So when do you think Donald Trump will start insulting Chelsea Clinton?

He clearly is trying to get a rise out of Hillary by dredging up Bill's infidelities from 20 years ago. It's not working, in that she's keeping her cool.

So when will Trump take it to the next level and start smearing Chelsea Clinton? Because I do think that that line of attack would make both Clintons visibly angry.

Which is exactly why he would do it if my theory is correct.

chelsea is basically not political ofher than supporting her mother, and even repugs would likely see it as the cheap shot it would be

he gains nothing and stands to look like a mean bully picking on a nonpolitical young woman.

not gonna happen.

he has proven that already. i just don't see what gain there is in going after someone completely unconnected other than a family relationship. he thinks he has more ammo on bill and will continue to beat that drum with his knuckledragger followers. much more material there as he sees it imo

Hillary especially has already been through the fire and walked out the other side; I think she has a spine of steel.
