Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump gearing up for an ugly political battle

Donald Trump knows very well that Hillary Clinton is a smart politician, but he also knows she isn’t necessarily a smart campaigner, writes Bette Browne

Hillary Clinton would do well to heed the adage: Be careful what you wish for. She’s been wishing that Donald Trump would be her Republican rival for the White House and now she’ll likely get her wish. But battling Trump will not be as easy as she thinks. After all, he’s already toppled one political dynasty.

The thinking in the Clinton camp that a match-up with Trump would gift her the White House is quickly vanishing and a new reality is taking hold, with some Democrats questioning whether she can succeed where the might and money of the Republican establishment has failed in its efforts to halt Trump.
