Assuming she wins the FBI primary, and becomes the Dem candidate, the strategy to beating Trump is not talking how dangerous and unstable he is. This is losing strategy. No one cares what could happen to Latvia because Trump makes them pay for their defense in NATO, or Japan doesn't like his talk on foreign policy. Or even his misogyny or hate against the Mexicans or Muslims. This kinda of strategy is only going to win the 50 or so establishment GOP neocons.
See GOP has been successfully winning elections when everyone knows already they are the party of racists, sexists, homophobes, xenophobes, etc. In fact him being more blunt about it might actually get him few more voters who thought the GOP was too "PC".
The theme of all Trump attacks should be highlighting his scams. This guy is scam artist. Everything he does is rooted in fraud. Talk about his scams and all their victims. I'm pretty sure there thousands of people who have being hurt by his scams. Similar to the trail Romney left in his layoffs and outsourcing jobs. Your racist, sexist Trump voter might not care he may nuke Kenya on a whim, but he will certainty sympathize with some of the victims, and their story. They may have never being discriminated on basis of sex, race, religion, but almost everyone has being scammed or taken advantage of.
Very few people will be going out there to vote for Hillary. This will be low turnout election, with all the enthusiasm being on Trump's side. Any negative messaging should be focused on reducing Trumps supporters turn out. The only way to do is that attack Trump strengths (his supposed wealth which doesn't exist, because he is fraud, and just scam artist).
