let Bernie be our attack dog against Hillary for now. Then, once it’s settled for sure that Hillary will be the nominee, THEN unload.
He could have started months age instead of going after his fellow republicans.
Already started ...
"Trump should continue to attack Hillary continually until She’s thankful that an inquisition from the FBI will give her some quiet time."
Clinton is the prototype of a tightly-controlled, overly-scripted politician. Every appearance or speech she gives is rehearsed and carefully planned out ahead of time.
It won't take much to knock her off her game. And there is no way she will be able to keep up with Trump. He's going to wear her out.

Trump can start to unload on her now.
The SuperPACs can place ads, and obviously Trump can unload on her in interviews. It’s just that the Trump for President can’t specifically address her by name.
Today
Refer to TS e-mail as a felony (because its provable in court)
Refer to Benghazi as Treason (because it can’t be defended)
Cite her Second Amendment threat
Cite her firing from Watergate because she’s a liar
Note she has the voice and temperament of a Dictator
Note that she can’t finish a debate without a coughing fit.
Trump’s present task is to use the interval to consolidate support within the GOP.
He can start his attacks on her in earnest in the middle of the Democratic convention, which she will be limping into.
Let Sanders do the anti-Hillary work for a little while. It’s free!
Compare "Making America Great Again" with "Fighting for You." I will take greatness over fighting every day. Trump plays chess.
Not too hard just yet.
Give some cover fire for Bernie to potentially make some trouble. This is the time to set up narratives and frame her to the public.
The heavy artillery is better positioned down the field, and kept at the ready for when Hillary comes into range.
