I would say do everything you can to bait Trump, though. Force him to get flustered and loud while looking calm, throwing out a few humorous jabs ("the only thing smaller than your hands might be your grasp of detail&quot . Take little jabs at him because it'll get under his skin.

But I really think, trump will be advised not to lose it, his people will
tell him, Dont do or say anything to Clinton that she can use, remain
calm and talk policies.

But I think perhaps your right, he could be like a time bomb, and maybe
the right words from Clinton will set him off.

Giant Clam Poaching Wipes Out Reefs in South China Sea
A new analysis of satellite imagery shows extensive coral reef damage in the South China Sea for the first time.
Chinese Giant clam poachers left this reef left broken and barren, while protected by the Chinese Navy.



More than 40 square miles (104 square kilometers) of coral reefs—some of the most biodiverse on Earth—have been destroyed by giant clam poaching in the South China Sea, according to a new analysis of satellite imagery. The poachers use boat propellers to loosen the valuable bivalves, which can weigh up to 500 pounds (227 kilograms) and are a luxury item in China. Carving up a reef leaves it barren of life. And because reefs in the region are often interconnected, the damage in one place can have repercussions elsewhere.

Another 22 square miles (58 square kilometers) of reef have been destroyed by island-building activities, largely by China to solidify its presence, according to the analyis, which was presented at the South China Sea Conference on Tuesday at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC. Early Tuesday morning, the Permanent Court of Arbitration in the Hague, an international tribunal, issued a long-awaited ruling in favor of the Philippines' claim that China violated its responsibilities under the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Seas by engaging in large-scale environmental destruction to build artificial islands.

John McManus, a marine biologist at the University of Miami who did the analysis, says about 10 percent of the shallow reefs in the Spratly Islands and 8 percent in the Paracels have been damaged by poaching and island building.

The South China Sea is fiercely contested.

It will send him completely over the edge.

She will, of course, answer the questions, something he'll be incapable of.

Aptly named. Just let him swing and miss wildly until he wears himself out, then pound him into the canvas.

He already looked like a gas-filled lout. I don't think she'd need to needle him much to make him either explode, or completely deflate.

Of course, he'll still get the crude oaf vote.
