Clinton Braces for All-Out Assault

[book_worm]

Politico: “The bombshell Donald Trump video that surfaced Friday has so dramatically altered expectations for Sunday’s town hall debate that one Democrat close to Bill and Hillary Clinton had a new view of what may unfold in St. Louis: ‘Expect Armageddon.'”

Hillary Clinton will arrive at the Washington University debate stage Sunday prepped for battle against an opponent many of her allies believe has already lost the election. Trump, in contrast, will walk onto the debate stage with nothing to lose.”

Bring it on Trump--she'll be ready for whatever bile you want to spew.

1. She should wear disposable gloves

For the handshake part.

[napi21]

3. OR, just flat out ignore him! nt

[still_one]

2. No doubt Bill Clinton will be brought up, and she will be criticized for not leaving him. That

should not be difficult to address

Hillary is not Bill Clinton

[gopiscrap]

23. if that's the case she should throw it back on Trump

the GOP is supposed to be the party of Christianity and family values. Well isn't family values trying to work on your marriage and stay in it in any way? Also doesn't Christianity teach one to forgive?

[still_one]

24. I think she will throw it back at him. Perhaps in this way that no woman should have to put up

with any kind of abuse, and that includes from people who consider themselves "important or celebrities"

[47of74]

29. And if she had left him...

...Orange Hitler and the rest of the family values shit gibbons would be whining about her not standing by her husband.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Hillary is one tough and well-prepared lady.

I'm sure she's ready for whatever he will throw at her.

She knows how to bait him........and I'm sure she will.

[spooky3]

19. Exactly right. We knew she'd be great in the first debate and

We can be equally confident today. It is one of her greatest strengths.

There is nothing he can say that she won't be prepared to confront.

[Dawson Leery]

5. HRC is prepared.

Himmler Jr. does not know what he is getting into.

[underpants]

6. Typical - all the pressure is on Hillary?

It's the other way around. Sunday night is his last chance.

[spooky3]

21. Totally agree. It's like entering the final round

Of the golf tournament with a 10 stroke lead. Yes, she must keep her composure but he has a yuge challenge.

[underpants]

25. Great analogy

[spooky3]

32. Thanks!

[stopbush]

7. Hillary has handled the worst the world has to offer as SoS.

Handling a clown like Trump is really child's play for her. Her biggest challenge is to not break out laughing.

[sheshe2]

8. My opinion.

She has got this and will win hands down.

She is better and brighter that Donnie will ever be. Here is what I see, Hill has a brain and uses it. Trump leads with his balls, that hasn't done that much good for him now has it. Sadly he trips over his balls and ego constantly. Ouch, how battered and bruised his balls must be from tripping over them daily.

[spooky3]

22. You're so right, she!

[bluestateguy]

9. This will be Trump at his most dangerous

nt

[HipChick]

12. Good..he wont be able to control himself

[Wellstone ruled]

10. This is going to be one heck of a Train Wreck.

Watch for the moderator to just capitulate with in the first fifteen minutes. Expecting Con Job to go Postal from the get go. And the target will be his typical deflective use of blaming Bill Clinton and Obama for all of Hillary's so called faults. Call it the Bully approach to debate. Blame the Guy over there.

[bigdarryl]

11. This is a Town hall not a debate like two weeks ago

Undecided voters ask.the questions.So if Trump is foolish enough to bring up Bill Clinton than he's.committing politic suicide

[joshcryer]

20. He is, and will.

Clinton is going to use the venue to appeal to people's sensibilities, taking every opportunity to segue into how Trump can't be relied upon to defend the vulnerable, how he's effectively a predator, etc.

She'll invite him and give him an opening to bring up Bill Clinton. With the response locked and loaded.

[LSK]

13. if he goes there he will just cement his image as a scumbag that he is n/t

[kerouac2]

14. Take Away Quote from Debate #2: "You, Donald Trump, are Deplorable"

Not too long for the front page of every newspaper...

[enough]

15. Is there anything he can possibly say to her that she hasn't dealt with many times before?

If he gets too far out or outrageous, it's just going to look like another form of aggressive abuse from him.

[lastlib]

16. I think this is the perfect time for an ALL-OUT E. Warren Twitter assault....

...on Little Donny! Rattle his nerves til they register on the Richter scale!

Release the Warren!!

[Monk06]

17. It will be the biggest tantrum in history. Epic. Trump will come strapped with explosives

and his thumb on the button

He will press that button hoping he takes Hillary with him

[Chemisse]

18. That's what I expect.

It will be horrific. Even scary for the people in attendance.

But Hillary can handle it. In fact, an out-of-control Trump will do all her work for her.

[Lifelong Protester]

26. I've had this fantasy

of her coming out on the stage with a chastity belt (so he can't grab her you-know-what) but I know that is just my fantasy....

[Doctor Jack]

27. Bullshit!

This article assumes A. That Trump wasn't already dangerously unhinged and constantly attacking Clinton and B. That she hasn't been dealing with right wing bullshit for 35 years.

Short of physically attacking her, she will be fine.

28. If Trump dares to actually show his face, for the first time I will give him credit.

[elmac]

30. The only thing he can say that might hurt her is

that he endorses her for president.

[senseandsensibility]

31. I see what you did there.

[exboyfil]

33. I guess attacks that might be effective

would be demonstrating that Hillary Clinton either facilitated her husband's behavior or intimidated and/or slandered the women who made accusations against him. The most serious is obviously Hillary Clinton's interaction with Juanita Broderick who I would not put past Trump inviting to the debate. Also included in that group is allegations made by Kathleen Willey which seem really crazy and not straight forward to explain (murder of her husband, intimidation by parties unknown). Next would be things she said about Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones, and Gennifer Flowers.

I think the Monica one is not a real problem. To criticize the woman in private to a friend of yours who was having an affair with your husband is not an issue, and a normal human reaction.

Gennifer Flowers is more problematic. Her failed cabaret singer and I would crucify her on cross examination are the strongest statements I have found in the public record.

Did Hillary Clinton say anything about Paula Jones in public?

There does seem to be a lot more things said in private that have been reported, but the same applies to Trump.

The obvious question is whether you should vote for an admitted sexual batterer and accused rapist or someone who is married to an accused sexual batterer and accused rapist. It seems that the obvious answer, all else being equal, is the latter.

34. I hope she doesn't fall into the trap of feeling she has to defend/explain Bill or what happened

It has no relevancy to the debate and if she falls for any tricks, it'll put her on the defensive (as what tends to happen when people take the bait instead of standing firm and refusing to be provoked)

In any case, she'll do a fantastic job-- she's ready
