5. "So let's take a look at what he has done. He's written a lot of books about business -- they all seem to end at Chapter 11," Clinton said in a speech Monday, drawing huge applause from her supporters.
Politico national politics reporter Eli Stokols told TheWrap that this is a crafty approach, but it could get old.
“It’s the kind of line that is good the first time because it has a ring to it, it’s kind of clever and she’s sort of saying something with a wink and a nod,” Stokols Said.
“She’s going to make to is to redefine him not as a private entrepreneurial success, but as more of a poster child for some of the bad business excesses. It’s a really interesting strategy,” University of Southern California clinical professor of communications Gordon Stables told TheWrap.

“It’s about his character… she obviously wanted to highlight that there is something about his disposition or his temperament that basically says, ‘he doesn’t have the patience or wisdom or character to occupy the kind of crisis in the White House,’” Stables said.

“I actually thought that was the most effective thing that you heard from her in terms of articulating this, because it personalizes it, it conveys that she’s someone who is a real person,” Stokols said. "It’s something that some voters will be able to relate to personally and it seemed convincing.”
2. "I have this old-fashioned idea that if you're running for president, you should say what you want to do and how you'll get it done”
Stables feels that she could be looking to reach Bernie Sanders supporters that still feel frustrated.
“There are voters with a different economic critique… there is something they don’t like with the way Trump did business and she’s going directly at it,” he said.
1. "The Chamber of Commerce and labor unions, Mitt Romney and Elizabeth Warren, economists on the right and the left and the center, all agree: Trump would throw us back into recession," Clinton said.

“Clinton is defining the campaign on her terms… she’s positioning herself to make the argument she’s going to make in November. Trump is still fighting to define and differentiate what to say. He ran a very smart campaign to defeat the other Republican primary competitors,” Stables said.
