Hillary Clinton has already succeeded where Trump's Republican rivals failed

Donald Trump tried to dominate the news cycle Thursday. He really tried. He called his Democratic opponent "Lyin' Hillary" and then again "Crooked Hillary Clinton." He even got endorsement holdout Paul Ryan to finally say he would vote for Trump (to say nothing of actually endorsing him).

But frankly, none of his media bait won the news day. That belonged to Hillary Clinton, who tore The Donald limb from limb in her "foreign policy" speech.

Donald Trump’s ideas aren’t just different, they are dangerously incoherent. They’re not even really ideas. Just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies.

Really, we hadn't seen anything like it thus far in the 2016 election cycle. Though Hillary has indicated numerous times that she's champing at the bit to debate Trump, the big question was whether she could go toe-to-toe with him without seeming small or cheapening herself—the way "Little Marco" Rubio did when he started fixating on Trump's "hand size." It's the very reason that Jeb Bush, and basically the entire GOP field, stayed away from attacking Trump until it was far too late.
