Trump we know is the Mudking, but Clinton (Hillary) wants it so bad, she doesn't care how low it goes as long as she wins… despite its negative effect on the morale of our country. However, she's playing it very smart and making sure to have other people do her dirty work for her (like Miss Obama, Alicia Machado)... I've noticed that a lot on Twitter as well, she’ll grab onto other figures who are anti-Trump, popularize their message and then borrow some from the list of Trump enemies turned supporters as messaging to sway the vote from Trump... she could run for election for several years just picking off people off the list of people Trump has made an enemy alone.

In a way, she has no choice, because losing the election to Trump could be worse beyond the effects of a smear campaign… but still, it doesn’t speak to their quality that they have to go to this level just to remain politically viable.

It’s balancing out in a way. During the primaries, it was Trump TV 24/7 and Hillary's running was just an inevitable reality... yeah, whatever she wants to president, what else is new... post-primary she's done a good job at least being front and center with regards to the Trump narrative, though all they still want to talk about is Trump...

It has been said in various news outlets that Steve Bannon and the Trump inner circle wanted to turn Bill Clinton into Bill Cosby but it looks like its the other way round; his candidate is the one with the growing number of charges.

Also note Trumps wikipedia page now has its own subsection on his sexual misconduct; no such section exists on Bill Clintons page. Seems a bit biased IMO.
