If Hillary Clinton ends up running against Donald Trump in the general election, her campaign reportedly already has its ammunition stockpiled and ready for battle. David Brock, founder of two pro-Clinton super PACs, says that for months now the campaign has been compiling an arsenal of anti-Trump information, including Brock's "Trump Book" of opposition research, Politico reports. "We're going to go out and make the case to the American people against Donald Trump in a way that the Republican Party, frankly, is failing and has failed to do," Brock said in a Wednesday interview on MSNBC Live. "They haven't vetted him. We'll do that vet."
Brock says this vet would be a key difference between the campaign the Republican Party is allegedly running against Trump and the case the Democratic Party would make. "I think they were afraid of alienating his supporters," Brock said. "Democrats are going to be able to run that campaign. And we are going to stand up to Donald Trump as Democrats and Americans."
