Hillary Clinton has a lot to learn about insults if she is going to out-shine Donald Trump

Let the insults begin.
Remember when Jeb Bush said this?
“Donald, you’re not going to be able to insult your way to the presidency.”
Oh, how Ted Cruz wishes that were true. Although on the plus side, it appears that getting trounced in Indiana means he and Donald can finally be friends again. Mr. Trump suddenly had nothing but nice things to say:
“Ted Cruz – I don’t know if he likes me or doesn’t like me…”

Hmmm … you called him Lyin’ Ted about a hundred times, and accused his father of being with Lee Harvey Oswald right before the Kennedy Assassination. Yeah, he probably wants to kiss you on the lips.
“But he is one hell of a competitor,” Trump added. “He’s got an amazing future. So I want to congratulate Ted. I know how tough it is.”
Yes. A hell of a future, as a footnote in a Wikipedia article.
But at least Ted Cruz finally has a friend in the Republican Party.
Anyway, that leaves Hillary Clinton. And the big question is: will she out-insult Donald Trump? Can she out-insult him? Let’s go back to back 2008, when Hillary Clinton was facing an upstart senator.
“I will bring a lifetime of experience and Senator Obama will bring a speech he gave in 2002.”
Hmm. Not feelin’ the burn. How about this one.
“Lifting whole passages from someone else’s speech is not change you can believe in its change you can Xerox…”
EH, kind of canned.
“Enough with the speeches and the big rallies. This is wrong … So shame on you, Barack Obama.”
That’s a little better. Maybe if we spice it up a little with some editing and Trump it up a bit.
“This is wrong … So [bleep] on you, Barack Obama.”
There you go!
