Hillary, You Need To Stop Attacking Trump
Dear Hillary,
In only a few days we'll finally know which of our nation's two candidates has won the presidency. No secret that I'm rooting for you, and that I have no earthly use for Donald Trump, but I'm begging you to stop talking about him. Right now.
We know what he is. We know how you feel about him. He's vile, he's an opportunist, he's so far from being a logical choice for a viable candidate we can't stop thinking, you and I and everyone in our camp, about how impossible, how improbable his rise to being this close to the presidency really is. We're shocked. Okay, we're shocked. But there it is, and the next million words about it and a million words after that won't change a thing.
Stop obsessing over him. Forget about him altogether. You need to spend the rest of your valuable time convincing voters you feel their pain and, what's more, you've got pretty good ideas about how to heal.
We want to know exactly what you plan to do about trade, joblessness, poverty, health care, education, infrastructure, the military, the environment and everything else that impacts our daily lives. We need to feel comfortable with handing you the keys to the highest office in the land, and it's obvious a whole lot of us are not there yet.
