Let's play campaign manager II
OK, now your're Hillary's campaign manager.
What would you like her to do?
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Let's play campaign manager II
If I'm Hillary's campaign manager, I focus on the following four, and only these four, messages:
1) Remind everyone that Trump is unqualified, and doesn't have the dignity to run the free world
2) Pound home the fact that Trump is a serial misogynist. (Tie this into the SCOTUS and a woman's right to choose)
3) Pound home the fact that Trump is probably racist, or at least bigoted.
4) Keep talking about your vision for the economy, jobs, and wage growth.
You hope by hammering Trump on the first three points, you push him over the edge with a tweet, or something said from the stump that goes viral and provides the knockout blow to his campaign.
I'd also keep Hillary 100% prepped for the final 2 debates. She wants to repeat her drubbing of Trump on Monday night.

I think you're going to see a lot of different United States of America over the next three, four, or eight years. - President Donald J. Trump

Re: Let's play campaign manager II
Good ideas, Lager.
I was going to suggest that she crow about the recent good economic news. But, the recovery has been uneven enough that most people in the change group are not feeling the good news.
I would also like to see a spirited defense of free trade, but that is an electoral loser.
But Trump is a misogynist. He cannot hide it from women voters.
He has appealed to racism and xenophobia.
He has displayed absolutely zero intellectual curiosity about the issues of our time.
Trump is in over his head, and bullying and bluster just won't cut it.
Just keep hammering on the fact that he is unqualified, and unfit.
The worst nominee put forward by a major party in modern American history.

Re: Let's play campaign manager II
Trump seems particularly vulnerable to embarrassment about his business and women.
He gets obsessed, can't let go of it,,,,, and takes his eyes off the prize.
Find another sympathetic figure for him to attack and look bad.
Suggest that he isn't as successful a business man as he projects.
Yea, its not exactly inspiring.
But in an election year where knowledge and expertise seem unimportant to a large number of voters,,,,,,,,

"He gets obsessed, can't let go of it,,"
And people think it would be a good idea to give him control of the most powerful military machine on the planet and a nuclear arsenal capable of destroying the world dozens of times over.
Terrifying. 
If you make yourself miserable trying to make others happy that means everyone is miserable.
