Republican “leaders” have been too cowardly and too inept to take on Donald Trump. Not Hillary Clinton.

She’s the one person in American politics today who has the toughness, the fortitude and, yes, the balls to stop the gold-plated Manhattan egomaniac from getting to the White House.

Republicans waited for Trump to do himself in. Then they waited for somebody else to do him in. Now they’re whining for somebody to do him in before he does them in.

Except for the ones who are rationalizing their cowardice by saying they’ll “support the nominee of the party.”

The only Republican who could beat him, Ted Cruz, is also the only Republican who could be a worse President than Trump.

Yes, I know all the complaints about Hillary. And she does have high negatives. Some are because she’s named Clinton, and some are because she’s named Hillary. But one person in American politics has even higher negatives: Trump.

Already, Hillary’s allies are doing the opposition research on Trump that Republicans should have done long ago. Like how he’s cheated and mistreated people who worked with him and for him in business.

Hillary won’t hold back when she finds his weak spots. She’s been fighting – and whipping – people like Trump all her life: Nixon, Arkansas Republicans, the vast right-wing conspiracy and her opponents in New York. And she got plenty of experience handling madmen as Secretary of State.

She’s a fighter. She’s got the scars and bruises to show for it. And she’s got what it takes to do what Republicans with little hands couldn’t and wouldn’t do.
