Why does Trump get away with attacking Hillary Clinton as a private citizen?

Why does Hillary Clinton act like she is afraid to attack Trump directly? He is the instigator, she needs to show she is the finisher. Trump has more to lose than Hillary Clinton in a public feud. Hillary Clinton supporters should come to her defense in an organized manner. Trump is still calling her "crooked Hillary" in public and leading, "Lock her up!" chants. Don't get mad. Get even!

1. I completely disagree

HRC is too smart to be baited into a war of words with Trump. What would it achieve besides agitating negative emotions? It is non-productive. We already know that Trump is a malignant narcissist, bully, misogynist, gangster, and traitor. Getting into a war of words with him just feeds his ugly ego and provides entetainment for his ugly supporters. Why should she set herself up to be his bobo doll punching bag? Hopefully HRC has better things to do with her time and energy.

2. Excellent point! He feeds on stuff like this. He would love to have her attack him with words.

I just don't think the majority of Americans comprehend how mentally unstable Trump is. The guy is literally insane. The mental heath professionals do, but not many speak up. This guy needs to be removed from office, but many in the GOP are just as sinister as he. The US is in a horrific state of affairs.

...to voice their concern about health care need to have the same come to Jesus talk with their reps about the prez lack of fitness for the job and the DANGER he poses!

6. To me it makes her look weak and afraid to put it all on the line to protect herself.

Plus it makes it seem that his attacks against her are true. It makes it seem as if Trump's attacks are truthful.

.....does he have free rein to slander private citizens?

5. Afraid, my ass!

Hillary Clinton has been a target since her time at the Watergate prosecutors' table. Then, she was the First Lady of Arkansas, the First Lady of the United States, a US senator, our US Secretary of State, and the first woman to win the popular vote in a US presidential election.

Ans she's still standing.

Afraid? Try again.

7. Clinton has to attack Trump back directly.
