With the GOP in full auto-destruct mode w/Trump, and Bernie Sanders having insufficient funds to pose a real threat, there is no logical reason for Clinton to bother campaigning. She doesn't need to speak at any events, hold any rallies, or show up to any debates. In fact, it's better for her not to say anything publicly since she can't tell the truth, and will just end up reinforcing her near-solid reputation as a stale, political calculator w/no ideas. Simply stated, if she doesn't open her mouth, her current lead in the polls over all her competitors will remain.
I can't think of any way how she could possibly lose given the current state of the competition. Trump is set to win the GOP nomination, since he's maintaining his lead and so the only way he can't win is if the RNC breaks its own delegate nomination rules, which Preibus cannot do since Trump can threaten to sue the RNC if he does.
And Trump is guaranteed to lose the general election since no Latino will vote for someone who's overtly prejudiced (i. e. "undocumented immigrants are rapists" comment) against them. The 2012 loss by Romney proved, mathematically, that one cannot win the Presidency by losing almost all (if not all) of the Latino vote.
Bernie is simply unlikely to win the DNC nomination since he doesn't have any major donors (he won't accept any), meaning he'll be wiped out on the national scale, since his message won't get further than the isolated group of supporters he already has.
So if she wants to win, she should just stay home until January 20, 2017, the day when the Constitution requires her to report to work.
