Introduction: I'm very proud that the game plan Eileen and I outlined in our new book "Armageddon, How Trump Can Beat Hillary" is shaking up the race – and helping push Trump to within a razor thin margin with Hillary nationally – and critically in almost every battleground state.

I thought I'd send him my thinking on how to handle the current situation brought about by Hillary's illness. The memo follows below.



OPEN MEMO TO TRUMP

To: Donald Trump

From: Dick Morris

Re: How to Handle Hillary's Illness

Initially, all eyes will be on Hillary to see what is her real medical condition.

As I discuss in "Armageddon," Hillary will typically revert to "secrecy" mode when bad news surfaces. I saw it time and again while working with her for 20 years.

There will be lots of stories about her condition, including speculation about whether she has a more serious illness.

Your focus should be to demand full disclosure. She hates that and it cuts directly into her integrity and trust issues — the ones that have been so problematic for her.

You can call for a full physical exam for Hillary with an MRI whose results must be made public.

At the same time, you should announce that you will refrain from attacking her while she's down and see this period as your audition to be president.

Don't attack her personally but demand that she come clean.

After the focus on Hillary, everybody will swing their attention back to you.

You will become the center of attention.

As I mention in "Armageddon" this is actually the most crucial time for you.

This is because many who had not planned to vote for you may re-think their position.

They will re-evaluate you as to what kind of president you would make.

After all, with Hillary so ill and so secretive about her real medical condition, these voters will think "we may be stuck with him!"

So this is the time to unleash a string of very good, strong, positive issue proposals.

You'll find a list of seven key proposals in "Armageddon," with more for you as menu options.

One after the other; each day a new one.

Meanwhile, show people the dignity, temperament, and presidentiality of which you are more than capable.

Most voters think Hillary will win. So they are now shocked by her apparent illness.

And they will move their focus on to you — and intensely!

They will see what you offer them and the country.

This is the big "second chance" I predicted in "Armageddon" you would have.

Now is your moment to reach voters who may have been alienated by previous events and the negative media spin against you.

It is a heaven sent opportunity.

You can win the election right here, right now!
