In the next few months she will be attacked viciously by the Republican candidates. All 18 or however many of them there are. They are going to try to make her run around in circles defending herself.
What she needs to do is only respond directly to the attacks from Jeb Bush. This will marginalize all the others and make them get even more desperate with their attacks. They will get so crazy that pundits, talk show hosts, social media, etc. will pile on and show them as the fools they are and crush them. Then all she will have to do is beat Jeb Bush, who so far is making W look like the smart one.
I may be wrong, she probably has plenty of smart people working with her who may have a better strategy. But if I was at their table, the above would be my advice. Just my two cents worth.

Kerry, for one, proved that.

(24,338 posts)But this is different. That attack on Kerry came strictly from the Bush camp. What we are about to see is the entire clown car attacking her. If she tries to defend herself against that, she will look like a chicken with her head cut off. If she ignores it, they will look diminished and diluted.
And you aren't going to see any video of Hillary Clinton windsurfing.

They'll look like the asses they are.
