Hillary Clinton's Experience Debating Trump
It is a waste of time to try to refute Mr. Trump’s arguments like in a normal debate. It’s nearly impossible to identify what his arguments even are. He starts with nonsense and then digresses into blather. This has gotten only worse in the years since we debated. I was not surprised that after a recent meeting, several chief executives said that Mr. Trump, as one journalist described it, “could not keep a straight thought” and was “all over the map.” Yet expectations for him are so low that if he doesn’t literally light himself on fire on Thursday evening, some will say he was downright presidential.

Seeing it, I was reminded of my Mom when my sister and I were kids and loved pulling pranks. One day one (or both) of us crept up and surprised my Mom like that and she reflexively reached back and smacked us across the face. One might wonder if it was not at least partially intentional, but I'm pretty convinced it was pure reflex.
That is what I wish HRC had done that night- so hard she would have knocked him over- or even off the stage.
