The Clinton campaign needed just 155 words to completely own Donald Trump.
Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta said in a statement:
​In this week alone, Donald Trump has jeopardized relations with a close ally before setting foot overseas; talked about building a relationship with a reckless dictator; called two diverse American cities more dangerous than war zones like Iraq; and released a list of suggested Supreme Court nominees that includes no people of color, but does include a judge who upheld a law requiring doctors to use scare tactics to impede reproductive rights and another judge who equated homosexual sex to ​’​bestiality,​’​ ​’​pedophilia​’​ and ​’​necrophilia.​’​ And it’s only Wednesday. At this point, it’s hard to keep up with the myriad reasons Trump should not be president, but the divisive policies and nominees, reckless and uninformed foreign policy positions and offensive views of Americans are just a few. Any one of these things would be troubling. All of them together, in just a few days, is further proof that Donald Trump is a risk we can’t afford.​

Podesta could have included Trump’s terrible weekend too because every day has been nothing but bad news for the presumptive Republican frontrunner. The media is so infatuated with too early to mean anything national polls that they are ignoring the daily signals that Trump is sending that he is not fit to be president.
The polls are mirroring the same bounce that John McCain got in 2008 and Mitt Romney got in 2012 after they each clinched the Republican nomination. Hillary Clinton will see the same bounce in her numbers after she officially wraps up the Democratic nomination. The polls are going to change and change again.
The Clinton campaign continues to efficiently hammer away at Donald Trump. The billionaire is getting owned, and the Democratic side is being ruthlessly efficient with the destruction.
