I believe we have lost elections in the past because of this sort of thing. Of course, we need a rapid response team. But Hillary should not always be on the defensive, answering these attacks.

She needs to get her own ideas out there. Trump is trying to keep her on the defensive. She shows class and dignity by not responding to his blustering and lies. Let her team decide which crap to answer. Let her surrogates and her ads provide most of those answers.
