WASHINGTON (AP) -- Hillary Clinton has a message for Donald Trump: keep on talking.

She's just weeks away from wrapping up the Democratic presidential nomination, and friends, aides and supporters describe a candidate who isn't particularly rattled by what she expects will be Trump's increasingly direct attacks on her marriage and husband's personal indiscretions.

In fact, Clinton believes that she can turn Trump's deeply personal assaults to her benefit, they say, particularly among suburban women who could be crucial to her hopes in the fall. Her plan is never to engage in any back-and-forth over the scandals. Instead, she'll merely cast him as a bully and talk about policy.

Oh the poor dear granny
Trumps verbal assaults are so deeply personal
Surely all you suburban white women can be equally insulted by this vulgar attack on your femininity

Wait, nevermind.

Her plan is never to engage in any back-and-forth over the scandals.

That plan usually arises when you know already it's folly to engage further. If it would serve her purpose to "engage", you really think she wouldn't? What a useless bag of excrement she is.

They are pretending this is the only vector from which the attacks will come.

Instead she'll be swarmed.

Calling a lying criminal a lying criminal is not a personal attack in my view.

Trump is a counter puncher. If she continues slandering him he will continue calling her on it. Hill is her own worse enemy.

Yes. As a defenseless Hitlery keeps on getting pummeled. I guess she believes her only weapon is to claim she's a "victim" and Trump a "bully." She's relying on the sympathy-factor and a compliant liberal media to sell it.

She's clearly unable to answer the bell vs. Trump because the truth is, Hitlery is slow, dumb, inarticulate, and outclassed by Trump. She loses on style and substance.

YUGE TKO WIN-WIN for Trump.
