Never mind the doubters, Hillary Clinton has two weapons to attack Donald Trump with. 1) Barack Obama. 2) Her ability to surgically dissect his lack of foreign policy credentials. Bruce Wolpe writes.
Many - if not most - Democrats have been very worried, even as Hillary Clinton steadily closes on the nomination, that she was not withstanding the headwinds that have been hitting her campaign.
There's been lethargy among her supporters; young voters going overwhelmingly to Sanders; women unenthusiastic; Sanders with a bigger lead over Trump in head-to-head polls than Clinton; and the prospect she could lose the last big primary in California on Tuesday.
Obama lost California in '08 and still clinched the nomination; HRC will, at worst, do the same, but that would not be the uplifting coda to the primaries that she wants.
And Democrats have also been worried about whether Clinton can really take on The Trump. Yes, she has garnered 12.9 million Democratic votes in the primaries (to Sanders' 9.9 million), and has outpaced Trump's 11.5 million. But the overall Republican turnout to date has been 26.3 million to 22.8 million for the Democrats. So who will be energised more when the movement-oriented Sanders is out of the play?

“Surgical” Hillary?
What are they smoking down-under?
Kangaroo scat?
Oh, no! The crusty pantsuit of doom!

Hillary’s foreign affair credentials amount to treason
A state department posting as an ambassador to a friendly country consists of little more than hosting parties and greeting people. I met Walter Mondale at such a function when he was Clinton's Ambassador to Japan. Any one of us actual doers in the room could have told you more about doing business in Japan than Mondale, who didn't even know the language beyond a few simple greetings.
But we listened politely, let him pretend to be the expert, and shook his hand in the reception line and thanked him for his support.
Trump is the guy with the club.
Her foreign policy is the biggest disgrace in our nation’s history.
Aces?
More like Jokers.
The "cunning" is taken care of...
LOL. Yeah, you bank on that Bruce. Hitlery has GREAT foreign policy accomplishments.
more like a deuce in the hole
Did he list any accomplishments?
Pray America wakes
Lol...she’s going to reset this race like she did with the Russians. Oh wait...
“Blah, blah, blah.
Go Trump.
:D”
Bumperoonie
He didn’t do so well the last time he tried to lambast Trump.
