I would not, and will not, give Hillary Clinton any debate advice.

[MineralMan]

She needs no such presumptuous advice from me or, frankly, anyone else not involved in the actual day-to-day campaign process. She is someone who has proven herself to be eminently qualified to be President. She is someone who has already met with world leaders and negotiated agreements. She has been a U.S. Senator. She has served as Secretary of State. She has participated in many debates, and has sat through 11 hours of hostile questioning by a congressional committee.

Hillary Clinton knows what she is doing tonight. She'll do just fine without my advice, so I'll refrain from offering any. I'll be watching or listening to the debate. She will be the one on stage, not me.

1. K&R!

[Doodley]

2. I agree and believe she will wipe the floor with Donald Trump

[MineralMan]

3. I'm sure she will. I'm not sure what effect it will have

in November, but I'm confident that Hillary Clinton will win then, too.

[greatauntoftriplets]

4. Me either.

She's been down this road a few times before (though not with Trump, of course). I haven't.

[Sunlei]

5. She'll do just fine.

On the other hand, the Republican had a bad night. His single tweet last evening had to be removed. The answers upset the thin skin.

[MineralMan]

6. Yes she will.

As always. She'll also do fine as President. Probably better than anyone expects.

[BlueMTexpat]

7. Thank you, MM!

She's doing just fine. The "nervous nellies" - not so much.

[MineralMan]

12. Yup. We all need to just relax and watch.

[Mamajami]

8. She is going to amaze the voters. I know it.

[MineralMan]

13. I think she will, too.

There will be those who hate her, but this debate isn't aimed at them in any way.

[NWCorona]

9. Hillary has 38 presidential debates under her belt.

And she's tangled with the best of them.

What advice could I possibly give Hillary? Probably none and I expect her to win tonight.

[Orsino]

10. I'm sure I could mansplain a few things...

...but nothing she doesn't already know.

[MineralMan]

14. Yeah. Mansplaining she doesn't need at all.

No woman does.

[Orsino]

17. She'll get plenty tonight. n/t

[Frank Cannon]

11. I have no doubt that she will kick ass.

She's been doing this her whole life, and she has the best prep team in the world behind her. She's got this.

But I assure you that NBC and Lester Holt will do everything they can to help out the assclown.

[MineralMan]

15. I think Trump will show himself to be beyond help.

I doubt he can help but do that.

[Blue_Adept]

16. According to ABC, this is her 35th presidential debate

And ninth of this cycle.

Frankly, having never debated myself, and knowing the utter weirdness of this particular cycle, I can't imagine providing suggestions. That's what the team she's paying for is doing based on a whole lot more information than 99.99% of us here have.

If I'm going to trust her with the presidency, I can trust her with running her campaign.

[MineralMan]

18. Exactly. I trust Hillary to do a great job tonight,

and as POTUS. My confidence level is high.

[Sunlei]

19. She did an excellent job, very even and professional throughout entire debate.

[MineralMan]

20. She did. I was not surprised.
