Debate etiquette: Should Trump call his opponent 'Crooked Hillary' on stage?
The Washington Times ^ | September 19, 2016 | Jennifer Harper

Posted on 09/20/2016 5:39:23 AM PDT by kevcol

The survey itself was created by campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, a veteran pollster herself. It asks for practical input on 14 policy items, from illegal immigration to the $19 trillion federal debt. But it also seeks advice on a broader scope. Should Mr. Trump defend his agenda, attack Mrs. Clinton’s ideas or present an equal balance between the two? Here’s a few more questions from the poll, verbatim:

"Do you think Trump should refer to Hillary as 'Crooked Hillary' on stage?

"Should Trump call out Hillary's reluctance to say 'radical Islamic terrorism' and her underlying fear of being politically incorrect?

"Should Trump criticize the Clinton Foundation's corruption, and urge the Clintons to shut it down and return all foreign donations?

Prove that she is crooked during the debates. No need to use the word.

Completely agree.

No! He needs to remember what happened to Rick Lazio in 2000. If he says or does anything that can be painted as disrespectful, he will be bludgeoned by the media. He will be called out for bullying or being menacing. If Lazio had stayed behind his podium he probably would have won that senate seat and Hillary’s political career would have been over. Though he was right on substance, that debate gave the lapdog press and Hillary surrogates all they heeded to kill his chances.

Liberals are routinely calling conservatives stupid, ignorant, irrational (the basis of all the -phobias), evil.
Given that, and that the head of the Democratic party has agreed with that assessment for MOST conservatives, yes, referencing her proven corruption is acceptable.

No.
Treat her like a serious opponent and with utmost courtesy.
But don’t take any cr@p from her and her ‘moderator.’

What derogatory name did he call them? He spoke bluntly, he spoke brashly... but I can’t recall derogatory names being used in the debates.

No. Just explain how and why she is briefly. Then he needs to justify his agenda. A debate is not a campaign rally.

He would be accused of bullying a girl. The feminists like to refer to Hillary as a girl.

At this point I don’t think he needs to.
Her balloon is deflating rapidly enough as it is.

Reagan said something like “there you go again.” That would allow him to imply that she is lying without actually saying it directly.

Are you kidding me? Lying Ted is not derogatory? Little Marco?

I think there were 9 debates and Trump only referred to the others using the nicknames he gave them.

It’s a given that he will say crooked Hillary on the debate stage. It’s a very effective way to frame her image.

He should treat her like a old sick women. Ask her if she has enough water. Or, every five minutes ask her if she needs to take a bathroom break. Does she need to sit down? Does she need the air conditioning turned up?

“Prove that she is crooked during the debates. No need to use the word.”

Exactly what I was going to post.

Here’s my thinking. Libs will protest Donald being “mean” to Hillary or otherwise because she’s a woman. Well, if she thinks Donald is mean, she’ll never handle Putin or any Islamic state leader for that matter. They already view her as a lesser being because she’s female, and an infidel.

I think it might be effective to whip out the moniker immediately after she tells a verifiable whopper, but it certainly would still run afoul of the PC rules for presidents that have become the standard over the past many years.

Think what the media’s reaction to “There you go again” would be today - and it was apoplectic when Reagan said it.

“Trump should bring up Bill’s affair’s.”

But that leaves the door open for her to bring up his. Probably shouldn’t do it.
