She had a good interview this morning and hit a lot of good spots:
“My campaign is not going to let Donald Trump try to normalize himself,” the Democratic presidential front-runner said in an interview airing Sunday on NBC’s "Meet the Press." “I've said he was unqualified to be president. I believe that deeply.”

Absolutely. That's the key. You can't let him normalize himself. You can't allow him to be considered just another candidate. He's not running for President but aspires to be the American Putin, the First Dictator. Indeed, as Scott Sumner puts it, American Caesar.
"The former New York senator and secretary of state hit the presumptive Republican presidential nominee for refusing to release his tax returns, talking of pulling the U.S. out of NATO and, she said, of “advocating a return to torture, and even murdering the families of suspected terrorists.”
“That is beyond the pale. And it poses immediate dangers,” Clinton said. “There's no evidence he has any ideas about making America great, as he advertises. He seems to be particularly focused on making himself appear great. And as we go through this campaign, we're going to be demonstrating the hollowness of his rhetoric. And the danger of a lot of what he has said.”

Very nice: she got him on his tax returns. The part about 'trying to make himself appear great' is key. Now she brings it home:
"She said she appreciated Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban’s “openness” to considering serving as her running mate."
“I am absolutely intending to look far and wide,” she said. “And I think that is the best way to find somebody who can really capture what's needed in the country, and business people have, especially successful business people who are really successful as opposed to pretend successful.”

I like that. Using Mark Cuban to bash Donald Trump. This is something she and the Dems are going to do. Showing that he's not so great after all. His business success is not what he says it is.
Look. You can argue that the Trump Tower was a great accomplishment, though he scrimped on the material, and used illegal immigrant labor, and ran it through mob ties. But what has he done since then? The only thing of note has been the Apprentice.
At the end of the day there are two problems with his Great Businessman Theory of politics.
1. Economists consider it quite dubious that being a great businessman makes you a great President. A good illustration of this is his talk about defaulting on US debt and using the bankruptcy laws to get a better deal.
But as Hillary has pointed out America is not a real estate deal
2. In any case, he is not a great businessman like Mark Cuban, et. al.
