WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — Hillary Clinton has appeared in more than 30 primary debates during her two presidential campaigns, a deep history she can draw upon as she faces Donald Trump on Monday night.
Clinton has been through the debate gauntlet in two New York Senate campaigns as well as in presidential primary match-ups against then-Sen. Barack Obama in 2008, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders this year and other challengers.
Here's a look at some key moments of Clinton's past debates that could influence her performance against Trump:

BULLYING CAN BACKFIRE
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.

Her bar is quite low. If she is able to stay standing in an upright position throughout the ‘debate’ she will be trumpeted to have achieved her purpose. Of course, if she leans across the bar to order a scotch on the rocks, the moderators will only ask one for themselves as well.
How about a half-face palm shielding a raised eyebrow sideways glance at the audience?
That would look like mockery and here comes “poor Hillary.”
WithOUT anything leaking from her Depends.
Not if it were a sincere look of genuine shock and surprise. It's a tough rope to walk, but I think Donald could pull it off.
Hillary Clinton - where boners go to die.

He’s one of the more aware and deft public speakers I’ve ever seen. I suspect his instincts will be correct. But, they’re out in force looking for the slightest thing, even making it up. They’d be all over an exaggerated facial gesture by Trump while she’s speaking.
Hilary has a heart?
Didn’t Donald Trump just wipe the floor with 17 supposed master-debaters in the GOP primary??
“Hillary has a v?”
It was a grievous ax wound from an encounter with feral mountain folk, but has since healed over.
>>>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).<<<
I agree! The outcome of this debate honestly doesn’t matter. I will not vote for Hillary, and even if it were some other democrat I still wouldn’t vote for him or her. I find the politics of the democrat party to be reprehensible and offensive.
If the debate was between a Republican and members of the other parties who are also running, THEN I might find such a debate to be of value. But I really think people have pretty much made up their minds. I think Hillary is at the biggest risk here because of her health.
I’m sure she’ll get a week’s worth of sleep and get pumped up full of drugs in order to get through the ordeal.
I hope Trump also got his media list so he can be well practiced and not fall back on the same ole rally rhetoric. We already know that jobs in Pittsburg, Philly and Detroit are in the trash can, and we all ready know how great America is going to be...so I hope he has something of substance to add to the dialog.
Yeah I agree who is this great debater Hillary? When? Where? Against whom?
If I can’t remember and I don’t have a head injury that caused me to not remember 49 in my FBI interview, how can she remember to be a great debater?
She definitely is a crazy eyes screaming lunatic however I would not use great debater and Hillary in same sentence unless the word not was there.
If Hillary collapses wonder what the Vegas odds are, then Trump just stands there and let her handlers pick up the cadaver.
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.)
Hillary Clinton: The first candidate ever at a debate who was intimidated and frightened by a guy trying to say hello, is going to best Trump. Yeah, got it. Right.
Good. Build her up Ay Pee, yahoos.
Cankles 30 other debates = Rat vs. Rat
Not to mention the Arkancide and Fort Marcy factors if you over-rankle her cankles
