I think Trump will do the unexpected in tonight’s debate. The expected would be to attack Hillary for her actual evil deeds, including not just supporting her rapist husband, but actually intimidating the rape victims.
I’m thinking that instead Trump pivots to the high road and states that the American people are tired of this sort of gutter politics designed only to protect the political elite and their corporatists like Goldman Sachs. That he is in this race to champion the cause of the American people. Something the ruling elites have forgotten about.
I too think this is what he should do. However, his twitter activity this AM indicates quite the opposite. Rope a dope perhaps?
We may be a minority here, but I agree that's what Trump should do.
There's plenty of opportunity outside the debate for Trump to push back against the personal attacks. Better yet, he should let his prominent supporters do it.
At this point, his best bet is to recruit the real victims of Bill and Hillary Clinton: Kathy Shelton, Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, etc. and give them a platform to tell their story.
