As a supporter of Hillary Clinton, it is frustrating to see her campaign bogged down with the same questions for almost two years now. Any objective assessment of her ability to do function as a president will show that she is more qualified than the best that the republican party can ever produce, at least for now. It doesn’t matter whether it’s John Kasich, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio or anyone else. President Obama is absolutely correct when he said that there has never been anyone more qualified for the office than Hillary Clinton.
But her campaign is bogged down by this hunker-down mentality, trying to wait out the election, thus giving Donald Trump – the most reviled, racist and xenophobic candidate of our lifetime – hope, albeit a faint hope that he could demagogue his way into the oval office. For someone with an army of brilliant legal and political savvy minds as campaign strategists, it is political stupidity to continue to follow this flawed strategy that has damaged her political brand. If this campaign is properly managed, she should be up by as many as 20 points by now because her opponent is a bumbling idiot who does not know what he’s talking about and who she has properly branded as unfit for the office.

The Press is running away with Trump’s talking points on this issue and as long as it continues, the perception of her as untrustworthy will continue to “dog”
