... but too many of her supporters replied that such comments made us into "concern trolls." The reality is that Hillary is getting hammered on the trust and likability issue, even though her record is pure as the driven snow compared to Trump's.

She must emphasize that all the accusations against her were made by Republicans, promoted by conservative media, investigated by Republican conservatives (who found she did nothing criminal), and her reputation has been sullied by her political opponents using millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars.

She needs a sustained, campaign long response to these attacks, while at the same time continuing to attack Trump and promote her policies. If she was a man, she might be able to ignore these attacks, but unfortunately these attacks play into American sexism that women can't be trusted, and the media is just a puppet to this kind of sexism.
