I read a good point today that Trump's immediate response was wrong. His focus was on the system being rigged (despite the fact that a popular and respected Republican was at the center of it). Yet what he should be focusing on is the fact that Comey said that Hillary and her staff were essentially incompetent in this regard. An incompetence argument hits Clinton a lot harder (in one of her areas of strength) than the corruption and entitlement argument, which is really reaching the point of diminishing returns.

Meanwhile, at her campaign speech today, Clinton was largely in the background while Obama teed off on Trump. It's a clear and transparent bait to try and get Trump talking about anything other than the emails; will he take that bait and get into a war of words with Obama?
