Sometimes nothing is the best response.
"Bill Clinton finally took the campaign stage today on behalf of Hillary Clinton, at a time when many observers were expecting him to take on rival Donald Trump directly. In recent weeks Trump has tried to deflect his own sexist behavior by accusing the former President of being the real sexist, and with the timing of the latter’s reentry onto the big stage, Americans were expecting fireworks all around today. Instead, Bill Clinton found a novel way to silence Trump altogether."
"In the hours leading up to Bill Clinton’s first major 2016 campaign speech, Donald Trump used his Twitter account to issue increasingly hyperbolic yet generic warnings about how Bill’s public presence would somehow backfire on Hillary. It felt like Trump was making one last attempt at scaring Hillary into pulling the plug on Bill. But it turns out the Clintons had a different strategy today altogether."
"Bill Clinton spoke at length today, highlighting Hillary’s long list of qualifications for President. But the speech was perhaps most notable for what he didn’t say. Bill didn’t give Donald Trump any attention, instead focusing on his own candidate’s positives. As a result, Trump suddenly had nothing to say about the matter on his Twitter account today, seemingly having been stunned into silence by the fact that Bill Clinton didn’t give him any attention at all. It appears Trump isn’t even quite sure how to respond to the lack of attention."

The media has been desperate to hype a Clinton-Trump war but I like this move by Bill. Why get into it now? What actual advantage would it give Hillary?

My guess is it's negligible either way. Now if we get Trump in the general, then the gloves come off. But for now-let the GOPers have their little primary and figure out who they want to support. Brilliant response.
"Former president Bill Clinton took the high road this morning in his first public reaction toDonald Trump since the GOP front-runner began attacking him as a "sexist.”
"Asked by ABC News whether his sexual history was “fair game” in the campaign, Clinton said “the Republicans have to decide who they want to nominate. I'm trying to tell the Democrats and the country why I think Hillary would be the best president.”
“I think there's always attempts to take the election away from the people,” he continued.
"He declined to elaborate on any of Trump’s claims."
That is just a brilliant formulation in terms of it's non-elaboration .Well played Sir!
"At times in 2008, President Clinton was called “a liability” to his wife’s campaign, veering off-message to attack Barack Obama. He kept his temper in check today, but offered some lines that could be construed as needling Trump’s anti-immigration policies."
"Bill Clinton said the next president must “preserve our individual liberties, and our reputation for being an open country,” pointing to the story of a Muslim immigrant who took to his prayer mat after he narrowly avoided armed robbery, praying his family could join him in America."
“That guy is more representative of most Muslims in America than what happened in San Bernardino,” the former president said to applause.
He also dismissed the notion, held by some Trump supporters, that the business mogul might abandon his more outlandish plans once elected.
“It’s kind of scary this year,” he warned, “but believe it or not, most everybody actually tries to do what they say they're going to do when they're running. They're telling you what they believe. And so you've got to take them seriously.”
Trump, meanwhile, was slated to speak later today in Lowell, Massachusetts, less than 30 miles from where former President Clinton held his first event."
