The columnist’s advice to Hillary: Talk about campaign finance reform.
Yep, that’ll work…Not
A Los Angeles Times columnist worries that Donald Trump’s new nickname for Hillary Clinton, “Crooked Hillary,” may stick — and he suggests she respond by committing to campaign finance reform.
…the jousting between the two has already begun — and columnist Doyle McManus worries that he may have the advantage.
McManus wrote Wednesday:
… Trump has settled on a label for the likely Democratic nominee: “Crooked Hillary.”
“It works,” he boasted to the New York Times. “It flows.”
The problem for Hillary Clinton is that he may be right.
All campaign long, pollsters have found that many voters — including some Democrats — don’t think she’s principled.
However, McManus says that Clinton will still need to do more to counter Trump’s suggestion that she is dishonest. He argues that she should make campaign finance reform the centerpiece of her campaign….

Ah, yes, Hillary has promised a litmus test for promotion to SCOTUS: Overturn Citizens United. She is strongly committed to “campaign finance reform”.
Her words:
Hillary is saying that speech critical of her is a threat to democracy and must be outlawed. That’s what she means by “campaign finance reform”.
This should disturb all Americans, not just evil right-wingers, and indeed it even disturbed some liberals. A Slate report: “Hillary’s Citizens United Criticism Makes It Sound Like She Hates Free Speech”.
