Hillary, on the other hand, can legitimately just hide, as she's been doing through this cycle, and let her army of relatively credible and popular surrogates, including the Presidents and VP, make her case for her, mostly by just attacking Trump. Meanwhile, Trump's just going to keep being Trump, and that's probably not going to help him - his act doesn't get any fresher the more he does it. Even the sort of people who respond positively to his idiocy and trolling have to be getting a bit numb to it at this stage.
I do think we see a different Trump. Not a successful Trump, but a toned down one. Yesterday he was asked about Buffet's comments about nathalie being a terrible businessman and person and he simply said "I'm not going to counter-punch". That was a deliberate comment I'm sure and I am also site he wanted to counter-punch.
