Sanders attacks? What attacks? OH, you mean the attacks where Sanders doesn't even want to discuss Hillary's email problems? That one? Or his dismissal of the confidential/top secret emails flying all over the world unabated? Or his attack on her character ? Or his attack on the Benghazi debacle? We could go on and on and on, Bernie was/is incapable of defending himself therefore he will lose to a common criminal. Trump on the other hand will crush Hillary, the gloves will come off and HilDog will feel the wrath of Trump, its been fun and games so far for Shillary, when Trump comes to bat the millions upon millions from big banks and corporations will not help her. And, he can do it all just telling the truth and that really makes it sweet. Trump will do what Bernie totally failed at, whether he was unable or unwilling or just didn't have the courage we will never know.

Sanders was way too nice, I he did was raise a few issues about Hillary taking money from wallstreet, and special interest. My guess is that's where Trump will go after Hillary.

Hillary has a cornucopia of nasty stuff to go after, its like Christmas for Trump. I would like to think Trump has the balls to do just that and lay it bare for the American public that aren't paying attention. For the hard core Hillary voter it will probably make little difference. That group is so delusional charging her, convicting and jailing wouldn't even change their minds.

Trump will bring a willingness to brawl that Sanders lacked. Look to Clinton to test the waters on playing the "so mean to me" card in some form very early. She's going to want to see if it gets any traction before committing to it.

I'd bet good money on her playing the vagina card fairly quickly in the general election.

Well as not even Bill was that interested in her vagina, I'll be amazed if that works haha.

Indeed.
Trump will not be the only one going after Hillary. There will be a lot of super pacs that will still go after her, that have nothing to do with trump. After all, anyone can make a political ad, and money is speech.

If he was smart, he would add an intellectual side to those attacks that Sanders lacked
