Sorry Godzilla, I’d mean you when I said Hillary is Godzilla. I was talking about the other Godzilla.
I think that'd be Bernie, always flapping his wings.
“Clinton appears to be adopting an above the fray tack. Delegating the gutter work to surrogates.”
Actually, this is the conventional approach to Presidential politics: pretend you’re the good guy/gal and let the surrogates do the wet work which can then be plausibly denied if necessary.
Trump on the other hand is anything BUT conventional, and for all practical purposes has no surrogates; thus Trump is both his own good guy and own bad guy, pretty much like all the rest of us who don’t own legions of paid minions to do our dirty work. It’s one of the many reasons Trump is so appealing: despite being a billionaire, he’s actually pretty much like the rest of us in many ways.
Trump’s also going to get almost unlimited airtime (for free mind you), since he’ll go on almost any show at any time. On the other hand, we’re going to see mostly Hillary surrogates, and the few times Hillary appears, it’s going to be only in tightly controlled, friendly venues like “Ellen” where only wymen’s stuff is chatted up. Really, with that dichotomy alone, we pretty much already have game, set, match.
What we have is a match-up with the quintessential conventional political insider Hillary Clinton pitted against the quintessential unconventional political outsider Donald Trump, and things are not really going to go well for Ms. Clinton at all. The people of this country are fed up with conventional political insiders and are way past ready for an unconventional outsider, and Donald Trump fills that bill to a T.
LOL!
