Yes, but as I and other have said, talking over and over about how when you’re president you’re not going to sneak into nurseries around the country and strangle babies as they sleep just reinforces the idea that you might actually do it.

Clinton doesn’t need to pound any message beyond, “Look at what that asshole Donald Trump did today”. Any talk about her specific positions on things will just remind people why they didn’t want to vote for her.
