Hillary Clinton had a rotten weekend.
Over the weekend, a series of stories broke that had the power to dramatically hurt her campaign. Hillary special friend Huma Abedin was outed for her connections to a radical Muslim journal that fought against women&#8217;s rights and said America was responsible for 9/11; Abedin herself ripped Hillary&#8217;s 1995 feminist agenda.
Also, Hillary blamed Colin Powell for her email scandal, and Powell then told the press that she was attempting to scapegoat him. Ouch.
Meanwhile, Hillary&#8217;s campaign chairman, John Podesta, runs a lobbying group that is under federal investigation &#8211; ironically, over their involvement with Trump former campaign chairman Paul Manafort&#8217;s Ukrainian and Russian money ties.
And Hillary couldn&#8217;t be bothered to go down to Louisiana, even as Trump did.
Finally, then there&#8217;s the Clinton Foundation: they&#8217;ve been linked over and over again to pay-for-play at the State Department.
Trump issued a statement about the Clinton Foundation: &#8220;Hillary Clinton is the defender of the corrupt and rigged status quo. The Clintons have spent decades as insiders lining their own pockets and taking care of donors instead of the American people. It is now clear that the Clinton Foundation is the most corrupt enterprise in political history. What they were doing during Crooked Hillary&#8217;s time as Secretary of State was wrong then, and it is wrong now. It must be shut down immediately.&#8221;
This is great.
Trump should have just kept repeating it.
Somebody should have taken away his cell phone.
Nobody did.
And so on Monday morning, Trump attacked Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski on MSNBC. And over the weekend, Trump campaign surrogates began walking back his position on illegal immigrants already in the United States, saying that Trump might not put together a deportation force, and might embrace a pathway to legalization for those non-criminals already here.
Blurgh.
Trump&#8217;s campaign has one job: contain the man. Let Hillary ruin herself.
So far, that&#8217;s proving to be an uphill battle.
