Hillary won't be making the same mistake with Trump as the Republican Party

4. Turning a strength into a liability

The Republicans are beginning to wake up to this strategy. But as the article suggests, the GOP wasted precious time to actually get on top of the oppo research because . . . no one took The Donald seriously. Time is definitely Hillary Clinton's friend in the ultimate take down. The man does not have a political history but he definitely has a History. In fact, I've read that the Dems have spent the last 8-9 months collecting that history and only about 20% of the bad news has surfaced.

The other weapon is ridicule. Anyone who watched John Oliver this past Sunday witnessed a spectacular take down of the Hair that Ate New York. Brilliant and effective. Trump is not the Teflon Don. He's merely portrayed that way for ratings.

I also watched some of the post-election commentary. Of particular note were comments by Ben Ginsberg, a well-known Republican elections lawyer. The GOP will not go quietly into the night; they have certain cards up their sleeves which they will play ruthlessly. Ironic, too. Republicans always bray over the undemocratic nature of Super delegates but in this instance they're quite willing to pull out all the stops, the will of the voters be damned.

Expect fireworks on the horizon.
