Clinton Camp Asks for Change to Handshake Protocol at Final Debate: Report
The Hill via FoxNews ^ | October 19, 2016 | The Hill Staff

Posted on 10/19/2016 5:28:06 AM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign has asked to change the setup of the pre-debate greetings on Wednesday night, The New York Times reports.

At previous debates, the spouses of both candidates have met to shake hands. But this time around, former President Bill Clinton and Melania Trump will enter the debate hall in a way that avoids having the families cross paths.

Two people with direct knowledge of the situation told the Times that the Clinton camp requested the change after the last debate, after GOP nominee Donald Trump invited three women who’ve accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault to attend as his guests.

Not really, of course.

But really they’d love to get people chatting about this for a couple of days—instead of Wikileaks and Project Veritas or, God forbid, the the issues.

I’d send her a bottle of hand sanitizer to use immediately after in full view of the cameras.

Hillary, you're a WIMP.

The msm has never reported she was about to cry at the last debate. They can't show her as being weak. If Trump could do this, then a foreign government could, too.

It is not wise for Trump to use threatening language because:

1. there may be those that will vote for Hillary because of a sense of sympathy for her
2. A cornered rat is dangerous — think arkancide.

Great for those already on board--and for the day after, But for tonight and tomorrow, consider:

Note On Essential Tactics

I do not want to come across as arrogant; but based on 60+ years of fighting for traditional American values, including hours of using live TV to advantage, I want to share some experience driven suggestions, both for our candidate, and all of us who will be actively promoting a Trump victory in just 20 days.

While speaking in anger can sometimes help rally those who share your beliefs and priorities, it is not the most effective way to convert those who dissent from our purpose. When there is a real problem to be addressed, it is almost always better to speak in sorrow than in anger.

In the present ideological conflict, there is great reason for sorrow. We need to interject, in every possible exchange, those contemporary phenomena that are not only unfortunate from our stand point; but which are likely to be understood as sad by anyone listening to us.

Putting this understanding to work in a situation such as tonight's Presidential debate; Trump needs to intertwine his response to essential policy issues, by sadly lamenting the background social climate, which certainly impacts all aspects of contemporary American life, including the problem reflected in the issue. For example:

The decline in pride in heritage, openly encouraged by Obama's repeated apologies to others for America's traditions & achievement--leading to Americans kneeling through the Star Spangled Banner;--his & Mrs. Clinton's siding with Soros financed thugs against the Police--leading to the cold blooded assassination of American cops;--their refusal to protect the border, leading to job losses among rooted Americans, brutal crimes against American women, and the despicable riots in California, where aliens who do not share our values, or honor our heritage, intimidate local officials into not celebrating the achievements of the Founding Fathers and their posterity.

It was only last week, when anti-American culturalists advocated not celebrating Columbus Day! The Obama/Clinton cabal seem intent on denying that our values & achievements, under uniquely American cultural values, grew directly out of the experience driven values of particular European settlers. That is fact. It takes nothing away from the achievements or values of any other people; but it is our fact, and we are entitled to honor that fact and the rich cultural heritage it reflects.

To the extent that the Obama/Clinton cabal would deny us pride in our history, they are truly bigoted enemies. But we do best, again, when we lament the success of our enemies, as we explain, again quietly and sadly, how totally despicable is this ongoing attack, coming indeed from those who have benefited so much, while gaming our system.

Some may think that this approach is going soft. It is precisely the opposite. In place of venting our wrath at the Obama/Clinton betrayal, we begin to instill wrath in some of those who otherwise would simply go along with the enemy, "to get along."

There is nothing the least bit new in these tactics. Anyone familiar with Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar," is quite familiar with the technique. It worked in the play because it reflects a true understanding of the psychological factors involved.

I can’t find it now, but there was a video of a WWII surrender ceremony (on the USS Missouri ???) where a Japanese officer came aboard, offered a handshake and the US guy instinctively reached out his hand, then corrected himself and thumbed the guy aboard.

I’d love to see Trump offer his hand to Clinton and when she refuses, thumb her over to her podium. The ultimate humiliation and Alpha-Male tactic.

And who else went on this BLM fascist bandwaggon? None other than Cruz, Beck and Rinos.

And Cruzers were out and about calling me Alt Right for defecting from Cruz to Trump. Bunch of fools.

Indeed, the sheeeeeple feeeeeeeeel baaaaaaad, when they cannot help a wounded animal and instead must drive on. Wounding Hillary would be bad move. Of course as a woman she will allow herself to be vicious, cuz woman and children first.

It is like when my creepy exgirlfriend kept telling me I made her feel bad. The only one feeling bad is the one with the goods and capable of deciding to hand them or not, and she had no goods to hand over, so there was no way she could feel bad about anything.

Same thing with Hillary: she is a witch creep and must be outed on her “feeeel baaaad” language for the chiiiiildren. The sheeple fall for it everytime, her taking their guns in the process because feeeeel baaaaad.

She has nothing to give, she has no reason to feeeeel baaad about anything. She is a creep. The American tax payers and to a lesser extent Trump have a lot to
lose
