This would be in the hope that she gets the nomination. Clearly, from the Republican point of view, she is the most vulnerable of the Democratic candidates. And Bill Clinton probably told the Bush family that the best strategy for both of them is for Hillary to go on the attack aggressively and get the Republicans to attack only Hillary...

3. good question by the blogger but his 'logic' is off the wall
You must be able to decode all of their releases, and when you do say: What would Machiavelli do?
