One of the biggest ironies of the first presidential debate is that Donald Trump’s reluctance to aggressively attack Hillary Clinton has now given him the license to fully do so.
Going into the debate — his debut on the world’s biggest stage — everyone, including his closest aides, was telling him that he must achieve plausibility: That is, he needed to reassure voters by looking reasonable, confident and self-possessed. If he were able to demonstrate an even temperament and basic command of the issues, voters could picture him behind the Resolute desk in the Oval Office — and Mrs. Clinton’s negative ads about his unfitness would melt away.
Mr. Trump took his marching orders seriously and pulled his punches, at one point even acknowledging his self-restraint: “I was going to say something really rough about Hillary and her family, but I told myself it was not nice. But she spent tons of money on horrible ads about me, and I’ve spent virtually nothing.”
Many are now demanding that he truly go on the attack. Since it’s in the political bloodstream that he did not hit her proactively the last time, he now has a free hand to up the ante without being stigmatized as an unsuitable hothead...

He has no control of what Clinton -- or the moderators -- says or does (though he should certainly challenge them when they lie or team up or ...). So Trump just needs to do what he has excelled at his whole life -- The Art of the Deal ... Close the deal!!
Mr. Trump just needs to repeat all evening:
Cutting taxes and cutting regulations paves the way for new businesses.
Mrs. Clinton wants to increase taxes and regulations.
She is an obstacle to new businesses.
She is an obstacle to new businesses.
Trump needs to look into the camera and talk to the TV audience and ignore HRC.
Although it’s not known as a certainty that Hillary has Parkinson’s Disease, she has something she doesn’t want known. Her operation;s behavior on 9/11 exclude the possibility that she is as healthy as she wants us to believe. If indeed it is Parkinson’s, and if that affects her cognition or will within 4 years, it is a disqualifier.Trump should go to a doctor and ask what he can do for a TV camera which will demonstrate to any doctor watching that he is not afflicted with it. Then, late in the debate - when the effect of any medication she might be on is wearing down - he should demonstrate that he does not have it. All the while remarking on the fact that his and her (similar) age is not a disqualifier of a healthy person, but that Internet rumors have it that one of the presidential candidates does. He should say how you can tell he doesn’t have Parkinson’s - and tacitly leave it to Hillary to either follow suit, or leave the suggestion hanging that she can’t.
And if she does successfully follow suit, declare, “That’s a relief. Silly Internet rumor, I guess . . ."
Trump is Life. Hillary is Death.

I agree, Trump needs to address the clinton Haiti scam and what just happened to Haiti with the storm.
Actually Reince is coaching Trump in debate prep.
Bill Clinton is collecting money for Haiti again thru their Foundation on Twitter. Not making this up. Go check his account.
Good. He was on it in the interview I saw. Had block and deflect down. If Trump would do that he’d have it in the bag.
She was Putin’s pal with the uranium deal. Did Putin not give as much money as he was supposed to? Is that why she’s not happy with him now?
Just don’t interrupt her. When it is your turn, fry her! She has no scruples, and will stand before Americans at the forum and on television and lie! Or she will talk but not say anything really, you do not know where she stands on issues!
He should contrast her positions with his on jobs,taxes, security of the country, immigration, trade. She plays well in the mud so don’t get dragged into the mud.
Easy enough to salt the audience with shills...
I like Monica. She is quick with the response, and doesn’t candy coat it. When asked about bringing up Clinton’s past “indiscretions”, she is the only one who immediately says that it’s Hitlery’s role in strong-arming and silencing Bill’s victims that is the relevant issue in the election.
As an aside, how interesting that the left thinks being a sexual predator, including rape, is an “indiscretion”.
Monica is the sis-in-law of that unbelievable dopey, annoying, obnoxious Alan Colmes. I don’t know how Hannity got through that without murder charges.
