Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumWhen Hillary debates Trump, what will be her strategy? Or, what would you prefer to see?
Will she be the same fact-based and "wonky" candidate we saw when debating Sanders... calmly pointing out the differences, explaining policy and goals, and letting the facts speak for themselves? (It really worked well for her and clearly voters could see her as being more presidential.)
Or will she go on the attack? Will she try to get Trump riled-up so that he loses his cool? She's already got him beat on the facts and the details, so will she do anything that flusters him so that he gets angry and looks (even more) foolish?
Go, Hillary! Beat Trump!

(5,123 posts)she'll do whatever she thinks will work in the debate. I also think being the wonk that she is, and being able to handily refute his garbage in public like she will be able to in this setting, will make him go ballistic.

It was very obvious for me when BS just repeated himself and went back to Economic Issues by the 2nd debate.
First debate it was new but by the 2nd debate my antenna perked up: I could not believe it but yes BS was repeating himself...
Once you see someone as lightweight you just cannot unsee it. That was the end for me of BS...

(10,437 posts)all hillary has to do offer up what she sees as trumps failings in business, in management style and offer ideas and policies...to tell you the truth she needs to be a little snarky with him as its obvious he can't tolerate criticisms...especially by some one he can't intimidate AND coming from a FEMALE...
no way trump will make hillary "lose her cool"....but she can come back at him with outraged indignation....similar to her style in front of the Benghazi witch hunt committee.....
BTW, I won't be surprise if trump refuses any and all face to face debates with hillary

(20,450 posts)Stay calm. Keep her cool. Let Trump self destruct just as Rick Lazio did and she'll be fine.

(37,857 posts)she will need to call him on his ever changing narratives.

(31,827 posts)If she handles Trump like she did Howdy Gowdy, she'll have it in the bag.
Trump will do himself in by showing what an ignoramus he truly is compared to her undeniable understanding of issues and world affairs. He'll be throwing a tantrum and having a melt down while she is cool, calm and collected.

(20,450 posts)dogs: Elizabeth Warren, President Obama, VP Biden, Bill Clinton, James Clyburn, Barbara Boxer, et al. to do that dirty work. Get Bernie Sanders to do that dirty work.
Hillary Clinton has high personal negatives. Sad and probably unfair, but she does. She needs to stay away from attacking him back because it will make her look bad. It's not fair. I know. However, she has enough ammunition, vis-à-vis all the great Democrats behind her.

(30,058 posts)be the Clown Car Chief. I really doubt she can remain without laughter during the debates, he will say something and she will probably break out in her laughter. No, she isn't perfect but still the best qualified candidate.

(71,812 posts)i suppose that would be hard not to do. but early on, she needs to chuckle at him, and get him flustered.

(10,893 posts)will be if Caterpillar Hair will be willing to debate her at all. He acts like he's so tough and smart, but I won't be surprised if he searches for an excuse to chicken out at the last minute. He might do like Cartman did on one South Park episode, where he was supposed to fight Wendy, but he intentionally got in trouble and sent to detention to avoid the fight.
