Appearing on MSNBC’s The Rundown with Jose Diaz-Balart on Monday, political reporter Alex Seitz-Wald speculated on whether Hillary Clinton would comment on Donald Trump during an upcoming speech in New Hampshire: “...it might be hard for her to resist, right?

Seitz-Wald observed: “So when Republicans were hesitant to go after Trump on immigration, she attacked them for being slow, for – you know, she would tell Latino audiences, ‘You can't trust Republicans if they can't even take on Donald Trump.’”
