The Democratic presidential nominee&#8217;s campaign machine is already pointing the finger at the GOP claiming this is nothing more than final-hour mud-slinging.

&#8220;Tilting at Windmills&#8221; is a metaphoric expression of the futility of fighting a battle one cannot win.  The idea is the product of an adventure experienced by the hero in Cervantes&#8217; Don Quixote.
