Hillary's biography offers a target rich environment and you have done a good job of identifying several targets. But more important than the targets selected is the manner of exposing and attacking her record.

The problem for Trump is not that the people are unaware that Hillary is a criminal and a liar, the problem for Trump is that Hillary is successfully bringing him down to her level. The only way she can win this election is to bring both campaigns down to the gutter where her advantages in the electoral college, Democrat infrastructure, money and media support will prevail because people are distracted from her criminality.

So Hillary must bring Donald down to fighting about beauty queens. Trump as a whole different agenda.

Trump has the same challenge in presenting his affirmative case to be president, the manner of its presentation is as important, indeed more important, than the issue itself. In other words, the world, fully cognizant of who Hillary Clinton and her liabilities is looking for an alternative, they want reassurance that Donald Trump is worthy of the office. They want to know if he will be a safe president.

That means the Trump does not have to win on the issues, he already owns the issues for the majority of people, Trump must sell himself as fit for the Oval Office.

I believe he failed signally to do so in the last debate, I believe that Hillary prevailed by looking good on the issues and Trump looked at best unappealing and perhaps even unpresidential. All of this was totally unnecessary, all Trump had to do was to moderate his voice, slowdown his speech, decline to become defensive and appear to be reasonable. That he could do with any one of his issues and that he should have done in the face of the personal attacks against him.

You did it! You put into words the whole problem!

Hillary wasn’t out to win votes. She was just trying to look physically healthy. Her game plan was to push the Donald’s buttons, make him red-faced, roll his eyes, helplessly gasping,”talk to Sean Hannity! He knows what I said!”

He did sound like a junior high kid arguing with his mother. And Hillary gloated like the cat who ate the canary. Like the Bad Seed she is. Her greatest asset a hungry taste for destruction.

Trump is out of his depths debating with a world class liar and cheater like Hillary. There is a Mid Western innocence about him just like my businessman father from Ohio. We are loving his old-fashioned decency. But he needs to do what Reagan did, smile, pause, then say, “There you go again”, and return to the serious plans he has for this country.
