Ok. So the biggest mistake that was made resulting in Trump as the GOP candidate was [View all]

that the media gave him free air time disproportionally to any of the other candidate. If you really want to hurt Trump, they should have just IGNORED him, not reported on anything outrageous that he was saying...cut away from his speeches and rallies. But that would not be a ratings-getter. So I blame the media for giving us Trump as the GOP candidate more than anything or anyone else.

Hillary should learn from this and basically ignore him on the campaign trail and just talk about her issues and what she intends to do for people. Just ignore him and his bluster no matter what he says. That's on the campaign trail..but when it comes to the debates she should let loose. It is a waste of time for her to respond to his every smear...let her surrogates do the responding or respond in ads but not in person. It diminishes her message to respond on the trail. Let the ads an surrogates do the attacking and responding.
