Here’s how Donald Trump could turn it all around

Donald Trump would like the media to spend more time covering Hillary Clinton’s leaked emails instead of the sexual assault allegations against him.
Not a bad idea because those emails are pretty interesting.
For example, one email shows her speechwriter inserted statements into a paid speech to Deutsche Bank executives — designed to protect her in case the speech got out.

Quoting from speech writer Dan Schwerin: “I wrote her a long riff about … how the financial industry has lost its way, precisely for the purpose of having something we could show people if ever asked what she was saying behind closed doors for two years to all those fat cats.”
Talk about conniving.
But when Trump does things like challenging Hillary to take a drug test, how can we focus on the emails? He has to help us here!
But it may not be too late – at the next debate he could say: “OK Hillary, you win on the woman thing! I have been as careless in the way I spoke about women as you were careless with your emails. But your emails clearly show that if you’d released your speeches, Bernie wold have beat you.”
And Hillary, because I know what you’re going to say next (and at this point he would plop a cardboard box on the podium) “here are my complete tax returns — have at it!”
That would blow a) the assault stories off the front page and b) everybody’s mind.
