2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumOK, Hillary...here's how you handle it.
We all know after Monday night, Trump will come out hot and sleazy. Unless they heavily sedate him, he'll do another meltdown within the first 30 minutes. But we all also know that he WILL bring up Bill's affairs. So here's how Hillary SHOULD handle it.
OK, Donald. Yes, there have been some serious problems in my marriage. I always knew Bill was a tough dog to keep on the porch*
but I love him anyway. There was pain, and a lot of it. It's not easy to have something like that played out on the world stage. But it's not anything 10's of millions of women and men haven't endured before me, and will after me. I don't know what happened in YOUR first 2 marriages to make your wives decide that it wasn't worth fighting for, but Bill and I decided ours was. We talked, we fought, we yelled, we cried. But we worked it out. And we stayed together and saved our marriage, not only for ourselves, but for our daughter. How about you?
*She described him this way herself many years ago! I thought it was epic.

Maybe we should have a private discussion about marriage. It will take a long time for you,since you have had so many,so let's use our debate time on other topics.

(959 posts)That's it. Because yes indeed, it's coming. He's practically giddy with anticipation of throwing down with this. Completely unaware of what a douchebag this will make him appear to 80 percent of the country. And that it will open him up for comparison.

(1,372 posts)The plan is to go after Hillary for the things she purportedly said about Lewinsky when it all broke. They're looking to use it to say she treats women poorly herself.
Won't work, though. Would be a huge mistake to open this can of worms, IMO.
