Well,you wouldn't want to bully a candidate for President of the United States,that would be mean-spirited.

[Bringbackthedraft]

Clinton’s first 2000 Senate debate with Republican rival Rick Lazio, then New York congressman, shows what could go wrong for Trump if he tries to bully her. ................................... Lazio was a lot less known than Trump. Trump doesn’t have to approach her bubble, he has enough on her, so he can lay back and toss a few things at her at will. Its Trumps election to lose, by now he has the support team he needs, so all he needs to do is be cool.

[Chode]

yeah, Lazio invades her safe space so she had to pull her vagina card to counter him

[JPJones]

If you’re not able to take a little ribbing from the Donald, you’re not able to be president.

[Steely Tom]

Yeah, she could do a swan dive instead of a belly flopper.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

She's never been in a REAL debate. Lazio came across as an inexperienced kid. Who has she ever debated in the past of any substance other than other Rats? Trump will expose her like an atomic bomb for the criminal she is, but he will do it nicely.

I think she will try to talk to "facts", be the policy wonk, which bolsters her lifelong qualifications to be president. Trump will tear these apart, talk right over and past her about the raw emotions, the populism and nationalism that he realizes are more important to the voters. We, speaking for myself, don't care about the details of the wall so long as it is built. I don't care how he and the military defeat Islam so long as it is done, Blacks won't care about fixing urban areas so long as it done. This is what I suspect Clinton and the media, so attuned to specifics they can pick apart, don't understand. Clinton be Clinton, Trump be Trump, he wins. Jeb threw money at his attempt and failed spectacularly, Clinton is repeating the same.

Her biggest challenge and prep is to simply survive from a health and breathing perspective. Media will give her points for that before looking further.

"What's wrong Hillary? Can't you take a joke? Where's your sense of humor??"

"I hardly think the American People will see this as a joke, Mr. Trump."

"Oh come on, Hillary! At this point, what difference does it make? Only joking! Only joking!"

[SandRat]

Hillary in the debate

[Steely Tom]

He can do the old Howie Mandel routine if the audience reacts. "What! What! What did I say!?"

Works whether they chuckle, laugh, boo, or hiss.

[Forgotten Amendments]

Primary debates matter. But this year, they were mostly trivialized by egomaniac moderators.

The final debates are a complete waste. They never matter. Anyone who hasn’t decided yet isn’t going to watch and probably won’t vote (a good thing).

[RegulatorCountry]

Expectations are through the floor for Hillary. If she manages to make it through the debate without collapsing and remains modestly cogent, it will be treated as a win. Trump should tread carefully as far as overt attacks directed specifically at her to avoid creating a sympathy vote. Stick to his themes, speak directly to the voting public. Differentiate himself from failed Democrat policies and goals. Tie Democrats to increasing economic and social problems. Speak to optimism about America and Americans and how we, together with him, can fix that.

[ilovesarah2012]

Stupid headline.

[Flavious_Maximus]

Feminazis are always telling us how woman are just as tough as men, except when it doesn’t suite them.

[struggle]

I have a strong feeling that the talk with Sushi could lead to some very surprising allegations about Hillary’s meddling in Egypt. No one will see it coming.

[FrankR]

She probably has only on years experience, 30 TIMES.

[Hot Tabasco]

a deep history she can draw upon

A debate history that never had to deal with Benghazi, deleted emails or the skanky Clinton Foundation........

[ganeemead]

Didn’t Donald Trump just wipe the floor with 17 supposed master-debaters in the GOP primary??

[bk1000]

I don’t think Trump will bully her. He’d make her cry and everyone would feel sorry for her and she’d be a sure winner. Which is sad, because the leader of the free world should have the stones to not get rattled to tears by someone’s bloviation. No, I think Trump will be Mr. Sugar and spice...right up to the point the trap snaps shut.

(Attn grammar cops: Yeah, I know.)
