How Hillary Clinton will bait Donald Trump into making even more women hate him

So let's think of what a general election between Clinton and Trump is going to be like. Hard-fought? Absolutely. Entertaining? Goodness yes. Ugly? Count on it.

And if you had to predict what form that ugliness will take, the most likely prospect is that Trump is going to go after Clinton with some of the most sexist attacks we've ever seen in a presidential race.

It won't be the product of careful calculation; in fact, I'm sure his advisers will be frantically trying to convince him to rein in his vulgar impulses. But Trump won't be able to help himself. It's just who he is.

This is very much in line with Trump's history of boorish behavior, which you're probably familiar with. But the key point is that when Trump is challenged by a woman, he lashes back harshly, often by attacking her looks, calling her crazy, or making some other kind of sexist remark.

The anti Trump commercials are going to be awesome and deadly. That's why the GOP is in a full blown panic right now.

Republican Party. He's pretty much destroyed the Republican Party all throughout his scorched-Earth campaign, and you can bet on it that Hillary will capitalize fully and in any which way she can on his past mistakes - but in a smart and strategic way.

She's got this.

Her campaign will be churning out oppo ads against Trump, smacking him down with his own words. Just think about all the groups he has maligned, the individuals -- high and low -- that he has bad mouthed and insulted. The possibilities boggle the mind, then factor in his hilarious comments on the Trump Foreign Policy Comedy-palooza.

into saying really horrible stuff – as has been shown already. He's like a child who can't help himself. I think that's a major weak point for him – he has no self-control.

Trust that there will be enough coverage & exposure as to what is at the heart of this case, as well as plenty of damage control.
News was talking about it this morning.

This shouldn't damage him too much since it is a civil suit only, but it will make for political fodder.
